Is Picoway better than Revlite?

Question

I would like to know is Picoway better than Revlite for tattoo removal? Also does Picoway work on Nevus Of Ota and skin rejuvenation.

Chad M. Hivnor, MD · Answer

The picoway is a picosecond pulse duration versus a nanosecond pulse duration.I have used them both and without a doubt I have had much more success resolving tattoos quicker but completely where there is no shadow or residual pigmentation.My experience is that it takes ½ the treatments which means ½ the time to resolution.

Yes Picoway is great at tattoo removal.  It uses pico technology to remove tattoos faster and better with less scarring and less pain than Q switch technology.  The Picoway laser  can also be used for Nevus of ota and works great at removing any skin discolorations.

Evan Sorokin, MD · Answer

Pico way uses picosecond technology to remove tattoos.  The Revlite is an awesome laser but uses a longer time pulse to deliver the energy and for most people the Revlite will require more treatments.  Picosecond lasers are believed to reduce the number of treatments needed for tattoo removal because the energy is delivered in a tiny amount of time and create a photomechanical rather than a photo thermal destruction of ink.  I Picosure has an approved FDA indication for facial rejuvenation, I am not sure if the Picoway does sorry I cannot be more help on that part of the question.
