Hi, Great question! Pico Way has four times the amount of energy (200mj for Pico Way and 50mj for Pico Sure) and better depth of penetration. We have had our Pico Way for a few years now and it is the gold standard for tattoo removal. Hope this helps!

Melasma needs a combination approach to get the best improvement and will need a series of treatments. In our practice, we combine Clear + Brilliant, peels, microneedling/PRP, Aerolase, and sometimes Erbium (Cool Laser) to get the best results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer
