Laser Tattoo Removal in Newport Beach, CA
PicoWay® Laser Tattoo Removal
As the popularity of tattoos continues to grow, so does the number of people seeking removal or
fading of unwanted tattoos. Whether due to a change in personal preference, professional
considerations, or dissatisfaction with past ink, tattoo regret is common. At New Look Skin
Center in Newport Beach, we provide advanced PicoWay® laser tattoo removal, a highly
effective, safe, and minimally invasive procedure designed to remove multicolor tattoos and
pigmented lesions with minimal discomfort.
PicoWay® by Candela is among the most sophisticated tattoo removal systems on the market,
employing ultra-fast laser pulses to shatter ink particles without harming the surrounding tissue.
This enables quicker fading, fewer sessions, and improved results than with conventional laser
removal techniques.
How PicoWay® Laser Tattoo Removal Works
PicoWay® is a picosecond laser technology that delivers intense bursts of energy in trillionths of
a second, shattering tattoo ink into tiny fragments that the body can naturally eliminate. Unlike
traditional lasers, PicoWay® uses multiple wavelengths to target a wide range of ink colors,
including stubborn blues, greens, and reds.
Because the laser pulses are so short, they create less heat and less damage to surrounding
skin, making the process safer, more comfortable, and effective for all skin types. Most tattoos
require multiple sessions, with gradual fading occurring between treatments as the body clears
away fragmented ink particles.

Before & After
FAQ
How does PicoWay® remove tattoos?
Tattoo ink is broken up into tiny particles by PicoWay®’s ultra-short laser pulses, which the body’s immune system then naturally gets rid of. This cutting-edge technology is safer and more effective than conventional lasers because it enables greater ink fragmentation with less skin injury. The tattoo gradually fades with several treatments until it is either entirely erased or considerably diminished.
Is PicoWay® laser tattoo removal painful?
Patients may feel a mild stinging or snapping sensation, similar to the feeling of a rubber band
snapping against the skin. However, the ultra-fast pulses reduce discomfort compared to older
laser systems. Numbing cream can be applied before treatment to enhance comfort.
How many PicoWay® sessions are needed for complete tattoo removal?
The number of sessions varies based on tattoo size, color, depth, and skin type. Most tattoos
require 5-10 treatments, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, to allow the body time to clear the fragmented
ink. Some lighter or older tattoos may require fewer sessions for optimal fading.
Does PicoWay® laser tattoo removal work on all ink colors?
PicoWay® is effective on multicolor tattoos, including stubborn shades like green, blue, and red.
Traditional lasers struggle with these colors, but PicoWay®’s multi-wavelength technology
allows for better ink targeting and faster removal. Black and dark ink tend to fade the fastest,
while lighter colors may require additional treatments.
What should I expect after a PicoWay® tattoo removal session?
After treatment, the skin may appear red, swollen, or slightly blistered, which is normal and
temporary. Patients should avoid sun exposure, keep the area clean, and follow aftercare
instructions to support healing. Over time, the tattoo will gradually fade as the body processes
and eliminates the broken-down ink particles.
Can PicoWay® lighten a tattoo for a cover-up?
PicoWay® is an excellent option for lightening tattoos before a cover-up, making it easier for
tattoo artists to apply new ink over a faded design. Even several sessions can help diminish the
appearance of old tattoos, enabling greater camouflage and brighter new designs. This is often
preferred by many patients for better tattoo redesign options.
