PicoWay® Pigmentation LASER Treatment

Transform your skin from the inside out with a PicoWay® pigmentation treatment

Skin discolouration is common, and it’s treatable. Dark spots, or benign pigmented lesions, such as freckles, liver spots (age spots), and caféau-lait (brown patches), appear for many people at different stages of life, and on different areas of the skin. Some spots are related to excessive sun exposure, and others, like melasma, can be caused by hormone changes. Many of these skin discolourations can be distressing and affect your confidence.

Fortunately you can treat these concerns to maintain a younger, clearer look with a PicoWay® treatment.

The state-of-the-art PicoWay® picosecond laser skin procedures treat:
• Dark spots
• Uneven pigmentation
• Freckles
• Age spots and more.

How PicoWay treatments work?

Laser light is targeted at unwanted pigment in ultrashort picosecond pulses. These pulses shatter the pigment into very tiny particles which are then easily eliminated by the body’s natural processes. The PicoWay laser emits less heat energy than traditional lasers providing a safer, more comfortable treatment with fewer side effects.

Q&A

How many treatments will I need?

For some conditions, results with PicoWay are visible after the first treatment. With others, a series of 3 to 6 treatments may be needed.

Is PicoWay safe?

Side effects with PicoWay are typically transient and expected as part of the laser treatment. Patients experience low to no downtime. In some cases, patients may use a topical anesthetic to enhance comfort during the treatment. More common side effects include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, tingling or purplish spots. These effects will differ, however, depending on the treatment you receive.

Are PicoWay treatments painful?

How PicoWay feels will be dependent on the treatment you receive. Those undergoing tattoo removal are likely to experience some pain and discomfort with treatment.

With PicoWay Resolve treatment, most patients reported low levels of pain during treatment for wrinkles and mild to no discomfort for acne scar treatment.

How soon can I expect to see results?

Depending on the condition treated, you may be able to see initial improvement as early as after the first treatment. Typically, multiple treatment sessions are needed. As an example, a clinical study of benign pigmented lesions found that after 2 treatments, 87% of lesions had a least good response (>50% had a good response or better).

With PicoWay Resolve treatment, most patients reported low levels of pain during treatment for wrinkles and mild to no discomfort for acne scar treatment.

Can I return to normal activities after treatment?

Yes, PicoWay has low to no downtime. Most people are able to return to their activities of daily living shortly after treatment. You may need a bandage to keep the treatment area dry for a few days following tattoo removal.

What makes PicoWay different from other treatments?

PicoWay is a picosecond laser with high peak power and ultra-short pulse durations for a photoacoustic, rather than a photothermal effect that heats the skin. PicoWay patients report high patient satisfaction and low to no downtime.
