Frequently Asked Questions

Benign pigmented lesions are non-cancerous skin discolorations caused by an excess of melanin. Common examples include freckles, age spots, melasma, and café-au-lait spots.

The PicoWay laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter excess melanin into tiny particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in a clearer complexion.

Yes, the PicoWay laser is designed to treat various skin types, including darker skin tones, with a lower risk of side effects such as scarring or hypopigmentation.

The number of sessions varies based on the type and depth of the lesion. Some patients see improvement after a single session, while others may require multiple treatments.

Patients may experience a mild snapping sensation as the laser pulses are delivered. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and the PicoWay system’s design minimizes discomfort.

Downtime is minimal to none. Some patients may experience temporary redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day.

Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. These effects are typically short-lived.

It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner, which may include avoiding sun exposure and applying sunscreen to protect the treated area.

Improvement can often be seen after the first session, with continued progress over subsequent treatments as the body processes the treated pigment.

Results are long-lasting, though new pigmented lesions can develop over time due to factors like sun exposure. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of benign pigmented lesions and achieve a more even skin tone are good candidates. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can determine suitability.
