Or if you are tired of living with skin pigmentation issues, scars or wrinkles, you now have a safe and workable option treat and resolve a range of unsightly skin flaws.
How does the PicoWay Laser Work?
PicoWay laser works by using specific wavelengths to target various pigments in your skin, allowing very precise areas of your skin to be treated without damaging the surrounding skin and tissue. Using short picosecond (which is one trillionth of a second) pulses of laser energy to destroy the skin with the unwanted pigment, so that it will be removed by your body as the skin heals, after which new skin with more uniform pigmentation forms.
Typically, multiple treatments are needed to gradually reduce the amount of pigmentation in the skin, but you will notice the tattoo, scar, or pigmentation fading with every treatment.
What Should I Expect During the Procedure?
The treatment sessions are typically quite brief, lasting around fifteen to twenty minutes. A small handpiece is used that delivers the laser treatment to the pigmented area, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. For tattoo removal, a topical anesthetic may be applied.
Depending on the treatment you are receiving, there may be minor discomfort. If it is needed, a topical anesthetic can be applied for greater comfort during the treatment. Often for tattoo removal there is slightly more discomfort experienced than treatment to smooth wrinkles or acne scars.
Which Areas can I Have Treated?
Many areas all over the body can be treated, even areas of delicate skin such as:
- Face
- Cheeks
- Nose
- Jawline
- Chin
- Forehead

Aftercare for PicoWay Laser Treatments
While PicoWay offers minimal downtime due to its precise picosecond technology, proper post-treatment care helps support healing and enhance your results. You may experience light redness, swelling, or sensitivity—typically resolving within hours to a few days.
General Recovery Guidelines
- Hydrate & Moisturize: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe and maintain skin hydration.
- UV Protection is Key: Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily—your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure.
- Gentle Cleansing Only: Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleansers and avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or harsh active ingredients for several days post-treatment.
- Hands Off: Avoid touching or picking at treated areas to prevent irritation or pigmentation issues.
Advanced Aftercare: Rejuran Skin Booster (Polynucleotide / Salmon DNA)
To elevate your recovery and rejuvenation process, consider adding Rejuran Skin Booster—a breakthrough adjunct composed of polynucleotides (PN) derived from salmon DNA. When applied following PicoWay treatment, Rejuran penetrates via laser-created microchannels to stimulate healing at the cellular level.
Key Benefits of Rejuran After PicoWay:
- Boosts Regeneration: Encourages collagen and elastin production for improved tone and texture.
- Calms & Heals: Reduces inflammation, supports skin barrier restoration, and promotes gentle recovery.
- Hydration & Elasticity: Enhances moisture retention and overall skin resilience.
- Cellular Repair Power: Supports DNA repair and long-term skin health.
Why it Works So Well: The micro-injuries created during PicoWay allow Rejuran’s PN to penetrate more deeply, amplifying its regenerative and reparative effects compared to standalone application.
Personalized Aftercare Planning
Every skin is unique—our team will create a customized aftercare plan tailored to your skin type and goals. Be sure to ask about combining Rejuran Skin Booster with your PicoWay session to unlock faster healing and longer-lasting, radiant results.
Is There Any Recovery Time?
There may be some redness or swelling that will subside within a few hours or days after your Inland Empire laser tattoo removal treatment but otherwise you will not expect to have any downtime.
