Compare the most effective collagen treatments for facial firmness and skin quality. Expert insights from Arviv Medical Aesthetics in Florida.
PicoWay · Westchase, Tampa
We clear melasma, sun spots, and cosmetic tattoo pigment on the PicoWay picosecond laser at our Westchase flagship, home to the deepest laser bench in the practice.
The Device and the Bench
PicoWay fires bursts measured in picoseconds, short enough to shatter pigment into fragments your body clears on its own. Its home ground at Westchase is tone: melasma, sun-related dark spots, and the uneven color creams never quite reach. Full tattoos are a service of their own here, covered on our tattoo removal page.
The bench behind the laser is the Tampa difference. This flagship carries our largest team and the practice's only titled laser technicians, under protocols Dr. Tali Arviv, MD has owned since founding the practice in 2014. When a treatment comes down to a handpiece and a setting, that job title matters.
Why This Location
Melasma tends to come back and rewards a plan more than a quick fix, as the dermatology association’s melasma overview lays out. Here is why the plan gets made at this address.
Three of our 14 Tampa staff hold laser technician titles. No other Arviv location has even one, which makes Westchase the natural home for device work.
Melasma, sun spots, and uneven tone run as their own service line here, not a sideline of tattoo work. Picosecond pulses break the color apart without heating the skin around it.
Tampa is the one Arviv city where eyebrow and cosmetic tattoo concerns surface in our Google reviews at all. Faded or overdone brows are a real reason guests walk in here.
Color is PicoWay’s lane. For etched lines, texture, or deeper acne scarring, CO2 laser resurfacing works further down and asks for a longer recovery in exchange.
What to Expect
Nothing on this page locks in a setting. The visit starts with your skin, and the plan follows.
Your provider looks at the color you want cleared, your skin tone, and how deep the pigment sits before anything is scheduled.
Several handpieces run on the one platform. Your concern decides the choice, with the fractional Resolve reserved for work just beneath the surface.
The pulses leave little heat behind, so most pigment appointments end with light aftercare rather than real downtime.
Pigment fades across sessions, not in one pass. Your provider spaces the series by how your skin answers each visit.
Two Jobs, One Laser
PicoWay does two jobs at this location, pigment such as melasma and dark spots, and ink, including cosmetic and eyebrow tattoos. Skin tone and pigment depth set the number of visits.
Pigment is treated as its own discipline here, run by the only three titled laser technicians in the practice. Book a consult, or read about tattoo removal if ink is what brought you.

Real Results







Individual results vary. These are real patients photographed at our offices; no photo is a promise of your own outcome, and only a consult can tell you what is realistic.
In Their Words
Google builds its own topic list for each location out of every review left there, and for our Tampa flagship eyebrow tattoo removal sits on that list at twelve mentions across 760 reviews. What the reviews themselves put first is a name: guests here credit the provider who treated them rather than the laser. Cosmetic tattoo pigment is the work this page covers, and full body ink is a different job with its own Tampa page. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.
“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”
Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.
The Tampa Location
We sit on Countryway Boulevard in Westchase, close to Citrus Park, Carrollwood, and Town ’n’ Country, and a short drive for Oldsmar and Safety Harbor neighbors across the Pinellas line. If another city is closer, PicoWay also runs at our Miami location and on the Ocala menu, whichever drive is shorter.
Address & Phone
Hours
Yes. Brow and cosmetic pigment responds to the same picosecond approach we use on other unwanted color. Cosmetic inks vary widely, so your provider confirms candidacy in person before mapping your series. The FDA’s consumer guidance explains the approach in plain terms.
Resolve, the platform’s fractional handpiece, splits the beam into many tiny beams that reach just beneath the surface and prompt fresh collagen and elastin where scarring or fine lines have thinned the skin. Recovery stays light for most guests.
Our Westchase team of 14 includes three titled laser technicians and three advanced-practice providers. Your provider is confirmed at consult, never pre-assigned on a page, and settings follow your skin type, as the dermatologic surgery society’s laser resurfacing guide explains.
A series, in almost every case, paced by how deep the pigment sits and how your skin responds between visits. If your color stays close to the surface, chemical peels can be a gentler start, and flexible financing is available if your plan calls for it.
