PicoWay® Resolve is a fractional picosecond laser treatment designed to improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, and other signs of skin aging. At Erase & Embrace Tattoo Removal in Temecula, CA, PicoWay Resolve provides a customizable approach to skin rejuvenation with short treatment sessions and typically minimal downtime.

Unlike traditional laser resurfacing treatments that rely primarily on heat to remove or damage the outer layers of skin, PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond laser pulses and fractional microbeam technology to target the skin beneath the surface.

How PicoWay Resolve Laser Resurfacing Works

The PicoWay Resolve handpiece divides the laser beam into tiny microbeams that deliver controlled energy beneath the surface of the skin.

For wrinkles and acne scars, the treatment creates microscopic areas within the skin that stimulate the body's natural production of collagen and elastin. As the skin remodels over time, this process can improve the appearance of skin texture, acne scars, and wrinkles.

For pigmentation concerns, the PicoWay platform can use specific wavelengths and treatment modes to target pigment in the skin. PicoWay has FDA-cleared indications that include certain benign pigmented lesions and melasma, depending on the wavelength and applicator used.

What Can PicoWay Laser Resurfacing Treat?

PicoWay Resolve may be used as part of a treatment plan for several common skin concerns, including:

• Facial wrinkles and fine lines
• Acne scars
• Uneven skin texture
• Certain pigmentation concerns
• Benign pigmented lesions
• Signs of photoaging and skin aging
• Melasma, when appropriate for the individual patient and treatment protocol

Your provider will determine which PicoWay wavelength and applicator are appropriate based on your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.

Quick Treatments with Minimal Downtime

PicoWay Resolve treatments are typically brief, with Candela describing treatment sessions of approximately 15–20 minutes for certain applications. PicoWay's patient information also describes low to no downtime for many treatments, although the expected recovery can vary depending on the treatment performed and the individual patient.

Because PicoWay Resolve works beneath the skin's surface without intentionally removing the outer layer of skin, it can provide an option for patients interested in skin rejuvenation without the longer recovery associated with some more aggressive resurfacing procedures.

PicoWay for Acne Scars

Acne scars can create uneven skin texture long after active acne has resolved. PicoWay Resolve uses fractional picosecond laser technology to stimulate collagen and elastin beneath the skin, which may help improve the appearance of acne scarring over a series of treatments.

Candela reports clinical improvement in acne scars following PicoWay Resolve treatment. Individual results vary, and the number of treatments needed depends on factors such as scar type, severity, skin type, and treatment settings.

PicoWay for Wrinkles & Skin Rejuvenation

PicoWay Resolve can also be used to address the appearance of facial wrinkles and other signs of skin aging.

The fractional laser treatment stimulates a controlled remodeling response within the skin, encouraging the formation of new collagen and elastin. This process develops gradually, so improvements in skin texture and wrinkles may become more noticeable over time and with a series of treatments.

PicoWay for Pigmentation & Melasma

PicoWay offers multiple wavelengths and treatment options for addressing certain pigmentation concerns. Depending on the specific applicator and indication, the PicoWay platform may be used to treat benign pigmented lesions and melasma.

Because pigmentation can have different causes and some conditions can resemble one another, a consultation is important before treating a pigmented area. Your provider can determine whether laser treatment is appropriate and which PicoWay treatment may be suitable for your skin.
