Procedures During the Treatment

Your visit is designed to be simple, comfortable, and treatment will be done by our professional nurse team so you can feel confident every step of the way.
01

Consultation

You will first meet with a professional aesthetic consultant to discuss your skin concerns, treatment goals, and whether PicoWay® is the right fit for pigmentation, acne scars, melasma, or minor textural concerns.

02

Skin Assessment

Before treatment begins, your provider reviews your skin condition, recent sun exposure, and the type of pigment or textural concern being treated so the settings can be tailored appropriately.

03

Picosecond Laser Treatment

PicoWay® delivers ultra short bursts of light based energy into the skin to target pigment particles and support skin renewal. The treatment is designed to improve discoloration and refine texture with minimal downtime.

04

Recovery Guidance

After treatment, you will receive instructions on hydration, gentle cleansing, sunscreen use, and how to care for temporary redness, swelling, darkened pigment, dryness, or light flaking while the skin settles.

What is PicoWay®?

PicoWay® is a picosecond laser treatment designed to address unwanted pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and minor textural concerns. It delivers photoacoustic energy in extremely short pulses, making it a powerful yet gentle option for patients who want targeted pigment correction and skin rejuvenation across a range of skin types.

How Does the Treatment Work

PicoWay® works by delivering ultra short pulses of energy that shatter pigment into tiny particles without using excessive heat. The body then clears those fragmented particles naturally over time. This process can improve superficial and deeper pigmentation while also stimulating collagen and elastin to support smoother, more even looking skin.

Is the Treatment Safe?

PicoWay® is generally well tolerated when performed by trained providers using settings that are appropriate for your skin type, pigmentation pattern, and treatment goals.

A consultation helps determine whether your skin is suitable for treatment and whether recent sun exposure may affect timing. Temporary redness, swelling, darkened pigment, and light peeling can happen as the skin settles.

Expected Pigment Darkening

Treated pigmentation may look darker before it starts to clear. This is a common part of the process and usually settles as the skin renews.

Most patients find recovery manageable. Mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn like feeling may happen, but downtime is usually limited compared with more intensive resurfacing treatments.

The skin is more vulnerable to sun exposure after laser treatment. Careful sunscreen use and avoiding direct sun are important parts of safer treatment and more even healing.

BBL™ vs. PicoWay®

BBL™ is often chosen for broader colour correction when redness, sun damage, and uneven tone are the main concerns and a lighter treatment is preferred.
PicoWay® is better suited to more stubborn pigmentation, melasma, acne scars, and minor textural concerns when a more targeted laser approach is needed.
