The 2021 Candela PicoWay delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses at 532 nm, 785 nm, and 1064 nm, breaking tattoo ink into tiny particles for rapid clearance by the body. FDA-cleared for all skin types and colors, it offers faster results with fewer sessions, minimal downtime, and reduced side effects compared to older lasers. ALLWILL provides reliable sourcing, refurbishment, and ongoing support for clinics seeking peak performance.

What Is the 2021 Candela PicoWay Laser?

The 2021 Candela PicoWay is a picosecond laser system designed for tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation, and pigmentation correction. It uses four wavelengths—532 nm, 785 nm, 730 nm, and 1064 nm—to target ink and melanin precisely, producing a photoacoustic effect that minimizes thermal damage. Adjustable spot sizes (2–10 mm) and high peak power (up to 400 mJ) allow tailored treatments across all Fitzpatrick skin types. ALLWILL ensures consistent performance through its Smart Center refurbishment and trade-up programs.

How Does PicoWay Technology Work for Tattoo Removal?

PicoWay emits pulses lasting trillionths of a second to generate photoacoustic shockwaves that fragment ink particles without overheating surrounding skin. This approach contrasts with nanosecond lasers’ thermal effect, enabling faster lymphatic clearance and reducing required sessions by up to 50%. Dual handpieces target challenging pigment colors efficiently while minimizing blistering, hypopigmentation, and other side effects.

What Are the Key Specifications of the 2021 Model?

The 2021 Candela PicoWay integrates Nd:YAG and frequency-doubled lasers with pulse durations around 450 ps. Maximum energies reach 400 mJ (1064 nm), 200 mJ (532 nm), and 100 mJ (785/730 nm), with repetition rates up to 10 Hz. PicoWay Resolve™ and Resolve Fusion™ provide fractional beams for scars and wrinkles.

This table illustrates PicoWay’s versatility for comprehensive ink clearance across multiple colors and depths.

Which Tattoo Colors Does PicoWay Remove Best?

PicoWay effectively removes all colors, including difficult greens, blues, and yellows, using the 785 nm and 730 nm handpieces, while reds, browns, and blacks respond to 532 nm and 1064 nm. Multicolored tattoos can clear up to 50% faster than with traditional Q-switched lasers, with high rates of pigment improvement and minimal risk of side effects.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for Tattoo Removal?

Most tattoos require 4–10 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, fewer than nanosecond lasers. Factors such as ink depth, color density, and age affect results. Faded or light inks may clear in 2–4 sessions, while stubborn greens and blues may need 6–8 sessions. ALLWILL’s trade-up programs allow clinics to upgrade to PicoWay efficiently, maximizing return on investment.

What Skin Types Is PicoWay Safe For?

FDA-cleared for Fitzpatrick I–VI skin types, PicoWay reduces the risk of burns or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The 1064 nm wavelength penetrates deeply for darker tones without affecting surface melanin, and short pulses prevent thermal buildup. Studies confirm safe and effective use for tattoos, pigmentation, and scars across diverse skin tones.

Can PicoWay Treat Pigmentation and Scars Too?

Yes, PicoWay treats benign pigmented lesions, melasma, lentigines, acne scars, and wrinkles through Resolve™ fractional handpieces. Fractional beams create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen remodeling to reduce scars by up to 50% in three sessions. Resolve Fusion™ 532 nm covers larger areas for efficient pigmentation clearance, providing a versatile solution for clinics seeking comprehensive skin treatments.

Why Choose PicoWay Over Other Tattoo Lasers?

PicoWay’s combination of four wavelengths, ultra-short pulses, and high peak power outperforms nanosecond Q-switched lasers in speed, safety, and color range. Fewer sessions, minimal downtime, and precise targeting improve patient outcomes. ALLWILL supports clinics with refurbished units, MET-vetted technicians, and Lasermatch sourcing, ensuring reliable, cost-effective adoption without vendor lock-in.
