The technology

What makes the PicoWay different

About one in seven American adults with a tattoo says they regret it. Two minutes on what picosecond technology actually does to ink — and why it beats the older lasers.

  • Pulses measured in picosecondsA picosecond is one trillionth of a second. That ultra-fast burst shatters ink into tiny granules instead of just breaking it apart.
  • Fewer sessions, more ink coloursFDA-cleared across a wide range of tattoo types and ink colours, so most people need fewer treatments than older lasers demand.
  • Kinder to darker skin tonesBecause so little heat transfers into the skin, the PicoWay is a safer fit for a much wider range of skin types.
  • Minimal discomfortThe pulses are so fast that most people feel very little. A numbing agent is available before treatment if you'd like it.
