Physician-Guided Picosecond Laser Care for Skin, Pigment & Tattoo Concerns

If you are searching for PicoWay laser treatment in Irvine or Orange County, it’s important to understand that PicoWay is not a cosmetic add-on or interchangeable laser session. PicoWay is a medical-grade picosecond laser system used in dermatology when precision, skin-type judgment, and physician oversight are required.

At The Pur Health, PicoWay laser care begins with medical evaluation and treatment planning, not a device menu. The technology is powerful, but outcomes depend on correct diagnosis, proper settings, and knowing when PicoWay is — and is not — the right option.

What Is the PicoWay Picosecond Laser?

The PicoWay laser is a picosecond laser system that delivers ultra-short pulses of energy measured in trillionths of a second (picoseconds). Picosecond lasers represent the next generation beyond older Q-switched nanosecond lasers, delivering pulse durations at least ten times shorter than their predecessors.¹²

Because the energy is delivered so quickly, PicoWay produces primarily photomechanical effects rather than excessive heat. This allows targeted disruption of pigment or tattoo ink with less thermal damage to surrounding tissue, reducing unwanted collateral skin injury when used appropriately.¹

PicoWay technology has been commercially available since the early 2010s, following decades of experimental picosecond laser research reported in dermatologic literature.¹
