1. What is PicoWay?
PicoWay is a state-of-the-art laser system that uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to treat a range of skin issues, including tattoo removal, pigmentation, and skin rejuvenation. Its innovative technology allows for more effective treatments with minimal discomfort and downtime.
2. How does PicoWay work?
PicoWay operates by delivering ultra-fast laser pulses to the targeted area. These pulses break down the pigment or skin imperfections into tiny particles that are naturally eliminated by the body. The picosecond pulses ensure precision and reduce the risk of heat damage to the surrounding skin.
3. What can PicoWay treat?
PicoWay is versatile and can effectively address:
Tattoo removal: All colors and types of tattoos.
Pigmentation issues: Such as age spots, sun spots, melasma, and freckles.
Skin rejuvenation: Improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated:
Tattoo removal: Typically, 4-10 sessions are needed, depending on the tattoo's size, color, and age.
Pigmentation issues: Usually, 1-3 sessions can show significant improvement.
Skin rejuvenation: Often, a series of 3-4 treatments is recommended for optimal results.
