What is Candela PicoWay Tattoo Removal?
The Candela PicoWay laser is a cutting-edge tattoo removal technology that has become the gold standard in the industry. Unlike traditional laser removal, which uses heat to break down ink particles, the PicoWay Tattoo Removal works by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy (in picoseconds) to break the ink into tiny particles. These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body. The beauty of the Picoway Tattoo Removal is its precision and ability to target various ink colors without harming the surrounding skin.

Can PicoWay Remove All Colors of Tattoos?
The short answer is yes! One of the biggest advantages of the Candela Tattoo Removal system is its ability to effectively target and remove a wide range of tattoo colors—something that many older laser systems struggle with.

While traditional tattoo removal lasers have a more limited spectrum, the PicoWay laser is specially designed to break down pigments of all kinds, from dark blacks to more challenging shades like blues, greens, and even some of the stubborn reds. This is because the PicoWay uses multiple wavelengths, each tailored to target specific colors:

532 nm: Best for red, orange, and yellow pigments.
785 nm: Targets blue, green, and black pigments.
1064 nm: Effective for darker colors and some stubborn inks.
So, whether your tattoo is in vibrant shades of purple, bold black, or even pastel pinks, PicoWay can effectively break it down into smaller, easily digestible particles, making it one of the most versatile tattoo removal lasers on the market.

How many sessions for tattoo removal with PicoWay?

The number of sessions needed for successful tattoo removal depends on a variety of factors, including:
Tattoo size
Tattoo color(s)
Ink depth
Skin type
Location on the body
On average, most tattoos require between 4 to 10 sessions, spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. However, lighter tattoos or those with less saturated colors may require fewer sessions, while large, multi-colored tattoos may take a bit longer to fade completely.
