The Device and the Bench

What PicoWay Does at Westchase

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

Why Book PicoWay in Tampa

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 Titled Laser Technicians

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.

Pigment Is Its Own Job Here

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.

Cosmetic Tattoo Experience

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

How a PicoWay Series Comes Together

Nothing on this page locks in a setting. The visit starts with your skin, and the plan follows.

A Pigment Review First

Your provider looks at the color you want cleared, your skin tone, and how deep the pigment sits before anything is scheduled.

Handpiece Selection

Several handpieces run on the one platform. Your concern decides the choice, with the fractional Resolve reserved for work just beneath the surface.

The Session and the Days After

The pulses leave little heat behind, so most pigment appointments end with light aftercare rather than real downtime.

A Series, Mapped Out

Pigment fades across sessions, not in one pass. Your provider spaces the series by how your skin answers each visit.

Two Jobs, One Laser

Am I the Right Candidate?

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.

What the Picosecond Pulse Suits

  • Dark spots or melasma have outlasted every product you have tried on them.
  • You want ink assessed before anything is quoted, rather than buying a package and finding out afterward.
  • Having your skin tone factored into the settings matters to you rather than being treated as a detail.
  • A series is something you accept, because pigment does not resolve in one visit.

Set at the Pigment Review

  • Tanned skin raises the pigment risk, so a recent tan pushes the session back rather than changing it.
  • Melasma returns with sun and with hormones, which makes maintenance part of the plan rather than a finish line.
  • How ink behaves depends on its color and depth, and some colors hold on harder than others.
  • Pregnancy, any photosensitizing medication, and active skin conditions at the site are each checked before settings are chosen.

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.

In Their Words

What Arviv Guests Say About PicoWay

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”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PicoWay remove an eyebrow or cosmetic tattoo?

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.

What does PicoWay Resolve do for acne scars and fine lines?

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.

Who runs the PicoWay at the Tampa location?

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.

How many sessions will my pigment need?

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.
