Picoway Reduces Freckles, Melasma and Morer.

The unique picosecond laser technology of PicoWay enables the removal of benign pigment spots, including freckles, solar lentigines (brown spots), Nevus of Ota, Café-au-Lait spots and melasma. PicoWay is a safe, effective treatment option for any skin type, and offers results in just a few treatments.

Picosecond technology uses ultra-short bursts of energy to create a photo acoustic impact, which breaks up the pigmentation into smaller, more easily absorbed particles. Its proprietary mode of action has the highest peak power and the shortest pulse duration of any picosecond device on the market for superior efficacy, safety and comfort. That’s right, we’re offering the fastest, most effective treatment at Jeunesse Spa and Skin Care.

The number of treatments will vary depending on location, depth, size and type of pigment. Some lesions will require several treatments for optimal results. The treatments are done in intervals of 8-12 weeks. While side effects are minimal, they may include initial darkening and/or an ashy appearance of the lesion, as well as redness, swelling, bruising and crusting. Rare side effects include temporary or permanent hyperpigmentation/ hypopigmentation, blistering and scarring.

What is PicoWay?

PicoWay Resolve is a treatment on the PicoWay laser system, using a laser handpiece that splits the full beam into tiny microbeams. This allows treatment of conditions like acne scars and wrinkles. 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.

PicoWay treatments are typically brief (15-20 minutes) and are done over a series of treatment sessions spaced weeks apart. we will recommend a treatment plan that works best for you.

Is PicoWay right for me?

If you are looking for a laser treatment that acts below the surface of the skin and offers low to no downtime, PicoWay may be the right laser for you. Ask us if PicoWay can help minimize your acne scars or wrinkles, of if it can remove bothersome dark spots or tattoos that you no longer want.

While PicoWay works across a broad range of skin types, depending on the wavelength needed for your treatment, PicoWay may not be the best treatment for your skin type.

PicoWay is a treatment that typically involves treatment over a series of treatment sessions, so that is an important consideration in your treatment decision. we can walk you through your treatment needs and will be the best source for determining whether PicoWay is right for you.

Is PicoWay safe?

Side effects with PicoWay are typically transient and expected as part of the laser treatment. Patients experience low to no downtime. In some cases, patients may use a topical anesthetic to enhance comfort during the treatment. More common side effects include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, tingling or purplish spots. These effects will differ, however, depending on the treatment you receive.

Are PicoWay treatments painful?

How PicoWay feels will be dependent on the treatment you receive. Those undergoing tattoo removal are likely to experience some pain and discomfort with treatment.

With PicoWay Resolve treatment, most patients reported low levels of pain during treatment for wrinkles and mild to no discomfort for acne scar treatment.

How soon can I expect to see results?

Depending on the condition treated, you may be able to see initial improvement as early as after the first treatment. Typically, multiple treatment sessions are needed. As an example, a clinical study of benign pigmented lesions found that after 2 treatments, 87% of lesions had a least good response (50% had a good response or better).
