What Is PicoWay?
PicoWay Resolve is more than just another laser treatment — it's a revitalizing journey for your skin.
Harnessing the power of advanced laser technology, PicoWay Resolve has been meticulously designed to invigorate collagen production within your skin and catalyze cell renewal.
This isn't merely about zapping away imperfections — it's about tapping into your skin's innate ability to heal, renew and glow.
The PicoWay device harnesses the power of ultra-quick picosecond pulses to address concerns like acne scars and wrinkles. Among its arsenal is the PicoWay Resolve treatment — a specialized technique that employs a distinct handpiece to divide the main laser beam into minute microbeams, providing targeted and efficient care.
PicoWay Resolve is versatile, addressing a myriad of skin concerns. Besides the notable benefits of reducing acne scars, refining pore size, and enhancing skin texture, this groundbreaking treatment is also effective for:
- Age spots
- Sun damage
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
PicoWay Benefits
While many treatments might offer a singular benefit, PicoWay Resolve brings a multi-faceted approach to elevating your skin’s appearance while targeting several conditions, including:
Acne Scars
Acne might be a fleeting problem, but the scars can linger. This treatment targets those tell-tale marks, reducing their visibility and allowing your skin to shine.
Pore Size
Large pores can be a constant battle. PicoWay Resolve works diligently to minimize their appearance, resulting in a smoother complexion that feels and looks refined.
Skin Texture
Are you craving that baby-smooth touch? This treatment aims to enhance your skin’s texture, giving it a supple, even feel.
How PicoWay Works at SkinDC
PicoWay Resolve uses ultra-short, focused laser pulses that target the dermal layer in the skin in a precise manner.
As the focused laser light hits underneath the skin, a microscopic explosion occurs creating a tiny injury to the dermal layer. Your skin heals this injury by creating new collagen and elastin, two key proteins for youthful skin.
Since PicoWay Resolve injures the skin via this rapid focused delivery of laser energy rather than heating the skin, the recovery is shorter compared to other laser resurfacing treatments.
The beauty of this treatment is its unique mechanism of action allows to treat patients of all skin types.
The magic of PicoWay Resolve lies in its adaptability. It’s suitable for individuals who:
- Seek noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture
- Want to address specific skin concerns like scars, or enlarged pores.
- Prefer noninvasive treatments with minimal downtime
- Have varying skin types, from the lightest to the darkest tones

What to Expect With PicoWay
Take a look at the journey of a PicoWay Resolve laser treatment and what you can do to ensure the best experience and results.
Before Your Procedure
- Avoid indoor tanning and direct sun exposure for at least two weeks prior.
- Ensure the skin is clean and free from makeup, lotions, or creams on the day of the treatment.
- If you have a history of cold sores, notify your clinician; a preventative medication may be advised.
During Treatment
The procedure, though powerful, is far from intimidating. Imagine the sensation of a tiny pin prinks against your skin — that’s the closest description to how PicoWay feels.
As the laser works its magic, you’ll experience a warm, slightly prickly sensation akin to the after-effects of spending a sunny day at the beach. It’s a gentle reminder that your skin is on its way to a fresher, rejuvenated state.
After Treatment
- Moisturize and protect the treated area with a gentle, non-comedogenic lotion.
- Use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect the skin from direct sunlight.
- Refrain from rigorous physical activities or hot baths for 24 – 48 hours post-treatment.
- Avoid exfoliating the treated area for at least one week.
