PicoWay and PicoSure - The Hybrid Solution Laser

PicoWay laser is known for its incredibly fast speed and high peak power, delivering pulses of laser light energy in a time frame of just one trillionth of a second. It can effectively treat epidermal pigmentation such as freckles, age spots, sun spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. PicoWay is also effective in treating dermal pigmentation caused by hormonal changes, sun exposure, melasma, moles and tattoos.

PicoSure laser, on the other hand, utilises a different wavelength (755 nm) to target specific pigments with high precision. It is particularly effective in removing black, green and blue tattoos. Similar to PicoWay, PicoSure is suitable for a variety of skin types and can address different skin conditions. Additionally, the PicoSure laser can improve skin texture, tone and appearance, stimulate collagen and elastin production and reduce the appearance of certain acne scars.

Both PicoWay and PicoSure lasers utilise picosecond technology, which represents a significant advancement in laser treatments. PicoWay uses wavelengths of 532 nm and 1064 nm, along with additional adaptive handpieces with different wavelengths to address various pigmentation concerns. It emits one of the shortest laser pulses among picosecond devices, which enables an optimal photoacoustic effect. PicoSure, on the other hand, uses a laser wavelength of 755 nm, specifically targeting pigments with high precision.

Combining the strengths of PicoWay and PicoSure lasers through a hybrid treatment approach can provide a synergistic effect for more comprehensive and effective results. Together, they can target a broader spectrum of pigments, address different skin layers and depths, and be tailored to the specific needs of the individual. This combination optimises the treatment outcome and allows for a more precise and tailored approach.

When undergoing PicoWay or PicoSure laser treatment, a consultation with a qualified medical practioner is required to assess your skin condition and treatment goals. Pre-treatment preparation may involve avoiding sun exposure or certain skincare products. During treatment, short pulses of laser are delivered to the targeted area, which may cause slight discomfort but is generally well tolerated.

After the treatment, temporary redness and mild swelling may occur, but they typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Proper post-treatment care, including avoiding sun exposure, can minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in people with darker skin tones. One of the advantages of these lasers is the minimal downtime, which allows patients to resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

In conclusion, PicoWay and PicoSure lasers are advanced picosecond laser systems that offer innovative technology and versatility in treating various skin concerns. They provide precise and effective treatment of pigmentation disorders, tattoo removal, skin rejuvenation and acne scars. The hybrid treatment approach, which combines both lasers, can enhance treatment outcomes by targeting a broader spectrum of pigments and addresses different skin layers and depths, allowing for a more personalised and comprehensive treatment to suit individual needs. Under the guidance of a qualified medical practitioner, these lasers can provide safe and effective results for patients of different skin types and ages.
