PicoWay | laser treatment in markham and north york

Pigmented spots can temporarily darken after treatment as the targeted pigment breaks down and moves toward the surface. The area may then become dry or lightly crusted before naturally flaking away. Avoid picking or scrubbing the treated area.

It depends on the type and depth of pigment. 3-5 sessions are usually recommended, although stubborn or deeper pigmentation may require additional sessions.

PicoWay has treatment settings for melasma, but melasma is a chronic condition that can recur. At Rejuuv, treatments are customized carefully and combined with consistent sun protection and an appropriate skincare plan.

PicoWay can be used on a broad range of skin tones, but settings need to be selected carefully to reduce the risk of unwanted pigment changes. Careful assessment and appropriate settings are therefore important.

Keep the treated area gentle and well protected while it heals. Avoid picking, scrubbing, exfoliating, or using strong skincare actives until redness, dryness, or crusting has settled. SPF is essential, and direct sun exposure should be minimized, especially during the first few weeks, to reduce the risk of post treatment pigmentation.

• PicoWay is so effective that you’ll have fewer treatments than with other laser tattoo removal options.
• There’s less pain than with other lasers because the pulses are very fast.
• The laser works on tattoos of all colors and on all skin tones.
• There’s less burning and scarring than with other laser options.
• PicoWay works well on tattoos applied by both amateurs and professionals.
• As with other laser tattoo removal options, you’ll need multiple sessions for complete removal.
• Results vary, and not everyone sees the results they want.
• Laser tattoo removal isn’t recommended for women who are pregnant or planning to get pregnant soon because the process can take a year (or more). If you get pregnant before your tattoo is completely removed, you should pause treatments and resume once your provider has determined it’s safe.

Picoway is offered in our Markham, Yorkville, and North York location.

PicoWay® is an advanced laser solution for the treatment of acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines, pigmentation, and even hard-to-treat melasma. Brought to you by Syneron Candela, this revolutionary technology boasts three wavelengths and uses ultra-short picosecond ( one trillionth of a second ) pulses to treat a broader range of skin types in fewer treatments and with greater comfort. PicoWay® can also treat all colors of tattoos.

PicoWay® delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses of energy targeted at unwanted pigment while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. These pulses break up the pigment into smaller particles that are more easily eliminated by the body’s natural processes. Because it emits less heat than traditional lasers, PicoWay® provides a more comfortable treatment with fast results and virtually no downtime. After treatment, patients may experience temporary discoloration or reddening of the skin surrounding the treatment site. Over a few days, the targeted lesions will darken and slough away. Adopting a pigment-regulating daily skincare routine that includes broad-spectrum sunscreen will be highly recommended to prevent subsequent spots.
