The Picoway Laser is indicated for removal of tattoos and removal of benign pigmented lesions (lentigines, Becker's Nevus, Nevus of Ota). The Picoway Resolve is indicated for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles. The Picoway Resolve is great for stimulating collagen and helping with the appearance of tone and texture.
Picoway is excellent at spot removal, removal of discolorations, skin tightening, collagen building and wrinkle reduction as well as the removal of tattoos. It is great at removing spots on the skin in the epidermis and dermis. It can be used to remove hemosiderin staining with leg vein problems, melasma, nevus of Ito and Ota, freckles, sun spots and other discolorations.
Picoway works for all the indications which have dermal/ epidermal pigmentation, which are responsive to traditional Q switched lasers. These include post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, nevi (Ota/ Ito/ Hori), melasma, lentigines and so on, and of course, tattoo removal. Only the Picoway is much faster and more powerful, in addition, the advantage in Indian skin, is the lesser potential for dyspigmentation (both hypo and hyper) with Picoway, as compared to the older lasers.
In addition to tattoo removal, PicoWay can also be used for reduction of pigmented lesions and for overall skin rejuvenation, including reducing fine lines and wrinkles, brightening skin tone, and improving texture. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist for a consultation to see if you are an appropriate candidate for PicoWay.
Currently there are only 2 wavelengths of light for the picoway. The third is in development. So soon, all colors of tattoos would be the indication. Right now red, yellow, orange, dark blue, brown and black are the colors I have been treating. Also there are studies and new FDA indication for pigmented lesions which would be freckles, nevus of ota etc. I would contact your local physician with a picoway as there are many things that I personally treat that are not FDA indicated.
