Since 2019, we've treated over 16,000 tattoos for patients who started their removal journeys. We've had the opportunity to use multiple different devices before having acquired the Candela PicoWay when it launched. To use the term "Gold Standard" almost feels like an understatement.

Experience the next evolution in pigment clearance with Candela PicoWay, widely recognized as the global gold standard for tattoo removal. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat (photothermal energy) to shatter ink, PicoWay utilizes a revolutionary photoacoustic effect. This ultra-short pulse technology delivers massive peak power in picoseconds (that's billionths of a second) shattering tattoo pigment into microscopic dust particles without generating damaging thermal shockwaves.

Why This Matters for You:

• Rapid Clearance: The photoacoustic energy breaks down stubborn ink colors (including blues, greens, and professional-grade pigments) more efficiently than older laser systems, often requiring fewer total sessions.

• Enhanced Safety & Comfort: Because the skin does not overheat during treatment, PicoWay significantly reduces the risk of scarring, blistering, or hypopigmentation (white spots), making it safe for a wider range of skin tones. We've seen our side effects plummet. Within the first year of using our device, we saw a staggering 97% drop in post-treatment blistering and swelling.

• Minimal Downtime: Forget weeks of recovery. Most patients experience only mild redness and swelling that subsides quickly. You can typically resume your normal daily activities—and even apply makeup—within 24 hours.

Whether you are looking to remove old regret, cover up a design, or treat acne scars and fine wrinkles, the our expert providers combined with PicoWay system at Oregon Medical & Laser offers a precise, effective path to clear skin with the lowest possible downtime in the industry.
