Tattoo Removal: A Clean Slate for Every Color and Skin Tone
Tattoo regret is a common experience, but living with unwanted ink is no longer your only option. At Vitality Medical Aesthetics, we provide the most advanced laser tattoo removal experience, ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficacy. The PicoWay laser is the gold standard for removing tattoos, offering faster and more complete clearance than older technologies.
- Effective on the Full Color Spectrum: Traditional lasers struggle with certain colors, buy PicoWay’s many wavelengths give it the unique ability to effectively target an entire spectrum of ink colors, including notoriously difficult blues and greens, as well as vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows.
- All Tattoos & Skin Tones: Whether your tattoo was applied by a professional or an amateur, PicoWay can effectively remove it. It is also an excellent solution for removing unwanted permanent makeup, such as microbladed eyebrows. Its advanced technology is FDA-cleared as safe for all skin types.
- Fewer, Faster Sessions: The immense power and speed of the PicoWay laser allow it to break ink into much smaller particles than older Q-switched lasers. This allows your body to clear the ink more efficiently, achieving results more comfortably and with fewer sessions.
- Perfect for Cover-Ups: If your goal isn’t complete removal, PicoWay is able to quickly fade an existing tattoo to create a clean canvas for a new piece of art.
Pigmentation & Melasma Correction: Unveil a Clear, Even Complexion
Living in the Sunshine State means our skin is constantly exposed to factors that cause hyperpigmentation. PicoWay laser is a premier medical treatment for a variety of pigmentation concerns, delivering clarity and restoring an even, luminous skin tone.
- FDA-Cleared for Your Toughest Concerns: The PicoWay laser is not just a cosmetic device; it is an FDA-cleared medical laser for treating benign pigmented lesions and, importantly, melasma. This clearance speaks to its proven safety and effectiveness. We successfully treat a range of conditions including:
- Sun Spots (Solar Lentigines)
- Age Spots & Liver Spots
- Freckles
- Melasma (hormonal or sun-induced dark patches)
- Café-au-Lait Macules
- Nevus of Ota
- The Safe Solution for Melasma: Melasma is a notoriously difficult condition to treat because it can be worsened by heat. Traditional lasers that generate significant thermal energy can often trigger or exacerbate the condition. The PicoWay laser’s primary mechanism is photoacoustic, not photothermal. It uses ultra-short pulses of energy to create a pressure wave that shatters pigment without generating excessive, dangerous heat. This makes it one of the safest and most effective laser treatments available for melasma.
Skin Rejuvenation: Smooth Wrinkles, Refine Texture, and Restore Radiance
The same technology that shatters pigment can also be harnessed to turn back the clock on aging skin. Using the specialized PicoWay Resolve™ and Resolve Fusion™ handpieces, we can deliver fractionated laser energy deep into the skin, triggering a powerful regenerative response.
- Collagen Stimulation from Within: The laser creates tiny, open spaces deep within the dermis while leaving the outer layer of skin completely intact. Your body’s natural healing response rushes to fill these spaces with new, healthy collagen and elastin—the essential building blocks of smooth, firm, youthful skin.
- Clinically Proven Results: The PicoWay system has been clinically studied and has demonstrated remarkable results. In studies, patients showed significant improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, with a very high rate of patient satisfaction.
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation: Beyond wrinkles, this treatment is highly effective for improving overall skin quality. It can visibly reduce the size of enlarged pores, smooth textural irregularities, and give your skin a vibrant, healthy glow that looks and feels completely natural.
Acne Scar Reduction: Reclaim Smooth Skin with Confidence
The lingering marks left behind by acne, both in color and texture, can be a source of frustration long after breakouts have subsided. The PicoWay laser offers a dual-action solution to effectively reduce acne scars and restore a smooth, clear complexion.
- Treats Both Color and Texture: PicoWay is highly effective at targeting the brown or red pigmented marks left by acne (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). In addition, the collagen-stimulating power of the PicoWay Resolve handpiece helps to remodel and fill in textural scars, including atrophic, rolling, and boxcar scars, by rebuilding the skin’s underlying support structure.
- Transforming Skin from the Inside Out: The concept behind this treatment is simple yet powerful: it works beneath the surface to rebuild what has been lost. By stimulating new collagen, the PicoWay laser helps to lift and smooth depressed scars from the inside out, leading to a visible improvement in skin texture with each session.
- Efficient and Effective: Patients can achieve a significant reduction in the appearance of their acne scars with a series of quick, targeted treatments that require minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing procedures.
The Science of Picosecond Technology: How PicoWay® Gently Delivers Powerful Results
The secret to the PicoWay laser’s remarkable combination of power and safety lies in its revolutionary technology. It works differently from any laser that has come before it, allowing for transformative results without the harsh side effects and long recovery times of traditional methods.
- Unprecedented Speed: The “Pico” in PicoWay refers to a picosecond, which is one trillionth of a second. The laser delivers energy in these ultra-short pulses, which is hundreds of times faster than older nanosecond lasers. This incredible speed is the key to its unique mechanism of action.
- The Photoacoustic “Shatter” Effect: Instead of using intense heat to slowly melt away pigment (a photothermal effect), the PicoWay laser’s rapid pulses create an intense photoacoustic effect—a powerful pressure wave. This wave of energy travels through the skin and shatters the target pigment or tattoo ink into microscopic particles. This is a crucial distinction, as it avoids generating the excessive heat that can damage surrounding skin tissue, cause scarring, and lead to prolonged downtime.
- Your Body’s Natural Clearance: Once the pigment or ink has been shattered into these tiny, dust-like particles, your body’s own immune system can easily identify them as waste. Over the weeks following your treatment, the lymphatic system naturally flushes these particles away, causing the tattoo or dark spot to progressively fade until it is no longer visible.
