In Israel, tattoo removal and the treatment of pigmentation (melasma, age-related lentigines, post-acne marks, sun spots) are among the top 5 most in-demand aesthetic procedures. Patients want:
- maximum effectiveness
- fewer sessions
- minimal risk of scarring and hyperpigmentation
- the ability to treat all skin phototypes (especially relevant for types IV-VI)
That is why PicoWay by Candela Medical remains one of the most popular solutions in premium clinics in Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Haifa and Jerusalem.
Why a picosecond laser and not a nanosecond one? PicoWay works in the picosecond range (300-450 ps), which is 100-300 times shorter than most Q-Switched lasers. This gives three key advantages:
- Photomechanical effect (photoacoustic shock) Instead of heating, the pigment literally "shatters" into tiny particles. The body clears them faster -> fewer sessions are needed.
- Much lower risk of side effects Less heat -> lower chance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially important for darker or tanned skin common in Israel.
- Three wavelengths in one system
- 532 nm - yellow-orange and red pigments
- 785 nm - green, blue and difficult colours (the rarest and most valuable wavelength)
- 1064 nm - black, dark blue, virtually all deep pigments and tattoos
Thanks to 785 nm, PicoWay covers the challenging cases that other lasers handle poorly - or cannot handle at all.
Real-world results in practice (data from Israeli physicians and clinical studies)
- Complete removal of a professional black tattoo - on average 4-8 sessions (vs 10-15 on nanosecond lasers)
- Melasma and stubborn pigmentation - noticeable lightening after just 2-3 sessions
- Very low complication rates even on phototypes V-VI with proper settings
- The ability to treat year-round, even in summer (with adequate sun protection)
Who PicoWay is especially suitable for in Israel
- Patients with melasma (very common due to sun exposure and hormonal factors)
- People who want fast tattoo removal (wedding, new job, relocation)
- Clients with multicolour tattoos (especially green, light blue, turquoise)
- Patients with dark skin who are concerned about burns and hyperpigmentation
