What PicoWay treats
PicoWay’s picosecond pulses shatter pigment and tattoo ink into tiny fragments the body clears, and trigger collagen renewal. Because it uses less heat than older lasers, the risk of rebound darkening in Asian skin is lower.

Frequently asked questions about PicoWay
Can PicoWay treat melasma?
It can help, but melasma is a long-term condition. We combine gentle laser sessions with other treatments such as skin boosters, skincare and daily sunscreen, and plan maintenance to keep it controlled.
Is it safe for darker skin?
Yes. Picosecond pulses create less heat than older lasers, which reduces the risk of new pigmentation.
Will my pigmentation come back?
Sun exposure and hormones can bring pigment back over time. Daily sunscreen and occasional maintenance sessions help keep results.
Does it hurt?
Most patients feel quick snaps, like a rubber band. An air cooler is used during treatment, and numbing cream is available if needed.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need 3 to 6, depending on the type and depth of pigment. We give you a plan after your skin analysis.
What should I avoid afterwards?
Direct sun, scrubs and strong actives for about a week. Use a gentle moisturiser and SPF 50 daily.
Can PicoWay treat dark circles or dark lips?
Yes, when the darkness comes from pigment. Dark circles caused by hollowness or thin skin need a different treatment, which we will explain at your consultation.
Can PicoWay remove tattoos?
Yes, including most coloured inks. The number of sessions depends on the ink colour, depth and age of the tattoo, and we estimate it after seeing it.
