There is a solution to unwanted imperfections that change the skin’s color. PicoWay, a fast and easy non-surgical laser treatment, can remove everything from freckles to a tattoo you no longer like.
What Is PicoWay Laser treatment?
PicoWay lasers were originally developed for tattoo removal, but today are also used to successfully erase other skin pigment issues.
This advanced, non-surgical treatment uses short bursts of laser energy to break down pigmentation into the tiniest particles possible. The PicoWay laser is measured in “picoseconds” or trillionths of a second. This is the shortest laser pulse available on the market today, making it both more precise and less painful than any other laser in its class.
REQUEST NOWWhen is a PicoWay Laser treatment typically used?
PicoWay non-surgical laser treatment can be used to reduce or eliminate a number of skin pigmentation imperfections, including:
The benefits of PicoWay Laser treatment
The PicoWay laser breaks down pigments in the skin, making them disappear as they are gently absorbed by the body. Its super-short pulses allow clinicians to target the treatment area with great accuracy, preserving the surrounding tissue.
Due to the low level of heat transferred to the skin, there is little to no discomfort during a PicoWay laser procedure. Treatment is also very convenient, taking roughly a half hour to complete.
As an added benefit, the PicoWay laser stimulates collagen production, helping to rejuvenate skin, heal scars, and even remove wrinkles.
What to expect with PicoWay Laser treatment
At a Forefront consultation, our board-certified dermatologists will examine your skin and discuss treatment options. They will explain how a state-of-the-art PicoWay procedure can help and answer your questions to help you decide if PicoWay is right for you.
Treatment with a PicoWay laser is available at most Forefront locations and starts with testing your skin’s reaction to the laser. During the procedure, the dermatologist uses a handheld device to deliver laser pulses directly to the problem areas.
The process is typically finished within 30 minutes. During that time, you will wear protective eyewear, but will not need anesthetic.
PicoWay Laser recovery
Because the PicoWay laser emits less heat than traditional lasers, there is less discomfort during and after the procedure. You may experience some temporary redness or discoloration, or a mild stinging sensation. These symptoms resolve quickly with little or no downtime.
Your skin will be more sensitive to light, so avoiding sun exposure is recommended. Use sunscreen and cover up with a hat when outdoors for the first few weeks after treatment. Otherwise, you can resume your usual routine right away.
Results you can expect from PicoWay Laser treatments
For some cosmetic treatments, it can take several weeks to see any noticeable results. The low-energy nature of the PicoWay laser allows the skin to heal faster, resulting in noticeably smoother, pigment-free skin much sooner.
The treatment’s effectiveness depends on many factors, such as the type of skin imperfections, where they’re located, and their size. Some patients are happy with their results after just one PicoWay treatment. Others may opt for additional sessions. Your Forefront specialist will provide you with a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.
