PicoWay Laserin Calgary

PicoWay delivers energy in picoseconds to break down melanin or tattoo pigment in the skin. It targets the deeper layers and leaves the outer layers intact, and the skin’s response allows new collagen and elastin to grow.

It is used for:

• Benign pigmented lesions and freckles
• Acne scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Tattoos

Dr. Guo’s clinical team performs PicoWay under his medical direction, selecting the wavelength and applicator best suited to your skin and concern.

PicoWay is suitable for most people, and for all skin tones and skin types.

It should not be used on cancerous pigmentation. Have any pigmented area confirmed as benign by a medical professional before treatment.

• Unlike traditional lasers, PicoWay does not heat the skin, which minimizes the risk of scarring and scabbing.
• No recovery period is needed, and you can resume daily activities straight away.
• Tattoo removal can be mildly painful. Treatments for wrinkles and pigmentation carry little to no discomfort.
• Side effects are generally limited to redness and swelling.

Results depend on the location, depth, size and type of pigmentation. In a clinical study, 87% of lesions responded well to PicoWay after 2 treatments, and milder pigmentation can improve after a single treatment.

Results vary from person to person and with the condition being treated.
