Tattoo Removal
Candela PicoWay
Advanced picosecond technology designed to target a wide range of ink colors with a skin-sparing approach and minimal downtime.
Why VGC Laser Studio?
The Candela PicoWay Laser is a leading technology in tattoo removal, known for its effectiveness in breaking down ink particles in tattoos, regardless of any color. This non-invasive procedure offers a safe and efficient way to eliminate unwanted tattoos with slight discomfort and downtime.
Multi-Wavelength Tattoo Targeting
The Candela PicoWay platform offers multiple wavelengths designed to address a wide range of tattoo ink colors. Different wavelengths can be selected based on ink color and depth—helping treat everything from black inks to stubborn blues/greens and warm tones.
Picosecond Speed & Efficiency
PicoWay delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses designed to break ink into smaller particles more efficiently than traditional nanosecond lasers. This can support faster clearance and fewer sessions over time, depending on ink, skin type, and tattoo age.
Comfort-Focused Treatment
Tattoo removal is intense—so comfort matters. PicoWay’s fast pulse delivery is designed to limit heat spread to surrounding tissue, and your provider can pair treatment with appropriate cooling strategies for a more comfortable experience.
Customized Settings Per Tattoo
Every tattoo is different. PicoWay allows your provider to adjust parameters like wavelength, spot size, and energy to match ink color, tattoo density, placement, and your skin type—so each session is tailored to you.
FDA-Cleared Tattoo Removal
PicoWay is FDA-cleared for tattoo removal, with indications that vary by wavelength (including specific tattoo colors and Fitzpatrick skin types). Your provider will recommend the safest plan based on your tattoo and skin tone.
More Than Tattoo Removal
In addition to tattoo removal, PicoWay is also used for select dermatologic concerns such as benign pigmented lesions and certain skin-rejuvenation treatments (provider-directed and candidacy dependent).
