Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Candela PicoWay laser work?
The PicoWay laser uses picosecond technology to deliver ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin. This energy breaks apart the ink particles in the tattoo, allowing the body's immune system to naturally eliminate them over time.
Is the procedure painful?
While pain tolerance varies among individuals, many describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. A topical anesthetic is applied before the treatment to enhance comfort. In addition, a cold air zimmer chillder is offered for optimal relief.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies depending on factors such as the size, age, and color of the tattoo, as well as your skin type. Typically, multiple sessions (often 4-8) are needed for optimal results.
Can colored tattoos be removed?
The PicoWay laser is effective for a variety of tattoos, including those with black, blue, green, and other colored inks. It can also treat both amateur and professional tattoos, and permanent makeup.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary changes in skin pigmentation. These usually resolve within a few days. Serious side effects are rare.
How long does each session take?
Each session typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Most patients can return to their regular activities shortly after the procedure, but some may experience redness and swelling for a few days. It's essential to follow post-care instructions for best results.
