PicoWay Laser Treatment Specialist in Canton, MI

It is an FDA-cleared picosecond laser that is commonly used in skin rejuvenation procedures to treat concerns like acne scarring, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation (dark spots); it is also popular in tattoo removal. First known for its tattoo and pigment removal capabilities, the uses of PicoWay laser continues to grow in number, now being used for acne scars and wrinkles. To treat these conditions, it uses different handpieces and laser wavelengths. The healthcare provider will know which treatment is right for each condition and can customize the procedure according to the needs of each patient. It has an ultra-short pulse duration (one-trillionth of a second) and low to no downtime following treatment.

The treatment is versatile and can address several different aesthetic concerns, including:

• Acne Scars — Acne scarring is a common problem; as many as 40 percent of those with acne have some degree of scarring. Fortunately, PicoWay laser treatments can address this issue without the worry of exacerbation.

• Wrinkles — Millions of people seek treatment for their wrinkles every year, and many of them have tried multiple different treatment methods without much success. Wrinkles can be caused by a loss of collagen in the skin, and because picosecond lasers are proven to stimulate collagen and elastin production, these treatments can effectively ameliorate fine lines and furrows.

• Dark Spots — Skin discoloration, also known as dark spots or hyperpigmentation, is a common concern faced by millions of people, yet it is treatable. Dark spots, or benign pigmented lesions, appear in many people on different areas of the skin, from the face to the feet. Some spots are related to excessive sun exposure, while others are caused by hormone changes, a common problem following pregnancy.

• Tattoo Removal — Picosecond lasers can break down ink while leaving the outer layer of skin unharmed.

PicoWay laser treatments can achieve incredible and astonishing results, making them one of the most effective treatments currently available in the aesthetics industry. The reason it is so effective is that it uses a picosecond laser with high power and ultra-short pulses. These ultra-short pulses create a “photoacoustic” effect; this is important as it avoids heating the skin, which also prevents the side effects of photothermal approaches, such as downtime and scarring.

The time it takes to see results from PicoWay laser treatments depends on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, and the number of treatment sessions received. It takes about one to two weeks to start noticing results when treating things like loose skin, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles, but it may take longer, depending on the patient’s metabolism and aftercare.
