Technology Evolution

Why Picosecond Matters

1990s: Q-Switch Nanosecond

Nanosecond lasers (billionths of a second) were photothermal—using heat to shatter ink. More skin interaction, more downtime.

2012: Early Picosecond

New picosecond lasers emerged but many still operated above 500 picoseconds—technically still photothermal.

Today: Candela PicoWay

The only laser where every wavelength fires under 500 picoseconds—as low as 250. True photoacoustic technology.

Photothermal vs Photoacoustic

Photothermal (Heat)

Uses heat to break down ink. More interaction with surrounding tissue. Requires downtime.

Photoacoustic (Sound)

Uses sound waves to shatter ink. Minimal tissue interaction. No downtime required.

The Threshold: When a laser fires at less than 500 picoseconds, it becomes photoacoustic. The PicoWay is the only laser where every wavelength meets this standard.

What This Means For You

PicoWay Advantages

7x

More Effective

7x more effective ink shattering at the same energy levels as nanosecond lasers.

No Downtime

Photoacoustic technology means minimal skin impact and no recovery time needed.

Safer Treatment

Less interaction with surrounding tissue minimizes risk of unwanted side effects.

All Colors

Three wavelengths to target and remove all ink colors on all skin types.

Triple Wavelength

Remove All Colors

Different ink colors absorb different wavelengths of light. The PicoWay's three wavelengths ensure we can effectively target every color in your tattoo.

1064nm Wavelength

Black, dark blue, dark green inks

532nm Wavelength

Red, orange, yellow inks

785nm Wavelength

Blue, green, purple inks
