Launching late summer 2026
Laser tattoo & PMU removal
Candela PicoWay® picosecond laser removal of decorative tattoos and permanent makeup — ink chemistry, session planning, and regulatory boundaries.
One workshop covering the full picosecond-laser removal workflow on the Candela PicoWay® platform. Decorative tattoo removal and permanent makeup removal (brow and lip) in the same course, with dedicated attention to ink chemistry, wavelength-to-pigment matching, and the session-planning discipline that makes the difference across a long treatment course. Particular focus on identifying iron-oxide pigments in PMU work, managing the paradoxical-darkening response, and the regulatory boundaries of V-NISSG — notably why eyeliner falls outside the cosmetic scope and how to decline those cases with clear rationale.
Who it's for
