About PicoWay®

The PicoWay® is a powerful yet gentle way to address unwanted pigmentation, acne scars as well as fine lines and wrinkles. The PicoWay® picosecond laser delivers photoacoustic energy (mechanical energy) in trillionths of a second, making it safe for all skin types. The PicoWay® can also treat tattoos.

Benefits

  • Non-invasive and safe on all skin types
  • The fastest energy laser in the world
  • Addresses tone and texture
  • Minimal downtime
  • Can be used for tattoo removal
  • Offers a gentle solution for sun damage and acne scarring

How It Works

The PicoWay® is a light based treatment that targets all three layers of photo-damaged tissue; epidermal pigment, mid-dermal wrinkles, and deep dermal laxity.

The photoacoustic energy generated shatters pigmented particles into tiny fragments without burning or damaging the skin. The body’s natural healing process expels the fragmented particles and encourages the production of fresh, new collagen and elastin.

Did you know that the PicoWay® is the only laser that has three wavelengths in one laser system? This makes it the most effective and precise technology to address a multitude of conditions.

FAQs

What is the downtime for the PicoWay®? 

Downtime includes redness and minor swelling which resolves within a few hours but may linger up to 24 hours. You may notice darkening of your existing pigment which will slough off after a few days. Avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen.

Does it hurt? 

We offer a topical numbing cream to alleviate the discomfort you may feel during the treatment.

Why do I need to avoid the sun during my PicoWay®treatments? 

The skin is more vulnerable to sunlight after any laser treatment so wearing SPF30+ is extremely important. A “tan” is damage caused by solar radiation therefore to have sun exposure during treatments such as PicoWay® will result in both making it difficult to achieve an even skin tone and also make it more dangerous to provide a substantial treatment.

How many treatments do I need? 

Depending on your skin, anywhere from 3 – 6 sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. We recommend maintenance treatments to upkeep your skin health.
