This treatment delivers ultra-short bursts of energy that break down pigment while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Each session is carefully tailored to your skin type and goals, creating gradual, natural-looking improvement. Schedule your consultation with SOMA to explore a personalized PicoWay treatment plan.

What Is PicoWay?

PicoWay is an FDA-cleared laser that uses picosecond technology, delivering energy in trillionths of a second. This ultra-fast delivery allows the laser to break down pigment into tiny particles that the body can naturally eliminate.

Unlike traditional lasers, PicoWay relies more on a photoacoustic effect rather than heat, making it a more precise and controlled treatment. At SOMA, it is used for both pigmentation correction and tattoo removal.

PicoWay Recovery

Recovery after PicoWay treatment is minimal, especially when compared to more aggressive laser procedures. In the initial phase, mild redness or slight swelling may occur in the treated area. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a few days. For tattoo removal, the treated area may darken or scab slightly as the body processes the ink particles.

Gradual Results

Results develop over a series of treatments as pigment is gradually broken down and removed by the body. SOMA emphasizes consistency and follow-up care to ensure optimal results.
