Benign Pigmented Lesions – Erase and Embrace Tattoo Removal

Pico Laser Facial In Temecula

HOW IT WORKS

PicoWay Resolve is an advanced picosecond laser treatment for skin rejuvenation in Temecula, CA.

Using precisely delivered microbeams, PicoWay Resolve targets the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the outer skin surface intact.

The treatment creates controlled microscopic areas within the skin that stimulate the body's natural production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this process may help improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and certain benign pigmented lesions.

PicoWay treatments are designed to provide skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, although the expected recovery and results vary from person to person.

If you're considering PicoWay Resolve in Temecula for acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation, or overall skin texture, a consultation can help determine whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin and goals.

Why Candela Picoway?

The PicoWay laser system delivers high peak power and ultra-short pulse durations for a photo-acoustic effect that transforms skin from the inside out. It treats benign pigmented lesions with 50% clearance after two treatments (96% of treated discolorations) across a range of skin types (Fitzpatrick II - V). Picosecond pulses minimize risk of side effects such as hypopigmentation and scarring that can often occur with slower, nanosecond lasers.
