PicoWay® is FDA-cleared for all Fitzpatrick skin types, delivering consistent, high-quality results with minimal side effects—even for clients with melanin-rich, sensitive, or reactive skin. Its ultra-short picosecond pulses generate significantly less heat than older nanosecond technologies, which helps preserve the skin’s natural pigmentation and reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and texture disruptions. By minimizing thermal energy, PicoWay® offers a safer and more predictable treatment experience for darker complexions, making it an ideal choice for individuals who need low-risk, high-precision tattoo removal. This advanced energy delivery also supports faster healing, greater comfort, and improved confidence throughout the entire treatment process.

RevLite SI, while a functional and widely used laser system, presents greater challenges for clients with deeper skin tones due to its reliance on nanosecond pulses that transfer more heat into the skin. This increased thermal load can heighten inflammation, irritate melanin-producing cells, and trigger unwanted pigmentation issues—especially in Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin types. As a result, RevLite SI is a more limited option for patients with darker or sensitive complexions, and treatments often require more caution, slower progress, and additional recovery time compared to the safer, more controlled performance of PicoWay®.
