PicoWay Picosecond Laser Los Angeles

Most people are great candidates for PicoWay. It's especially ideal if you want to treat pigmentation, acne scars, melasma, or fine lines. It’s also safe for all skin tones, including deeper complexions. A consultation can confirm if it’s right for your goals and skin type.

PicoWay can be done year-round, but sun exposure should be minimized after treatment.

We recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding before starting PicoWay treatments. There’s limited safety data for laser use during these times.

Yes, PicoWay is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be safe, even for darker skin tones. Its ultra-short laser pulses minimize heat, reducing the risk of side effects like hyperpigmentation or scarring.

Most people experience mild redness or slight swelling immediately after the session, which typically fades within a few hours. Rare side effects may include temporary darkening of pigmentation before it clears.

Yes, PicoWay can be combined with other treatments like facials, microneedling, or RF skin tightening. We’ll guide you on the best treatment plan and spacing between appointments to get optimal results.

PicoWay results can last several months or longer depending on your concern and lifestyle. Pigmentation may return with sun exposure, so maintenance sessions and daily SPF are key to lasting results.

Results develop gradually over 2 to 6 weeks. Pigmentation often fades after one session, while texture and acne scars improve progressively with each treatment.

Most people see noticeable improvement in 3 to 5 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Deeper concerns like melasma or scarring may require a few additional sessions for optimal results.

Post-care is simple: stay out of the sun, apply SPF daily, and avoid harsh exfoliants or active skincare for a few days. You can return to normal routines right after treatment.

Most clients describe it as a mild snapping or stinging sensation. It’s quick and well-tolerated without numbing, though numbing cream can be used for sensitive areas.

Avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, and active skincare (like retinols or acids) for 5–7 days before your session. Come with clean skin, and we’ll take care of the rest.

There’s little to no downtime. You might be slightly red or feel warm afterward, but most people go right back to work or social activities the same day.

PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond pulses instead of heat-based energy. This makes it safer for all skin types, more comfortable, and better suited for treating pigmentation and scarring with minimal risk of irritation.

PicoWay breaks pigment into much smaller particles than traditional lasers, allowing your body to clear them faster. It’s also one of the only lasers proven effective for melasma, and safe on all skin tones without causing post-inflammatory darkening.
