Melasma & Stubborn Brown Pigment
Melasma and other brown pigment conditions can be persistent and cause discontent when looking in the mirror. PicoWay is FDA-cleared for melasma and other benign pigmented lesions, such as age spots, sunspots, liver spots, and certain birthmarks or moles. PicoWay features photoacoustic energy, which will shatter the clusters of pigment that cause these spots without causing any damage to the skin. Treatments can be combined with topical therapies such as creams or lotions to manage pigmentation and reduce the chances of spots recurring on your skin.
Occasionally, treatments can be seen almost immediately, but certain areas may require multiple sessions to fully remove. Semi-frequent maintenance may be recommended to maintain results and remove any new spots that occur. PicoWay has a minimal chance of causing hypo- or hyperpigmentation, even in those who are susceptible.
Wrinkles, Fine Lines, and Skin Rejuvenation
PicoWay isn’t just for pigment; it’s also a powerful skin rejuvenation tool that can be used to reduce the signs of aging! This innovative laser can stimulate collagen and elastin production to naturally improve overall skin texture and tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin health and glow. The fractional laser beams create micro-zones beneath the skin that encourage natural healing, thus promoting collagen production. Patients notice firmer, smoother skin after only one session.
