PicoWay receives CE mark for tattoo removaland pigmented lesions

Syneron Candela’s new device, PicoWay,has received CE Mark indication to treattattoos of all types and colours andpigmented lesions on any skin type. PicoWay is a dual wavelength device, with 532nm and 1064nmwavelengths, which utilisesSyneron’s proprietaryPicoWay technology todeliver energy to the skin using pulses which are trillionths of a second, knownas picosecond pulses. Thecompany will begin a stagedlaunch of the PicoWay devicein the international market during the thirdquarter of 2014 and anticipates that it will receive US Food and Drug Administration(FDA) clearance for PicoWay by the endof 2014. T PicoWay’s high peak power and ultrashortpulse duration enable a unique modeof action, which creates the strongestphoto-mechanical impact to break up thetattoo ink or the pigmentation. AmitMeridor, CEO of Syneroncommented, “Since PicoWay has the shortest picosecond pulse duration andthe highest peak power of any deviceon the market, we believe that fewertreatments will be needed and that thepercentage clearance will be higher.”
