Our Technology

    PICOWAY®PICOSECONDLASER

    We use the FDA-approved PicoWay® system by Candela—the gold standard in laser tattoo removal with the shortest pulse duration available.

    Why Picosecond Technology?

    Picosecond Precision

    Ultra-short 300-450 picosecond pulses—that's one trillionth of a second—shatter ink particles with photoacoustic energy rather than heat.

    Higher Peak Power

    Maximum energy delivered in the shortest time means more effective ink fragmentation with lower overall energy to your skin.

    Fewer Sessions

    Clinical studies show faster clearance rates, meaning you reach your goal in fewer visits compared to older laser technologies.

    Reduced Side Effects

    Less thermal damage means minimal risk of scarring, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation—even on darker skin tones.

    All Ink Colours

    Four wavelengths (532nm, 730nm, 785nm, 1064nm) effectively target black, blue, green, red, yellow, and even stubborn colours.

    The Science: Photoacoustic vs Photothermal

    PicoWay's ultra-short pulses create a photoacoustic effect—ink particles are shattered by pressure waves rather than burned by heat. This ATPI (Acoustic to Thermal Pressure Index) greater than 1 means more effective ink breakdown with significantly less thermal damage to surrounding tissue. The result? Faster results, safer treatment, and better outcomes for all skin types.
