PicoWay: pigment problems, measured in picoseconds.

Ultra-short pulses that shatter dark spots, remodel acne scars, and clear tattoos, mechanically, not thermally, so surrounding skin stays calm and downtime stays minimal.

How It Works

Shatter the pigment. Spare the skin.

Photoacoustic, not photothermal

PicoWay delivers energy in trillionths of a second, pulses so short the pigment shatters from the acoustic impact before meaningful heat can build. Your body then clears the fragments naturally over the following weeks. Less heat means less risk to surrounding tissue, faster recovery, and safer treatment across a broad range of skin tones.

The same precision drives three specialties: dark spots and sun pigment, cleared where creams gave up; acne scars, where PicoWay Resolve rebuilds collagen beneath the scar with clinical evidence behind it; and tattoo removal, including stubborn colors older lasers abandoned.

Common Questions

Before you book.

How many sessions for dark spots?+
Discrete sunspots often improve dramatically in one to two sessions. For pigmentation correction with PicoWay Resolve, we typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart; pricing is quoted at your consultation. We'll type your pigment first at our Brentwood office — that diagnosis decides everything.
Is PicoWay safe for darker skin tones?+
It's one of the safer laser options for deeper tones precisely because it works acoustically rather than thermally — less heat means less pigmentation risk. Settings still matter enormously, which is why your skin type is the first thing we calibrate for.
Does it hurt, and what's the aftercare?+
Most patients describe quick snaps, quite tolerable, with numbing available for tattoo work. Afterward: brief redness, occasionally light frosting on spots that fades within hours. Sun protection is the one non-negotiable while treated pigment clears.
How many sessions does tattoo removal take?+
Most tattoos require a series of 6–12 treatments spaced 6–8 weeks apart, depending on size, color, age, depth, and location. Sessions start at $200, and we'll give you an honest estimate for your specific tattoo at consultation — not the optimistic one.
