The PicoWay laser by Candela is considered the best tattoo removal laser for several compelling reasons:

1. Effectiveness: PicoWay employs advanced picosecond technology, delivering ultra-short pulses of laser energy. These pulses effectively target tattoo pigment particles, breaking them down into smaller fragments. This advanced technology ensures efficient tattoo removal, even for stubborn or multicolored tattoos.
2. Minimized Pain: One of the main advantages of the PicoWay laser is its ability to minimize discomfort during tattoo removal. The ultra-short pulses of laser energy generate less heat buildup in the skin, resulting in reduced pain and discomfort compared to other laser systems. This makes the tattoo removal process more tolerable for patients.
3. Fewer Sessions: PicoWay’s innovative technology allows for optimal tattoo removal results in fewer treatment sessions compared to other lasers. The ultra-short picosecond pulses efficiently fragment tattoo pigment particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This efficient process reduces the number of sessions required, saving time and minimizing inconvenience for patients.
4. Versatility: PicoWay is highly versatile, capable of treating a wide range of tattoo colors and types, including stubborn or resistant tattoos. Its advanced technology allows for precise customization of treatment parameters, ensuring optimal results for each patient.
5. Skin Safety: The PicoWay laser is designed with patient safety in mind. Its ultra-short pulses minimize damage to surrounding skin tissue, reducing the risk of scarring and pigmentation changes. This ensures that the tattoo removal process is not only effective but also safe for the patient.
6. Skin Rejuvenation: In addition to removal of tattoos, PicoWay offers the added benefit of skin rejuvenation. The laser’s ultra-short pulses stimulate collagen production, promoting skin renewal and improving texture. This can result in a smoother, more youthful complexion, providing an extra incentive for patients seeking tattoo removal.
