PicoWay\u2122 is an advanced laser treatment that effectively removes dark spots, wrinkles, acne scars, and unwanted tattoos. This non-surgical procedure improves upon past technology to give you better results with minimal downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How Does the PicoWay\u2122 Laser Work?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PicoWay\u2122 uses ultra-short, picosecond pulses of energy to target tattoo ink or natural pigmentation below the surface of the skin. These high-powered pulses will break up the pigment into tiny particles that the body can naturally clear away. PicoWay\u2122 is also used to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in your complexion, which offers you a younger, fresher look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How Is PicoWay\u2122 Different from Other Picosecond Lasers?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picosure was the first Picosecond laser device on the market, but it simply cannot compare to PicoWay\u2122. This advanced technology is three times more powerful, almost twice as fast, uses tri-wavelength technology, and has significantly faster recovery time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Two Distinct Treatments<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PicoWay\u2122 laser system can offer two distinct treatments depending on the style of handpiece used.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PicoWay Zoom\u2122<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The handpiece targets pigment in your skin. This unwanted pigment may be naturally-formed, such as sunspots, or it could be artificially added via tattooing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PicoWay Resolve\u2122<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The handpiece splits the laser into 100 evenly-spaced, identical beams. This treatment creates tiny spaces under the skin that your body will naturally fill with collagen and elastin.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Resolves a Wide Range of Skin Issues<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The years can be tough on our skin. Summers in the sun, winters without a good skin care routine, a regrettable trip to the tattoo parlor&#8230;Luckily, PicoWay\u2122 can turn back the clock and make these common complexion concerns fade away: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unwanted tattoos<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Liver spots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age spots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freckles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caf\u00e9 au lait spots<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stretchmarks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrinkles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Melasma<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scars<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Safe for More Skin Types<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, people with darker skin types who received laser treatment could develop dark spots or light spots because too much energy was absorbed into their skin. The PicoWay\u2122 laser, on the other hand, is safe for a broad range of skin types. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This cutting-edge treatment is a fractional laser. That means that it only affects a fraction of your skin while leaving the healthy cells around the treated area completely unharmed. This laser also operates at three different wavelengths of energy, with options that are less likely to absorbed by your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Causes Minimal Downtime<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This treatment\u2019s ultra-short pulses provide a photoacoustic effect instead of a photothermal effect. These pulses will not heat the skin, which prevents unwanted side effects like downtime and scarring. PicoWay\u2122 will also leave the outer layer of skin completely unharmed. Within one day of treatment, you can resume your normal daily activities \u2014 including applying makeup on the treated area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Treats Issues Fast<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PicoWay\u2122 laser treatments are fast, typically lasting less than 30 minutes. Your appointment is so quick that you can schedule it during your lunch break. Plus, the laser\u2019s effects are so subtle that no one would guess you ever received a cosmetic procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Requires Fewer Treatments<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some skin issues will be resolved in a single appointment, while others require multiple office visits for the best results. The exact number of treatments will vary based on your unique needs, but you can expect to see results in less time than with other laser options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>More Comfortable for Patients<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since less heat is transferred into your skin, your procedure will be fairly comfortable. Patients who receive PicoWay Resolve\u2122 generally report little to no discomfort, while those undergoing tattoo removal report a higher level of discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Faster Tattoo Clearance<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before PicoWay\u2122 was developed, tattoo removal was primarily done with Q-Switched or Nanosecond lasers. These lasers delivered energy for only a billionth of a second and could not reach ink in the deeper levels of patients\u2019 skin. Q-Switched lasers require 12 to 15 treatments over a period of 12 to 18 months to clear a black tattoo. In contrast, the PicoWay\u2122 laser can remove tattoos in just 6 to 8 treatments over a 5 to 6 month period. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Targets All Tattoo Colors<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different colors of tattoo ink respond best to different wavelengths of energy. With other laser tattoo removal methods, this can lead to uneven clearance as certain colors fade away and others remain visible. PicoWay\u2122 can deliver different wavelengths, however, which will tackle even tough-to-treat blue and green tattoos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>One Thing Is Just About the Same: The Price!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you receive a series of PicoWay\u2122 laser tattoo removal or skin rejuvenation treatments at Premier Plastic Surgery, you can expect significantly better results at a similar price point to other laser treatments. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why Choose Premier Plastic Surgery?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are interested in PicoWay\u2122, &nbsp;the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierplasticsurgerypa.com\/medi-spa-pittsburgh\/hair-loss\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best hair treatment for hair loss in Pittsburgh<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or one of our other cosmetic procedures, our goal is to restore your confidence.
