One Platform, Two Jobs

What PicoWay Treats

PicoWay is a picosecond laser that breaks pigment into fragments your body clears on its own, without heating the skin around it. At the Miami location it works most often on melasma, sun-related dark spots, and age spots. The same platform lifts ink for our tattoo removal service through a different handpiece. That makes it two reasons to book one device.

Dr. Tali Arviv, MD worked as a laser technician before she earned her medical degree. Pigment lasers have been part of her practice since she opened it in 2014. The protocol behind this page was set by a physician who has held the handpiece herself. Your provider follows her settings rather than a vendor default.

Why This Location

Why Book PicoWay Here

Melasma is a stubborn, recurring pigment condition, as the dermatology association’s melasma overview explains. That is why the plan matters as much as the device that runs it.

Two Uses, One Laser

The same PicoWay platform that treats melasma and dark spots also lifts tattoo ink with a different handpiece. One consult can cover both if you carry both concerns.

A Physician Who Ran the Machine

Dr. Tali Arviv, MD worked hands-on as a laser technician before medical school. That device experience still shapes the settings your provider chooses for your skin.

Matched to Your Skin Tone

Settings change with your skin tone and how deep the pigment sits. Your provider confirms candidacy at consult rather than applying one default protocol.

PicoWay clears pigment. If texture or deeper acne scarring is what actually brought you in, CO2 laser resurfacing reaches further down. It asks for more recovery in return.

What to Expect

Your PicoWay Visit, Step by Step

From the first skin check to the session schedule, the visit is unhurried. It is built around the concern that brought you in, pigment or ink.

Consult and Skin Check

Your provider examines your pigment or ink. Nothing gets scheduled until PicoWay is confirmed as the right match for your skin tone.

The Session

The handpiece and settings are chosen for your specific concern. Most sessions run well under an hour with little heat felt during the pulses.

A Short Recovery

Downtime is typically light. Pigment sessions carry the shortest recovery window of the resurfacing options on this floor.

A Plan, Not One Visit

Pigment and tattoo ink both respond to a series rather than a single pass. Your provider sets that schedule with you at consult.

Tone and Pigment

Am I the Right Candidate?

PicoWay does two jobs at this location, pigment such as melasma and dark spots, and tattoo ink. Your skin tone and the depth of the pigment set the number of sessions.

A Fit for Either Job

  • You have dark spots, sun damage, or melasma you want addressed with a picosecond laser.
  • You want tattoo ink faded or removed and would rather start with an assessment than a package.
  • You want your skin tone taken into account when the settings are chosen.
  • You accept that pigment work runs across a series rather than one visit.

What the Skin Check Covers

  • Recent sun exposure or a tan is a reason to wait, since treating tanned skin raises the pigment risk.
  • Melasma tends to return with sun and hormones, so treatment comes with a maintenance plan rather than a finish line.
  • Ink color and depth affect how a tattoo responds, and some colors are more stubborn than others.
  • Pregnancy, photosensitizing medication, and any active skin condition in the area are all reviewed first.

Your consult starts with a skin check so the plan is set to your tone rather than a default. Book a consult, or read about tattoo removal if that is your goal.

In Their Words

What Miami Guests Say About PicoWay

PicoWay does appear in what guests at this location write. Beyond that, the record is about what every treatment here shares, which is the provider you sit with and how the appointment is run, because on a laser the settings are chosen for your skin rather than read off a chart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PicoWay treat both dark spots and tattoos?

Yes. The same platform runs pigment treatments for melasma, sun spots, and age spots. A separate PicoWay Resolve handpiece lifts tattoo ink. The FDA’s consumer guidance covers the laser approach we use for ink. Your consult covers whichever concern brought you in.

Is PicoWay safe for every skin tone?

Candidacy depends on your specific skin tone and how deep the pigment sits. So your provider confirms it in person rather than promising a universal setting. A laser resurfacing guide from the dermatologic surgery society explains why settings have to follow skin type.

How many PicoWay sessions will I need?

Most pigment concerns respond to a series of sessions rather than one visit. Your provider sets the number and spacing by how your skin responds. If your pigment sits close to the surface, chemical peels may be the shallower place to start instead.

Is PicoWay available at the other Florida locations?

Yes, the same treatment runs on the Tampa and Ocala skin-rejuvenation menus under the same physician-set protocol. New patients at any location start with a paid consultation applied toward the treatment plan. Flexible financing is available if your plan calls for it.
