Precision Pigment & Texture Correction
Picosecond Laser Technology Explained
PicoWay delivers laser energy in ultra-short picosecond pulses (one trillionth of a second). This shatters pigment particles and stimulates collagen remodeling with minimal heat damage, resulting in better clearance, faster healing, and safer treatment for all skin types.
01
Consultation & Assessment
Dr. Lanham evaluates your pigmentation or texture concerns, photographs treatment areas, and creates a customized plan. Most patients need 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
02
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed. Protective eyewear is provided. Topical numbing may be applied for comfort (though many patients don’t need it).
03
Laser Treatment
The PicoWay handpiece delivers rapid pulses of laser energy targeting pigment or stimulating collagen (Resolve mode). You’ll hear snapping sounds and feel light flicking sensations. Treatment takes 15-30 minutes.
04
Post-Treatment Care
Cooling gel is applied to soothe skin. Mild redness and swelling are normal for 1-2 days. Treated pigment may darken temporarily before fading over 1-2 weeks.
05
Pigment Fading & Texture Improvement
Shattered pigment is naturally eliminated by your body’s immune system over the following weeks. Collagen production continues for months, with progressive texture improvement after each treatment.
What PicoWay Can Treat
- Sun spots and age spots
- Freckles and hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles (Resolve mode)

Frequently Asked Questions
How is PicoWay different from other pigment lasers?
PicoWay uses picosecond (trillionth of a second) pulses vs. nanosecond (billionth of a second) pulses in older lasers. The ultra-short pulses shatter pigment more effectively with less heat damage, meaning better clearance, fewer treatments, and safer results for all skin types.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as light snapping or flicking, similar to a rubber band. It’s generally well-tolerated without numbing, though topical anesthetic can be applied if needed for sensitive areas.
Is it safe for my skin tone?
Yes! PicoWay is safe for all skin types, including darker tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). Traditional pigment lasers carry higher risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin, but PicoWay’s picosecond technology minimizes this risk significantly.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need 3-4 treatments for optimal pigment clearance, though some see significant improvement after 1-2 sessions. Stubborn melasma or deep pigmentation may require additional treatments.
What's the downtime?
Minimal. You may have 1-2 days of mild redness and swelling. Treated spots will darken temporarily before flaking off over 7-14 days. You can wear makeup immediately and return to normal activities right away.
Can it treat melasma?
Yes! PicoWay is one of the safest and most effective laser options for melasma. However, melasma is a chronic condition that requires ongoing maintenance treatments and diligent sun protection to prevent recurrence.
Will my pigment come back?
PicoWay permanently shatters treated pigment, but new sun damage can occur without proper protection. Melasma can recur due to hormones and sun exposure. Wear SPF 50+ daily and use protective skincare to maintain results.
Can it improve acne scars?
Yes! PicoWay Resolve mode uses a fractional lens to deliver energy that stimulates collagen production, improving acne scar texture and depth. This requires a series of 3-6 treatments for optimal results.
When will I see results?
Pigment lightening becomes noticeable within 1-2 weeks as treated spots flake off. Maximum improvement appears after 2-3 treatments. Texture improvement from Resolve mode builds gradually over 3-6 months.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks minimum. Wear SPF 50+ daily. Don’t pick at darkened or flaking pigment. Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and active ingredients for 1 week. Use gentle, hydrating skincare.
