PicoWay
in Los Angeles
Advanced Pico Laser for Pigmentation, Skin Rejuvenation & Tattoo Removal | WooYoo Medical Aesthetics
PicoWay is an advanced picosecond laser treatment in Los Angeles designed to improve pigmentation, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and unwanted tattoos.
Using ultra-short picosecond pulses, PicoWay breaks down pigment particles into tiny fragments that are naturally eliminated by the body. This technology allows for effective treatment with minimal damage to surrounding skin.
What Does PicoWay Treat?
PicoWay can treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:
• Sun spots (sun damage)
• Age spots
• Freckles
• Melasma
• Uneven skin tone
• Acne scars
• Tattoo removal
• Overall skin rejuvenation
How PicoWay Works
PicoWay uses picosecond laser pulses, extremely short bursts of energy delivered in trillionths of a second. These ultra-fast pulses create a photoacoustic effect, breaking pigment particles into tiny fragments without generating excessive heat in the surrounding skin.
One advantage of the PicoWay system is that it offers multiple specialized handpieces, allowing providers to customize treatments depending on the skin concern being treated. Different handpieces can target pigmentation, tattoo ink, acne scars, or overall skin rejuvenation, making PicoWay a versatile laser platform.
Because of this advanced technology, PicoWay treatments are known for:
• Precise targeting of pigment and tattoo ink
• Reduced heat damage to surrounding skin
• Ability to treat multiple skin concerns with different handpieces
• Faster recovery compared with many traditional lasers
Over time, the body naturally clears the fragmented pigment, revealing brighter, clearer, and more even-toned skin.
PicoWay for Pigmentation & Skin Brightening
PicoWay Toning is commonly used for pigmentation and overall skin brightening.
This treatment helps improve:
• Sun spots
• Freckles
• Uneven skin tone
• Melasma
• Dull skin
The laser energy gently breaks down excess pigment while stimulating mild skin rejuvenation, helping patients achieve clearer and brighter skin with minimal downtime.
PicoWay is also widely used for tattoo removal.
Using ultra-short picosecond pulses, the laser breaks tattoo ink into very small particles that the body can gradually remove
PicoWay can treat:
• Black ink tattoos
• Colored tattoos
• Older or stubborn tattoos
Multiple sessions are typically required depending on the size, depth, and color of the tattoo.

Is PicoWay treatment painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during treatment.
The sensation is often described as small snaps on the skin.
Is there downtime after PicoWay?
PicoWay treatments typically involve minimal downtime. Mild redness or swelling may occur temporarily but usually resolves within a few days.
How many PicoWay treatments are needed?
The number of sessions depends on the skin concern being treated. In general, pigmentation or acne scar treatments are often recommended as a series of about 5 sessions to achieve gradual improvement. For tattoo removal, around 10 sessions may be needed depending on the size, ink color, and depth of the tattoo. A personalized treatment plan will be recommended during consultation.
What is the difference between PicoWay and PicoSure?
Both PicoWay and PicoSure are picosecond lasers used for pigmentation, tattoo removal, and skin rejuvenation, but they use different laser technologies.
PicoWay uses a shorter picosecond pulse duration and multiple specialized handpieces, allowing providers to treat a wider range of skin concerns including pigmentation, tattoo removal, and fractional skin rejuvenation.
Because PicoWay delivers energy in extremely short pulses with less heat, it is often associated with more precise pigment targeting, reduced thermal damage, and faster recovery for many patients.
What should I avoid after PicoWay treatment?
After PicoWay treatment, proper aftercare is important for optimal healing and results.
Patients are typically advised to:
• Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly
• Avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinol, tretinoin, and strong vitamin-based exfoliating products for several days
• Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching it with unwashed hands
• Avoid excessive heat, saunas, or intense workouts immediately after treatment
Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions based on your treatment type.
