FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

PicoWay excels in treating various skin issues

  1. Acne Scars: Diminishes and lightens scars left by acne, including atrophic scars and pigmentation.
  2. Pigmentation: Improves skin uniformity and reduces pigmentation for uneven skin tones, sunspots, and melasma.
  3. Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smoothens fine lines and wrinkles around the face and neck, such as crow’s feet and nasolabial folds.
  4. Enlarged Pores: Reduces pore size for a refined appearance.
  5. Skin Texture Improvement: Enhances skin texture, making it smoother, firmer, and more elastic.

Treatment Principle

The PicoWay laser works by emitting extremely brief pulses at the picosecond level (one trillionth of a second), efficiently and precisely breaking down pigment particles in the skin, including melanin and tattoo ink particles.

The ultra-short duration of the laser pulses minimizes heat absorption by surrounding tissue, significantly reducing thermal damage and post-treatment discomfort. This allows for the effective clearing or lightening of pigmented lesions and tattoos without harming the skin.

Additionally, PicoWay stimulates collagen regeneration within the skin, promoting natural repair processes that enhance skin firmness and elasticity, thus offering anti-aging and beautification benefits.

PicoWay advantages

  • Efficient Pigment Removal: It effectively removes various pigment colors, including tough shades like blue and green, breaking them down for easier body metabolism.
  • Fewer Treatment Sessions: High energy and ultra-short pulses mean fewer treatments are needed, offering quicker results compared to traditional lasers.
  • Shorter Recovery Time: Minimal thermal damage to the skin shortens recovery, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities.
  • Versatile for Various Skin Types: Suitable for different skin tones, including darker complexions, broadening its benefits.
  • Overall Skin Improvement: Enhances skin quality, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving smoothness.

How long is the recovery period?

After undergoing PicoWay laser treatment , the skin typically requires about 20-30 days for complete self-repair and recovery. Post-treatment, small black dots resembling sesame seeds may appear on the face, accompanied by slight redness and swelling. These signs are normal and indicate the body is releasing ACMETEA infiltrating inflammatory cells to aid skin repair. To facilitate recovery, it’s crucial to maintain good hydration, moisturization, and sun protection practices.
