Visible signs of ageing doesn’t just refer to fine lines and wrinkles. The more telling signs of ageing are age spots. Also called solar lentigines and liver spots, age spots are flat tan, brown or black spots. They usually appear on the face, shoulders, arms and hands — areas most exposed to the sun. They vary in size and are very common in adults older than age 50. With Australia’s harsh climate, we see age spots in clients much younger than this, with people seeking treatment as early as their thirties.
For people with dark skin types, treatment options are limited due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on darker skin. PicoWay is the leading technology for safe and effective pigmentation removal for all skin types and is the only choice for skin type III and above.
LEADING TECHNOLOGY FOR SAFE PIGMENTATION REMOVAL ON DARK SKIN TYPES
The PicoWay is the latest generation Picosecond laser skin pigmentation removal device. The PicoWay uses majority photo-acoustic energy, meaning minimal heat, therefore it is safe to use on all skin types, even darker skin types.
The heat from other lasers can stimulate post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) to form in skin types IV to VI, therefore normal lasers are not recommended for dark skin. You treat the present pigmentation but then cause PIH to form after the treatment. PicoWay is safe and effective for skin types that produce more melanin such as ethnicity backgrounds from Asia, Africa, South America and the Mediterranean.
