The advanced dual-wavelength PicoWay laser system utilizes photoacoustic technology to deliver picosecond pulses of laser energy that selectively target and remove epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions, brown spots, sun spots, freckles, and blotchy pigmentation. The ultra-short pulses shatter unwanted pigment into tiny particles that the body naturally clears, with minimal heat to the surrounding skin. A series of treatments is recommended to maximize clearing of uneven skin pigmentation.
The PicoWay laser rejuvenates the skin by delivering ultra-short picosecond pulses of laser energy that stimulate collagen production. Because the photoacoustic effect treats the skin with minimal thermal damage, patients can usually return to normal activities with minimal downtime. Moreover, because of ongoing collagen stimulation, the initial benefits continue to accrue gradually over several months. A series of treatments is required for maximal benefit. In addition to the face, the PicoWay laser can be used to rejuvenate the neck, chest, and hands.
While not all tattoo pigments can be improved or eliminated with laser therapy, lasers are highly effective at removing many unwanted tattoos. The advanced picosecond PicoWay laser uses photoacoustic energy to remove a wide range of tattoo pigments, selectively destroying black, blue and red ink pigments with minimal damage to the uninvolved skin. Multiple treatments are needed for maximal clearing. Multicolored tattoos are cleared in fewer sessions and the laser works on all skin types.
