PicoWay
Also known as: PicoWay
Korean name: 피코웨이
Who it's for
Tattoo removal (all skin types), benign pigmented lesions (Fitzpatrick I~IV)
Effect
Aims to lighten pigments and tattoos, with individual variations. The manufacturer explains that the corresponding colors for each wavelength differ (red/yellow/orange at 532nm, green/blue at 785nm, black/brown/green/blue/purple at 1064nm).
Procedure time
Approximately 5 to 15 minutes (based on pigment/lesion area). Tattoo removal varies significantly by size and is generally around 10 minutes (individual device confirmation not possible).
Anesthesia
None to topical — Low-power pigment treatments are often performed without anesthesia, while hospitals may choose topical anesthesia for more painful procedures like tattoo removal (general standard for laser treatments, individual device confirmation not possible).
Recommended stay in Korea
1 to 2 days (general standard, hospital confirmation needed). Actual schedule should be confirmed during hospital consultation.
Alternative procedures
PicoSure, Enlighten — The number of wavelengths (PicoWay has the most in the industry with 4 wavelengths) is a key difference.
