PicoWay · Ocala, Florida
We treat sun spots, melasma, and uneven tone with the PicoWay picosecond laser, and your first visit is a candid look at whether it is the right match for your skin before anything is scheduled.
The Candid Consult
PicoWay delivers bursts measured in picoseconds, short enough to shatter pigment into fragments your body clears on its own, and its fractional Resolve handpiece works just under the surface with very little heat, so downtime stays light. In Ocala its work is skin: sun spots, melasma, and the uneven tone that topical products stall on. Body ink is a service of its own here, covered on our tattoo removal page.
You get a straight answer here. Your provider studies your skin tone and how deep the pigment sits, then tells you whether picosecond energy is the right call or a gentler option should come first. The protocols behind that answer were set by Dr. Tali Arviv, MD, who founded the practice in 2014 after more than ten years in laser technology, and our team also includes Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
Why This Office
Pigment work rewards honesty about depth. Melasma in particular is managed over time, not erased in a single visit, as the dermatology association’s melasma overview lays out. Here is Ocala’s case.
Guests hold this office to a 4.8-star standard across 89 Google reviews. What those reviews describe matters more to us than how many there are.
Ocala is the only Arviv location whose Google profile carries the Plastic surgeon category, naming Dr. Ahmed Abdullah, board-certified in surgery and plastic surgery. Our treatment protocols are built on that surgical training.
Reviews here keep naming the visit itself: a comfortable office, an honest opinion, questions answered without hurry. Your PicoWay consult follows that tone, including telling you when a peel is the better first step.
PicoWay clears color. When pigment sits shallow, starting with our chemical peels can make more sense, and when texture or etched scarring is the real concern, CO2 laser resurfacing treats deeper and needs more downtime afterward.
What to Expect
The conversation comes before the laser does, at every step.
Your provider looks at your skin tone and how deep the pigment sits, then tells you directly whether PicoWay or a shallower option fits better, before anything is scheduled.
The handpiece follows your concern. The fractional Resolve splits the beam into many tiny beams for work just under the surface, where fresh collagen does the finishing.
Picosecond pulses leave little heat in the surrounding skin, so aftercare is simple and downtime stays light.
Pigment fades across a series of sessions, not in one visit. You and your provider set the spacing by how your skin responds.
Pigment, Not Ink
At this office PicoWay is a pigment laser for sun spots, melasma, and uneven tone. Body ink has a separate door here, and the one staffing limitation is stated plainly below.
Lighter, shallower spots often start better with a chemical peel, and body ink belongs with laser tattoo removal, a separate service here. Book a consult in Ocala for the skin check that sorts which.

“Came to Arviv Medical Aesthetics for microbladed eyebrow removal using the Pico laser, and I had a great experience. From reception to the medical assistants, the level of care and attention was excellent. Everyone was incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.”
“Had an amazing experience with Nicole on removing my eyebrows from a horrible micro blading. So happy I found the clinic. They use pico way and the result is already good after 1 treatment. Will come back in 6 weeks.”
“Dr Nicole was amazing and took great care of me. I did pico and got it done right away”

Address & Phone
Hours
Yes, and that is the point of it. Candidacy turns on your skin tone and how deep the pigment sits, and your provider will say so plainly, including steering you toward a gentler option when that fits better. If body ink is the real concern, our laser tattoo removal service is the right door, and the FDA’s consumer guidance explains that approach in plain terms.
We answer this one honestly: no. The Ocala team is three people, a nurse practitioner, an esthetician, and a medical assistant, and it does not carry a titled laser-technician role the way our Tampa flagship does. PicoWay sessions here are planned by the on-staff provider under the practice’s physician-set protocols.
Depth decides it. Picosecond energy reaches beneath the surface without heating the tissue around it, while a peel works more superficially and can be the smarter first step for lighter, shallower spots. Our chemical peels run at a range of depths, and your consult sorts out which side of that line your skin sits on.
A series, almost always. Pigment fades over several visits, with spacing set by how your skin responds, and flexible financing is available when your plan runs longer. The same treatment is also bookable at our Tampa location and our Miami location if either drive is shorter for you.
