PicoWay®
We offer PicoWay® laser treatments, delivering fast and effective solutions for tattoo removal, pigmentation, and skin resurfacing with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What is PicoWay®?
The PicoWay® laser is a cutting-edge aesthetic treatment system that uses picosecond technology, delivering laser energy in incredibly fast pulses measured in trillionths of a second. This allows for precise and effective treatment with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. The PicoWay® laser is commonly used for tattoo removal, as its high-intensity pulses break down tattoo ink into smaller particles that the body can naturally eliminate. It is also effective in treating pigmentation issues, such as age spots, sun damage, and freckles, by targeting excess melanin in the skin. In addition, the laser is used for skin rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. The PicoWay® laser can also improve the look of acne scars by promoting collagen regeneration, making it a versatile option for a variety of skin concerns. Its rapid pulse technology offers faster results with reduced pain and downtime compared to traditional laser treatments.
What Are The Benefits?
Fast Treatment: The picosecond technology delivers energy in ultra-short pulses, allowing for faster treatment sessions with minimal discomfort. This is especially beneficial for people with busy schedules.
Minimal Downtime: Because of the precise and quick nature of the treatment, recovery time is generally shorter compared to traditional lasers, with most patients experiencing little to no downtime.
Effective Tattoo Removal: PicoWay® is highly effective at breaking down tattoo ink particles, including difficult-to-remove colors like green and blue. Multiple treatments can result in significant fading or complete removal of tattoos.
Improved Skin Tone and Texture: The laser stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer skin and a more even skin tone. It can help address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin.
Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing: PicoWay® is a non-ablative laser, meaning it doesn't remove the outer layers of skin. This makes it a gentler option compared to ablative lasers, reducing the risk of side effects like scarring. It effectively resurfaces the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production without damaging the surface layer, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Treats a Variety of Skin Conditions: PicoWay® can treat a wide range of skin concerns, including pigmentation issues (such as sunspots, age spots, and freckles), acne scars, and stretch marks.
Reduced Risk of Hyperpigmentation: Since the laser uses very short pulses of energy, it minimizes the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation, which is a concern with some traditional lasers, particularly in darker skin types.
Less Pain and Discomfort: The quick pulses reduce discomfort during treatment, and many patients report that PicoWay® is less painful than other laser treatments.
Suitable for All Skin Types: PicoWay® is generally safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones, which makes it a versatile option for a variety of patients.
What to Expect After Your Treatment
Mild Redness and Swelling: It's common to experience mild redness and swelling in the treated area right after the procedure. This is usually temporary and should subside within a few hours to a day.
Slight Tingling or Sensitivity: Your skin may feel slightly sensitive or have a tingling sensation following the treatment. This is a normal part of the healing process as the skin begins to regenerate.
No Downtime: One of the biggest benefits of PicoWay® is that there is minimal to no downtime. You can usually resume your daily activities right after treatment, although it’s a good idea to avoid sun exposure and heavy physical activity for a few days to help with recovery.
Pigment Changes: If you're getting treatment for pigmentation issues, such as sunspots or tattoos, you may notice some immediate darkening of the treated areas. For tattoos, this is a sign that the ink is breaking down, and the area will gradually fade over time. Pigmentation changes are usually temporary and will improve as your skin heals.
Skin Peeling or Flaking: If you're undergoing skin resurfacing or treatment for acne scars, you may experience mild peeling or flaking in the days following the procedure. This is a sign that the skin is exfoliating and regenerating, and it helps reveal smoother, more even skin.
Hydration and Moisturizing: It's important to keep your skin hydrated after the treatment. Use gentle, hydrating moisturizers and follow any post-care instructions provided by your practitioner to help promote healing and avoid irritation.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight for several weeks after the treatment, as it will be more sensitive and prone to pigmentation changes. Applying sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection is crucial.
Multiple Sessions: For optimal results, especially with tattoo removal, acne scars, or significant pigmentation issues, multiple sessions may be needed. Your provider will discuss the treatment plan and the expected timeline for achieving your desired results.
