PICOWAY
The PicoWay Laser System is an excellent option for any patient interested in tattoo removal, targeting sunspots, and treating signs of sun damage. With its hand piece, PicoWay Resolve, it is possible to carry out aesthetic procedures like skin-resurfacing. This makes PicoWay a very versatile device for many treatments.
PicoWay is an advanced laser that uses ultra-short picosecond pulses (equivalent to one trillionth of a second!) to the skin and will eliminate the skin issue with no downtime!
The ultra-short pulses with PicoWay are important because they lead to a “photo-acoustic” effect that avoids heating the skin rather than a photothermal (or heat) approach that heats the skin and can lead to side effects, such as downtime and scarring.
The PicoWay laser reaches under the skin for its impact, leaving the outer layer of the skin intact. The ultra-short pulses vaporize their targets before the skin has the chance to overheat.
Targets can be pigment from a tattoo, melanin in the skin that causes dark spots, or areas in the dermis (a layer under the outer skin) where tiny spaces can be created to allow room for new collagen and elastin growth in the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles.
