Versatile Applications. Precision Power. Ultra-Short Pulse Durations.
Unlike older, outdated lasers, the PicoWay laser delivers high peak power and ultra-short pulses measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) for a photoacoustic effect that minimizes thermal damage to surrounding tissues.3 This innovative technology has established the PicoWay laser as a global favorite among aesthetic providers. Patients worldwide choose the PicoWay laser to enhance and maintain healthier, more youthful skin, thanks to its advanced capabilities and results.
Here is why you will love the PicoWay device:
As a leader in picosecond laser technology, Candela's PicoWay laser device represents the pinnacle of innovation, placing your practice at the forefront of the aesthetic industry.
The PicoWay advanced picosecond technology delivers precisely targeted laser energy in ultra-short pulses, giving patients the results they want with minimal downtime.
The PicoWay laser is the most versatile picosecond laser on the market and treats diverse aesthetic needs. This comprehensive and adaptable device enhances your clinic’s offerings, including laser tattoo removal and treatment of pigmented lesions such as melasma, lentigines, café au lait macules (CALMs), and Nevus of Ota. Elevate your practice with the PicoWay laser and expand your range of aesthetic solutions.
The PicoWay laser’s unique technology targets a wide range of tattoo ink colors, as well as benign pigmented lesions, with exceptional outcomes across diverse skin types and tones.
In addition to pigment removal, picosecond lasers stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin.17 These proteins help plump and revitalize the skin to improve texture and tone.
The exclusive PicoWay Resolve applicator promotes sub-surface remodeling without breaking the stratum corneum, transforming your patient’s skin from the inside out.1,3
Backed by extensive clinical studies, the PicoWay laser system is trusted by both practitioners and patients to exceed expectations and deliver reliable results. Its proven results offer consistent, high-quality outcomes for a range of aesthetic treatments.
The PicoWay laser features customizable settings, allowing practitioners to develop and execute treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique skin needs. This adaptability ensures personalized results for a variety of aesthetic concerns.
The global tattoo removal market size was USD 4.34 billion in 2021. It is estimated to reach USD 12.15 billion by 2030, representing a CAGR of 12.1% throughout the forecasted period of 2021-2030.15
The PicoWay laser device utilizes ultra-short pulses of laser energy to target and break down pigment particles in the skin.
The PicoWay laser generates pulses in significantly shorter intervals compared to traditional lasers, to deliver precise and targeted treatments.
Tattoo pigment particles embedded within the skin readily absorb the picosecond pulses, creating a photoacoustic effect that shatters them into smaller fragments. The body then absorbs and eliminates these ink or pigmentation fragments.
In treatment of acne scars and wrinkles, the PicoWay laser treats beneath the top layer of skin to create tiny vacuoles (empty spaces) within the skin, formed from a process called laser induced optical breakdown (LIOB’s). These controlled thermal injuries lead to new collagen and elastin formation to improve acne scars and wrinkles.

Treat melasma, Nevus of Ota, lentigines, and CALMS.1,14
The PicoWay laser is FDA-cleared for the treatment of melasma. Unlike other aesthetic laser-based devices that may not work on darker skin tones and carry a higher risk of side effects like burns or hypo- or hyperpigmentation, the PicoWay laser employs an innovative approach that allows practitioners to treat patients with nearly all Fitzpatrick skin types. By targeting pigmentation at its source, the PicoWay laser offers a solution for achieving clearer, more even-toned skin. This advanced technology addresses pigmentation issues, providing desired results for a radiant complexion.

The PicoWay Nd:YAG laser allows us to treat a broader range of skin types and a wide array of tattoo ink colors. With the ultra-short picosecond pulse duration, there is less discomfort during treatment and faster healing. Professional and multicolored tattoos are cleared in far fewer treatment sessions than with conventional Q-switched lasers.
Arielle N.B. Kauvar, MD
Director, New York Laser & Skin Care, USAIn my practice, we have treated more than 100 patients with the novel PicoWay dual wavelength picosecond laser. We have seen excellent results on standard tattoos with greater clearance, fewer treatments and less side effects than traditional nanosecond laser treatment. For tattoos that were previously unresponsive to nanosecond laser treatment and for green tattoos, treatments with the PicoWay are showing significant improvement. Additionally, there are dramatic results after even one session to treat yellow and red and cosmetic tattoos. With the choice of both the 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths, we are able to treat almost all colors of tattoos. There is also consistent and striking improvement of pigmented lesions with only one treatment. We recently began to use the novel PicoWay fractional hand-piece for skin rejuvenation, acne scars and wrinkles with improvement in skin tone, brightness and texture after one or two treatments. We are also treating traumatic scars with less discomfort and downtime compared to traditional fractional millisecond lasers.
