Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are benign pigmented lesions?
Benign pigmented lesions are non-cancerous skin discolorations caused by an excess of melanin. Common examples include freckles, age spots, melasma, and café-au-lait spots.
2. How does the PicoWay laser treat benign pigmented lesions?
The PicoWay laser emits ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter excess melanin into tiny particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in a clearer complexion.
3. Is the PicoWay laser safe for all skin types?
Yes, the PicoWay laser is designed to treat various skin types, including darker skin tones, with a lower risk of side effects such as scarring or hypopigmentation.
4. How many treatment sessions are typically required?
The number of sessions varies based on the type and depth of the lesion. Some patients see improvement after a single session, while others may require multiple treatments.
5. What can I expect during the treatment?
Patients may experience a mild snapping sensation as the laser pulses are delivered. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, and the PicoWay system’s design minimizes discomfort.
6. What is the downtime after a PicoWay treatment?
Downtime is minimal to none. Some patients may experience temporary redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
7. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. These effects are typically short-lived.
8. How should I care for my skin post-treatment?
It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner, which may include avoiding sun exposure and applying sunscreen to protect the treated area.
9. When will I see results?
Improvement can often be seen after the first session, with continued progress over subsequent treatments as the body processes the treated pigment.
10. How long do the results last?
Results are long-lasting, though new pigmented lesions can develop over time due to factors like sun exposure. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
11. Who is an ideal candidate for PicoWay laser treatments?
Individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of benign pigmented lesions and achieve a more even skin tone are good candidates. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can determine suitability.
