How Picoway Restores Your Natural Look

Imagine the unwanted ink pigment under your skin is a collection of small pebbles. Older laser technologies used slow, intense heat to try and break these pebbles down, which was less effective and risked damaging the surrounding skin.

The Candela Picoway is revolutionary because it uses a photoacoustic effect, not just heat. It delivers ultra-fast energy pulses (measured in picoseconds) that act like a powerful soundwave. This shatters the ink “pebbles” into microscopic, dust-like particles.

Once shattered, these tiny particles are easily recognized and flushed out by your body’s natural immune system over the following weeks.

The Picoway Advantage: Why It’s the Gold Standard

When it comes to Orlando permanent makeup removal, technology makes a difference. Here’s why Picoway surpasses older Q-switched lasers:

• Unmatched Precision & Safety
  Its picosecond pulses minimize heat transfer, protecting the surrounding tissue and delicate hair follicles in the brow area. This means a significantly lower risk of scarring or textural changes.
• Effective on Stubborn Colors
  With three different wavelengths (1064nm, 785nm, 532nm), Picoway can effectively target the entire spectrum of PMU ink, including stubborn reds, yellows, and oranges that older lasers leave behind.
• Fewer Treatments Needed
  By shattering ink into much smaller particles, the Picoway allows your body to clear the pigment more efficiently. This often means you can achieve your final results in fewer sessions.
• Comfortable for All Skin Types:
  The Picoway is a safe and effective option for a wide range of skin types, a crucial factor here in sunny Orlando.

Our Commitment to Safety: Protecting Your Eyes During Eyeliner Removal

Treating the delicate area around the eyes demands the highest level of medical care. Your safety and vision are our absolute priority. When performing laser removal of permanent eyeliner, we adhere to a strict, medically-proven safety protocol.

1. Anesthetic Eye Drops: First, we administer a topical anesthetic eye drop. This numbs the surface of your eye (the cornea and conjunctiva) completely, ensuring the process is comfortable and pain-free.
2. Intraocular Shielding: Once the eye is numb, we gently insert a specialized, sterile, stainless steel ocular shield. This small shield fits comfortably under your eyelids, resting directly on the eyeball much like a large contact lens.
3. Complete Protection: This metal shield acts as an impenetrable barrier, completely blocking any laser energy from reaching the cornea, lens, or retina. This is the gold standard and the only medically-accepted method for guaranteeing the safety of your eye during treatment. External goggles are not sufficient for this procedure.

This meticulous protocol allows our highly trained medical technicians to remove eyeliner pigment with precision and confidence, knowing your eyes are 100% protected.

The Ideal Season for Permanent Makeup Removal in Orlando is Now

Here in Florida, the sun is a major consideration for any skin treatment. Fall and winter are the absolute best times to begin your laser removal journey, but we can treat safely year round.

Treated skin is highly sensitive to UV rays, and avoiding the sun is essential for proper healing and preventing complications like hyperpigmentation. Starting your sessions now allows you to heal safely and be ready for next spring and summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does permanent makeup removal hurt? Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap, like a rubber band on the skin. The procedure is very fast (usually under 15 minutes). For eyeliner removal, the eye itself feels nothing due to the anesthetic drops. For all treatments, we use a skin-chilling device to ensure you are as comfortable as possible.

2. Will the laser remove my eyebrow hair? No. The Picoway laser is specifically designed to target pigment in the ink, not the melanin in your hair follicles. In most cases, your eyebrow hair is left completely intact. You may see some temporary “frosting” on the hairs, which flakes off within a few days.

3. How many sessions will I need? This depends on the ink’s color, depth, and saturation. On average, most clients require 2 to 6 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart. This waiting period is crucial to allow your body time to flush out the shattered ink particles.

4. What is the downtime? You can expect temporary redness, swelling, and a whitening or “frosting” of the area, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. You can resume most normal activities immediately, though you’ll need to follow specific aftercare instructions, especially regarding sun protection.
