PicoWay laser treatment of acne scars and pigmentation

Acne scars and pigmentation are prevalent skin concerns that can significantly impact self-esteem. Successful reduction of these lesions can be achieved through various dermatological treatments, one of which is short-pulsed lasers (with pulse durations in the picosecond range), such as with the PicoWay® laser system.

PicoWay laser for acne scars

The photoacoustic effect of picosecond technology offers a relatively higher safety profile for darker skin types, with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) compared to nanosecond lasers.1 With advancements in dermatological procedures, the outlook for reducing acne scars and pigmentation is highly promising, offering individuals the opportunity to achieve clearer and more even-toned skin across a range of skin types.
