PicoWay Laser Skincare Treatments
Optimal beauty. Inside and out.
Acne Scars
Acne scars are the result of inflammation of acne blemishes. The acne pore swells, and a breakdown occurs in the wall of the pore.
Some acne blemishes are small, and the scars created are shallow and heal quickly. Sometimes, the contents of blemishes
spill into the surrounding tissue and cause deeper scars.
The skin’s response is to repair the scar by forming new collagen fibers. These repairs usually aren’t as smooth and flawless as the original skin.
Wrinkles
Superficial wrinkles are associated with textural changes of the skin surface often caused by aging and sun exposure.
Increased sun exposure and smoking can speed up this process, leading to more wrinkles earlier in life
Dark Spots
Dark spots are concentrated areas of melanin in your skin caused by overactive pigment cells.
What Else Can PicoWay Laser Treat?
Preparing the skin for something new.
Eyebrow Tattoo Removal
Best suited for all permanent makeup like microblading or Nano Brows. Pigments may turn colour, blur, or fade over the years.
Some eyebrow tattoo is applied in the wrong areas, and far outside the usual margins, leading to unwanted brow shape and colour.
Lip Tattoo Removal
Lip tattoo is the second most permanent form of cosmetic tattoo, with pigments lasting many years in the skin.
Pigments could fade unevenly, or be incorrectly applied outside the natural boundaries of the lips, leading to an uneven, inconsistent appearance.
Body Tattoo Removal
Preparing the body for something new.
Body Tattoo Removal
Maybe its a souvenir from your favourite festival (or something you have no recollection of). Perhaps you're starting a new career and need to hide your ink.
Body Tattoo can be removed, or even faded to the point where it can be worked over with a fresh design.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PicoWay laser is an ultra-fast picosecond laser that treats acne scars, wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions and tattoo removal.
The PicoWay Resolve laser is a treatment on the PicoWay laser system, that uses a laser handpiece that splits the full beam into tiny microbeams. This allows treatment of conditions like acne scars, wrinkles and benign pigmented lesions. PicoWay Resolve acts by creating tiny open spaces, called vacuoles, under the skin where new collagen and elastin are built and can transform the skin over time.4,5,8
PicoWay treatments are typically brief (15-20 minutes) and are done over a series of treatment sessions spaced weeks apart.8 Your doctor will recommend a treatment plan that works best for you.
If you are looking for a laser treatment that acts below the surface of the skin and offers low to no downtime, then the PicoWay laser at IVONNE may be the right laser for you. Ask your laser professional how PicoWay can minimize your acne scars or wrinkles or remove bothersome dark spots and tattoos that you no longer want.
The PicoWay laser is FDA and CE mark cleared for certain uses: acne scars, wrinkles, dark spots (benign pigmented lesions), and tattoo removal. If you are looking for other laser treatments, such as hair removal, then the PicoWay laser is not the treatment for you. IVONNE can refer you to a laser hair removal provider upon request.
While the PicoWay laser works on both lighter and darker skin types, depending on the wavelength and applicator needed for your treatment, the PicoWay laser may not be the best treatment for your skin type. Your treatment provider will know which PicoWay applicator is best for your skin type and treatment needs.
Keep in mind that a PicoWay laser treatment typically requires multiple sessions. IVONNE can walk you through your treatment needs and will be the best source for determining whether treatment with the PicoWay laser is right for you.
Side effects with the PicoWay laser are typically transient and expected as part of the laser treatment.1-6 Clients experience low to no downtime. In some cases, clients may use a topical anesthetic to enhance comfort during the treatment. More common side effects include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, tingling or purplish spots.1-6,8 These effects will differ, however, depending on the treatment you receive.
Your level of discomfort depends on the type treatment you receive. For example, those undergoing tattoo removal are like to experience some pain and discomfort. However, when undergoing the PicoWay Resolve treatment, patients treated for wrinkles generally reported low levels of pain, and mild to no discomfort from those treated for acne scars or dark spots.
You may be able to see initial improvement after just the first treatment. However, this depends on the condition treated, and multiple sessions are typically necessary.1-6
With PicoWay Resolve treatment, most clients reported low levels of pain during treatment for wrinkles and mild to no discomfort for acne scar treatment.
Yes, treatment with the PicoWay laser has low to no downtime. Most people can 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.
PicoWay is a picosecond laser with high peak power and ultra-short pulse durations for a photoacoustic, rather than a photothermal effect that can overheat the skin. The majority of PicoWay clients report high patient satisfaction and low to no downtime.
When receiving Laser Treatments at IVONNE you're connected with a professional who is also trained in alternative skincare treatment methods, including Microneedling or Chemical Peels. Your Laser Skincare treatment can be augmented, or alternated with different modalities, including at-home skincare products for the best results.
In addition to this, your Laser Tattoo Professional is an authorized provider of leading skincare brands, so you're getting connected to a full 360 degree approach to better skin.
PicoWay laser treatment at IVONNE cost will vary depending on the type of treatment, size of treatment area, number of treatment sessions and other factors. In general, it can be assumed that treating a larger area, the complete face, is a higher cost than treating a small dark spot. It is recommended to obtain an official cost estimate before proceeding with any treatments.
Any laser treatment can temporarily leave the skin sensitive and delicate. Staying out of the sunlight is critically important. It is recommended to pursue any laser treatment in the Fall, Winter, and Spring months, and avoid Summer unless you are planning to stay indoors for the healing period.
