Transform Your Skin with the Candela PicoWay® Laser
From pigmentation and melasma to acne scars, anti-aging, tattoo removal, and more — at KP Dermatology, Dr. Prratyush More is proud to bring you the Candela PicoWay® — a groundbreaking, FDA-cleared picosecond laser that delivers transformative results for pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and unwanted tattoos, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
What Is the Candela PicoWay® Laser?
The PicoWay® system is an FDA-cleared, cutting-edge laser technology designed to work from the inside out. Unlike traditional lasers that rely heavily on heat (a photothermal effect) to treat the skin, PicoWay® uses ultra-short picosecond pulses — measuring one-trillionth of a second.
These rapid pulses create a “photoacoustic” effect that physically shatters targeted pigment and ink into microscopic particles, which your body then naturally and safely flushes away — without the burning heat of older laser systems.
The PicoWay® Advantage
Because it generates far less heat than older lasers, the PicoWay® system leaves surrounding healthy tissue untouched. This makes it safer, more comfortable, and highly effective for a wider variety of skin types — including darker skin tones that are more prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation with conventional lasers.
What We Treat with PicoWay®
Explore our 8 dedicated Candela PicoWay® treatments below — each customised by Dr. Prratyush More to your specific skin concern.
Advanced Pigmentation Laser Treatment
Effectively diminishes freckles, age spots, liver spots, and café-au-lait birthmarks for a more even complexion.
Melasma Laser Treatment
A gentle, effective approach to managing stubborn, hormonally-triggered pigmentation — without the intense heat that can trigger melasma flare-ups.
Acne Scar & Skin Texture Laser Treatment
Uses the specialised Resolve handpiece to create microscopic injuries beneath the skin’s surface, stimulating natural collagen and elastin to smooth scars and textural irregularities.
Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Reduction Laser Treatment
Rejuvenates the skin by building new collagen, giving you a firmer, more youthful appearance over time.
Pico-Hollywood Carbon Laser Peel
The “Red Carpet Facial” — deep-cleanses pores, controls oil, and delivers an instant radiant glow with zero downtime.
Tattoo Removal Laser Treatment
Shatters ink across a wide spectrum of colours — including notoriously stubborn blues and greens — often clearing skin in fewer sessions than older nanosecond lasers.
Lip Pigmentation Laser Treatment
Gently and safely diminishes dark or uneven lip pigmentation caused by sun exposure, genetics, or smoking — restoring a naturally rosy tone.
Under-Eye Dark Circle Laser Treatment
Safely diminishes stubborn under-eye pigmentation and shadowing with a gentle, heat-free PicoWay® protocol built for delicate skin.
Why Choose PicoWay® at KP Dermatology?
Faster Results in Fewer Sessions
High-speed energy delivery clears pigmentation and tattoo ink much faster, meaning you generally need fewer overall treatments.
Minimal to No Downtime
Because it doesn’t rely on intense, burning heat, recovery time is drastically reduced. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately.
Maximised Patient Comfort
The ultra-fast pulses ensure a far more comfortable experience — most patients describe the sensation as a mild snapping feeling.
Safe for Diverse Skin Types
Advanced technology allows Dr. More to safely treat a broad spectrum of skin tones, with significantly reduced risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
What to Expect: Your PicoWay® Journey
The Consultation
A comprehensive, one-on-one consultation with our expert team to assess your skin type, discuss your goals, and design a customised treatment plan.
During the Treatment
Sessions are incredibly fast — typically 15 to 30 minutes, depending on treatment area size. Protective eyewear is provided throughout.
Aftercare & Recovery
Mild redness or swelling, similar to a light sunburn, may occur — this is normal and typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
Before treatment: avoid harsh active ingredients, retinoids, and exfoliants for at least 48 hours to allow your skin to heal, and protect treated skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen afterward, as it will be temporarily sensitive to UV light.
PicoWay® Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
It depends entirely on your skin concern. Superficial pigmentation like sun spots may clear up in just 1–2 sessions. Deeper concerns like melasma, severe acne scarring, or full tattoo removal generally require a customised series of 3–8 treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Is the PicoWay laser safe?
Yes. By using ultra-short pulses instead of intense heat, the PicoWay® laser significantly lowers the risk of scarring, burns, or thermal damage, making it one of the safest aesthetic lasers available today.
When will I see results?
For skin rejuvenation and superficial pigmentation, patients often notice visible improvement within 1–2 weeks as the body flushes away shattered pigment. Collagen rebuilding for acne scars and wrinkles is a gradual process that continues to improve over several months.
