PicoWay®

PicoWay treats pigmentation issues, unwanted tattoos, acne scars, fine lines, and other skin concerns to transform the appearance of your skin.

Precision Technology to Transform Your Skin

At APDerm, our dedicated clinicians are committed to providing you with the highest quality of care. We utilize advanced technology like PicoWay, which employs ultra-short laser pulses to target and treat skin imperfections. Schedule an appointment with one of our dermatologists to explore how this treatment can help rejuvenate your skin.

What Is PicoWay?

PicoWay is a cutting-edge picosecond laser device designed to work from the inside out. This innovative technology delivers high peak power and ultra-short pulse durations for a photoacoustic effect that transforms skin. It can significantly improve acne scars and wrinkles, treat benign pigmented lesions, and remove many tattoos, including difficult-to-treat blue and green ones.

How It Works

PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond laser pulses to target skin imperfections. The laser energy is delivered in extremely short bursts, measured in picoseconds (one trillionth of a second). This allows for precise targeting of pigmentation and skin irregularities without causing damage to surrounding tissues.

The laser energy fragments pigmentation into tiny particles, which the body then naturally processes and eliminates. Additionally, the laser stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother skin texture and reduced signs of aging.

What to Expect From a PicoWay Treatment

During a PicoWay session, a specialized handpiece delivers ultra-short laser pulses to the treatment area. Depending on the size and number of areas being treated, the procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Most patients find the treatments comfortable, as the procedure is minimally invasive and requires no anesthesia. Patients often describe the sensation as a mild snapping feeling. Following the treatment, there is little to no downtime, and you can resume your normal activities immediately.

Results from PicoWay can be seen after the first treatment, with optimal results typically visible after multiple sessions, depending on the specific skin concern being treated.
