PicoWay Toronto | Melasma, Acne Scar Removal Laser
What is a PicoWay Laser Treatment?
PicoWay, developed by Candela, is an advanced, FDA-approved picosecond laser system designed to effectively treat pigmentation, acne scars, wrinkles, and tattoo removal. Recognized for its exceptional safety and efficacy, it is also CE and TGA-approved, ensuring compliance with international medical and aesthetic standards.
PicoWay Laser treatment uses high-power picosecond laser beams with ultra-short pulses, delivering energy in trillionths of a second. Unlike traditional lasers that generate heat, PicoWay’s rapid pulses break down pigmentation and tattoo ink with minimal impact on surrounding skin while stimulating collagen production.
Initially known for its tattoo and pigment removal capabilities, PicoWay Toronto is now widely used in medical aesthetics and dermatology to address melasma, sunspots, age spots, and uneven skin tone. PicoWay Laser system features multiple laser wavelengths and specialized handpieces, allowing treatments to be customized for various skin types and concerns. With clinically proven results and high patient satisfaction, PicoWay Laser at Signature Cosmetic Clinic is a top choice in Toronto for those seeking safe, effective, and advanced skin treatments. PicoWay Laser is available at our Toronto, Markham, and Vaughan clinic locations.
How Does PicoWay Treatment Work?
Ultra-Fast Picosecond Laser Technology
The term “picosecond” represents a unit of time equal to one trillionth of a second, which is 1,000 times faster than a nanosecond laser. This extreme speed means that each laser pulse remains on the skin for an incredibly short duration, minimizing heat exposure while delivering powerful energy bursts. As a result, the PicoWay laser effectively breaks down melanin and pigmentation into fine particles, similar to grains of sand, allowing for faster metabolism and clearance without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
High-Power Laser Pulses with Photo-Acoustic Effect
PicoWay Laser utilizes ultra-short, high-power laser pulses that generate a photo-acoustic effect rather than relying on heat. This process shatters pigment particles with minimal damage to surrounding tissues, making it a highly effective solution for treating pigmentation, acne scars, wrinkles, and tattoo removal, while ensuring a faster recovery and minimal discomfort.
Multiple Wavelengths for Versatile Treatment
PicoWay Laser offers a versatile range of laser wavelengths (1064 nm, 785 nm, 730 nm, and 532 nm) to precisely target different layers of the skin, allowing for customized treatments based on specific skin concerns:
- 1064 nm – Deep penetration, ideal for tattoo removal, collagen stimulation, and treatment of deeper pigmentation issues.
- 785 nm – Targets complex pigmentation concerns, such as melasma and acne scars.
- 730 nm – Effectively treats hard-to-remove pigment lesions and specific tattoo inks.
- 532 nm – Best suited for superficial pigmentation, such as sunspots, freckles, and age spots.
Holographic Fractional Technology for Enhanced Skin Repair
PicoWay Laser features Holographic Fractional Technology, which enhances skin rejuvenation by combining a holographic diffusion effect with dual-layer focusing technology.
- Holographic Diffusion Effect – Utilizes high-speed 360° picosecond light waves to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers, creating a three-dimensional filling effect that enhances skin repair and renewal.
- Dual-Layer Focusing Technology – Enables precise treatment of both the deep dermis and the superficial dermis, ensuring comprehensive and effective results for various skin concerns.
Multiple Handpieces for Personalized Treatments
PicoWay offers multiple specialized handpieces, allowing for a highly customized treatment approach. Each handpiece is designed to optimize laser delivery for specific skin concerns, ensuring maximum precision, safety, and effectiveness. Whether targeting pigmentation, wrinkles, acne scars, or tattoos, these handpieces enable tailored treatments that cater to individual skin types and conditions.

What to Expect During PicoWay Laser Treatment in Toronto
Free Consultation and Personalized Treatment Plan
At Signature Cosmetic Clinic, your PicoWay Laser treatment starts with a free consultation where our consultants assess your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals. The number of sessions needed varies depending on your skin condition, treatment area, and individual response to the laser. They will determine whether PicoWay Laser is the best option for you and design a customized treatment plan for optimal results.
During the PicoWay Laser Treatment
Before the procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed, and you will be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. Our trained technicians will adjust the PicoWay laser settings based on your specific needs to ensure safe and effective results.
The PicoWay Laser device delivers rapid picosecond pulses of energy to break down pigmentation, and tattoo ink, or stimulate collagen production. The treatment is quick, typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or snapping feeling, similar to a rubber band lightly snapping against the skin.
After the PicoWay Laser Treatment
After the procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day. A cooling gel or ice pack may be applied to soothe the skin. Over the next few weeks, you will notice gradual improvements as your body naturally eliminates pigmentation, tattoo ink, or rejuvenates the skin.
Are There Any Side Effects of PicoWay Laser Treatment?
PicoWay Laser is a safe and FDA-approved treatment with minimal risk of side effects. However, as with any laser procedure, some patients may experience temporary reactions. These are usually mild and short-lived, resolving within a few hours to a few days.
- Redness and Swelling – The treated area may appear slightly red or swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours to a day.
- Sensitivity or Warmth – The skin may feel warm or sensitive post-treatment, which typically fades quickly.
- Mild Tingling or Itching – Some patients experience a tingling or itching sensation as the skin heals.
- Temporary Darkening of Pigmentation – In some cases, pigmentation spots may temporarily darken before fading, which is part of the body’s natural healing process.
- Blistering or Scabbing – More common in tattoo removal, but typically heals without scarring.

The cost of PicoWay® laser treatment in Toronto depends on the treatment area and the number of sessions needed to achieve optimal results. At Signature Cosmetic Clinic, pricing starts at $400 per session for the eye area and $700 for full-face treatments—with 50% off your first session!

Hear From Our Successful Clients
See the real stories behind our success at Signature Cosmetic Clinics.
Mint handled the Hydrafacial and Pico laser treatment with great skill. Since I did the Pico laser, my face did experience some expected redness and swelling, but Mint was amazing throughout the process—she constantly checked in on how I was feeling to make sure I was comfortable. Afterwards, both of them went over all the post-treatment care guidelines in great detail. Overall, it was a very professional and reassuring experience for my first time! Can’t wait to see the difference on my face!
My consultant, Tiffany, took the time to understand my concerns and develop a plan that gave me hope. Her care, encouragement, and expertise helped me believe that meaningful change was possible. My Pico specialist, Chelsea, then delivered incredible results through her skill, professionalism, and dedication to my treatment journey.
Today, I can honestly say that I am happy with how I look. More importantly, I feel confident in myself. I no longer shy away from the world, and I've found myself embracing new opportunities and experiences that I once would have avoided. The transformation has been more than skin deep—it has changed how I see myself and how I engage with life.
I am deeply grateful to Tiffany, Chelsea, and the entire team at Signature Beauty Clinic. I could not have achieved these results without their expertise, support, and commitment to helping me become the best version of myself.
They both made me feel appreciated and well taken care of, which really made the whole experience enjoyable. I’m very happy with the results and the overall service. Thank you Jojo and Mint for your great work! I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend their services to others.
Special shout-out to Mint, the technician, for providing excellent care during my Coolsculpting treatment. The results are visible and I couldn't be happier! I also had Ultherpy done with Mint, I felt well taken care of and comfortable throughout.
Another big thank you to Jo, my consultant, who gave thoughtful recommendations on treatments suitable to me. She also ensured the treatment processes were seamless and stress-free.
Thank you for such great service and results !
I came in for skin booster treatments and filler services, and the entire process was incredibly smooth and professional.
The nurses were highly skilled, gentle, and attentive, and the consultant team provided honest, clear guidance that helped me choose the right treatment for my skin needs.
I’m extremely happy with my current results — natural, glowing, and exactly what I wanted.
Highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for trustworthy and professional aesthetic services!
The clinic is clean, modern, and very comfortable. I had a great experience and would highly recommend this place!
I’ve been seeing her for a year, and the results have been fantastic. Thanks to her professional and sincere service, I look and feel younger and more confident. Highly recommend Tiffany to anyone looking for real results and trustworthy care!
Curtis, the representative who assisted me throughout the process, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. His guidance and responsiveness played a key role in making this such a positive experience.
I am extremely pleased with both the results and the service I received, and I would highly recommend Dr. Cho and Curtis to anyone considering this procedure.
Tiffany Jiang, my cosmetic consultant, is incredibly knowledgeable and takes a personalized approach to skincare and other health needs such as weight management. She really listens and recommends treatments that are perfectly suited to my needs. Thanks to her, my skin has seen real results—smoother texture, visible anti-aging improvements, and that radiant “glass skin” glow I’ve always wanted. I also can't thank her enough for helping me with my weight loss journey!
Gisela, my go-to cosmetic nurse, is absolutely wonderful. She’s so attentive and gentle—her hands are truly magic! IVs and injections are completely painless in her care, and she always makes sure I feel comfortable and informed. I also have to mention Chelsea, who is the head of laser treatments—her expertise and precision make a world of difference. She’s helped refine and rejuvenate my skin in ways I didn’t think were possible.
The level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism from the entire team is truly best-in-class. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for top-tier skincare and cosmetic treatments. Just ask for Tiffany and you'll be in good hands!
I’ve also started my weight loss journey recently and all I can say is Gisela is a godsend with needles - I can’t even tell when she’s doing the injection because she’s that good!
Overall, my experience with this location has been great. From Chelsea who’s been helping with my laser treatments, to Gemma and Yoyo at reception, everyone is friendly, professional. There’s just an amazing welcoming atmosphere at FMP. I would highly recommend to reach out to Tiffany!
