PicoWay is #1 picosecond laser in the world.
Comprehensive non-surgical rejuvenation with a picosecond laser PicoWay is an innovative method that improves skin quality, restores youth and radiance. Rejuvenation using this laser device is one of the most effective methods of combating age-related skin changes.
The procedure makes it possible to solve several problems at once – in particular, perform rejuvenation, laser skin resurfacing, treatment of pigmentation, narrowing pores and smoothing wrinkles.
The PicoWay laser device operates on the basis of picosecond technology, which produces a deeper and more accurate effect than using other laser methods. The device is capable of removing not only the surface layers of the skin, but also stimulating the processes of regeneration and cell renewal deep in the skin. The device settings enable the doctor to approach each patient individually, setting priorities and amplifying the impact of the procedure on a particular problem.
The PicoWay system belongs to the category of photoacoustic lasers. It generates ultra-short pulses (one trillionth of a second).
The main difference between picosecond laser rejuvenation and ablative resurfacing lies in the fact that the pulses of the former are absorbed by cells almost instantly.
This action causes a powerful stimulation of cellular metabolism and other biochemical reactions in the dermal structures, leading to rejuvenation and strengthening of the skin.
PicoWay is the world’s first ‘cold laser’, which allows procedures to be performed at peak power without causing burns or other undesirable effects. After the procedure, slight redness is possible, which disappears on average in 2-3 hours.
Who is best suited for picosecond rejuvenation?
The PicoWay laser is an ideal option for those who do not have time for lengthy procedures with a long recovery period. The procedure with this laser is also suitable for people with a low pain threshold or sensitive skin.
Photoshop effect – procedure ‘PicoQueen’✨
The PicoQueen procedure or Selfie Rejuvenation is a signature procedure of picosecond rejuvenation that allows you to achieve outstanding results, as if you were using a filter in your phone’s camera. The difference between the PicoQueen procedure and PicoWay is only in the intensity of the impact.
What results does the procedure produce?
Radiance: healthy skin, smooth, uniform in color and texture, with a natural glow; Texture: smooth skin without fine wrinkles immediately after the procedure. The effect of PicoWay increases throughout the month; Lifting: by stimulating collagen production, the deepest layers of the skin are strengthened.
How does the picosecond skin rejuvenation procedure work?
The PicoWay laser generates and sends pulses under the skin that last a trillionth of a second. This is a hundred times less than the pulse of a ‘conventional’ laser. In such a short time, the tissues do not have time to heat up, which prevents burns.
The Resolve Holographic Fractional Head delivers energy in the following ways:
Stage 1
Pulses that last a trillionth of a second enter the epidermis (outer layer of skin). Plasma bubbles form between them – special states of matter.
Stage 2
In the dermis there are cells, named fibroblasts.
They are responsible for the production of the main structural elements of the dermis: collagen fibers and elastin fibrils, from which the 3D framework of the skin is built; molecules that make up the substance between the fibers of the dermis.
When fibroblasts are exposed to pressure extending from the epidermis, they perceive it as an injury. This encourages them to produce special substances – cytokines.
Stage 3
Molecules inform the surrounding fibroblasts that they need to begin synthesizing the necessary elements of the dermis.
Consequently, when exposed to the PicoWay laser, skin rejuvenation processes are launched without injury. This means that within a few hours the swelling and redness will go away, and you can return to your usual activities.

Benefits of undergoing the procedure at the Era Esthetic Avenue medical center.
The medical center’s specialists use the innovative American picosecond laser PicoWay Candela. Era Esthetic Avenue was one of the first to carry out this procedure. In addition, we have developed our own exclusive rejuvenation protocols. The exact program is selected individually for each patient and may include a set of complementary procedures.
After the procedure, there may be redness of the skin, as well as slight swelling, a feeling of dryness and tightness. Rehabilitation lasts no more than 24 hours.
This is not necessary, but for maximum esthetic and therapeutic benefits we recommend laser facial cleansing and skin nourishment with injection therapy.
The PicoWay laser system has all official permits and regulatory documents.
The duration of the procedure does not exceed 15-20 minutes.
The procedure can be performed on any skin type and body area.
After the first session, skin tone and elasticity will improve. But to achieve a sustainable cumulative effect, a series of procedures will be required.
The procedure can be carried out at any time of the year.
It is possible. The next day after the procedure, there will not even be any redness left on the skin. But we recommend undergoing rejuvenation with Picosure at least 10 days before an important event, and preferably a couple of months, so that by the right day there will be the most noticeable esthetic effect from the rejuvenation session.
Conventional lasers work by heating the cell and destroying it. Picosecond works on the principle of photoacoustic effect without heating, which eliminates the risk of burns.
