Frequently Asked Questions

The PicoWay® laser is an advanced picosecond laser system designed to address various skin concerns, including tattoo removal (both body and permanent makeup), benign pigmented lesions, acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines.

The PicoWay laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy in picoseconds (trillionths of a second) to create a photoacoustic effect, shattering pigment particles and stimulating collagen production without significant heating of the surrounding tissue.

The PicoWay laser offers treatments for: - **Laser Tattoo Removal**: Effective on a wide range of tattoo colors and types, including body tattoos and permanent makeup. - **Benign Pigmented Lesions**: Addresses conditions like freckles, age spots, and melasma. - **Skin Texture Improvement**: Treats acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines by promoting collagen and elastin production.

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 specific condition and individual response. Tattoo removal may require multiple sessions, while skin rejuvenation treatments like wrinkle reduction or acne scar improvement might need fewer sessions.

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 or as collagen remodeling occurs.

Results are long-lasting, though maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on the specific condition and individual skin response.

Individuals seeking to remove tattoos, address pigmented lesions, or improve skin texture affected by acne scars, wrinkles, or fine lines are good candidates. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can determine suitability.
