Dr K and his entire team were incredible. They answered all of my questions, got right back to me every time I reached out and were beyond friendly. The front desk made me feel welcome, Dr K was professional, caring and precise. The nurses and other medical personnel were wonderful too. Overall 100 stars, highly recommend.

The office is immaculate. I’m always greeted with a smile and everyone remembers my name!! I’m usually in and out of the office, not like usual doctors’ offices where you sit and wait and wait. They get you in, they do their thing, answer all your questions, and send you on your way.

Who is a Good Candidate for Treatment with Picoway?

Those who have unwanted tattoos or just want to fade the appearance of dark spots such as freckles, sun spots, age spots, and other pigmented lesions can benefit from treatment with the Picoway laser system. Picoway can also improve the appearance of scarring and reduce wrinkles for stronger, healthier skin. The Picoway laser system is safe for all skin types and colors and can be used virtually anywhere on the face or body.

Recognized for its versatility, Picoway is highly effective in reducing skin blemishes and hyperpigmentation in common areas like the arms, legs, and back

What Happens During Picoway Treatment?

Prior to treatment with Picoway laser, your treatment area will be cleaned and applied with a cooling gel to protect the skin and optimize your treatment. Next, the Picoway laser handpiece will be passed over the treatment area, delivering very quick bursts of laser light to break up pigment. Patients report a snapping sensation with each laser light pulse, however, a cooling system will help to maximize your comfort and protect your skin from overheating.

What Results Can I Expect?

The Picoway laser system passes through the skin to target deep layers, but leaves the surface of your skin intact, resulting in little downtime after treatment. Your skin my appear red and swollen in the days following your treatment session, but discomfort can be improved with an ice pack and anti-inflammatory ointment. You should use sun protection during your healing process to avoid pigmentation changes.

Several treatment sessions will be required for optimal improvement with the Picoway laser system. The exact number of sessions you will need will depend on the extend of your concerns. After optimal treatment sessions, you can expect tattoos or pigment to be greatly faded, with an even skin tone that continues to improve over the next several months.
