PICOWAY

The PicoWay laser system is FDA, CE, and TGA cleared. The device uses a picosecond laser beam with high power and ultra-short pulses to transform your skin from the inside out! The PicoWay laser treats acne scars, wrinkles, benign pigmented lesions (dark spots), and removes black and multi-color tattoos.

The PicoWay laser first became known for its tattoo and pigment removal capabilities, but it continues to grow in use for acne scars and wrinkles.8 The PicoWay laser uses different handpieces and laser wavelengths for treatment of these conditions, which your treatment provider will use according to what’s right for you and your skin.

 

How does it works?

All PicoWay laser treatments use a picosecond laser with high power and ultra-short pulses. A picosecond is a trillionth of a second, rather than a photothermal (or heat) approach that heats the skin and can lead to side effects, such as downtime and scarring.8

The PicoWay laser works below the surface, leaving the outer layer of the skin intact. It can target tattoo pigment, the excess melanin in the skin that causes dark spots, and other pigment; if treating conditions such as acne scars or wrinkles, it creates tiny spaces in the dermis (the layer just beneath the outer skin) to encourage the production of collagen and elastin.

Picoway Benefits:

PicoWay Laser Treatment Highlights

Skin Pigmentation, Freckles, Sun Spots and Melasma Treatment

With ultra-short pulse duration and a variety of wavelengths of lasers, PicoWay is an advanced Pico-second laser system.  A variety of laser adjustment can be made to suit different types of pigmentation issues.

 

Acne Scarring

With the PicoWay Resolve technology, it creates a vacuolisation of deeper of skin (dermis), and causes collagen remodelling to improve acne scarring.  This technology “bypasses” the top layer of the skin, achieving a low to no-downtime treatment option, so one can go back to work or social activity a day or 2 after each treatment.

 

Skin Rejuvenation, Fine Wrinkling and Pore Reduction.

The PicoWay Resolve technology at a lower setting can be utilised for low-downtime rejuvenation treatment for improving fine wrinkling, pore size and skin texture.

 

Tattoo Removal

Pico-second lasers have revolutionised tattoo removal treatment, allowing for less treatment sessions to achieve faster clearance.

The utilisation of multiple wavelength maximises the chance of removing the toughest multi-coloured cosmetic and professional tattoos, such as ones that contain blue or green tattoo pigment.
