What is PicoWay Laser?

PicoWay Laser is an advanced picosecond laser treatment that uses ultra-short pulses of energy to target pigmentation and support skin clarity, tone and overall skin quality. At All Saint Clinic Sydney, PicoWay is performed exclusively by our Aesthetic Doctors as part of a personalised treatment plan developed at consultation, offering a precise and considered approach to skin refinement.

PicoWay is a well-regarded option for patients seeking visible improvement in skin clarity and tone with minimal disruption to daily life. Whether it is right for you will depend on your individual skin concerns and goals, which is why we always recommend a consultation with one of our Aesthetic Doctors before beginning treatment.

PicoWay is supported by clinical evidence for picosecond laser technology, with patients typically seeing improvement in skin clarity, tone and texture over a course of treatment as the skin's natural processes respond to the laser energy. As with any clinical treatment, individual responses vary, and results are best supported by an appropriate treatment plan and professional guidance.

PicoWay uses picosecond, rather than nanosecond, pulse durations, delivering energy in trillionths of a second. This ultra-short delivery creates a photomechanical effect that works with less heat than many traditional laser systems, which may support comfort and a more considered recovery profile. Your Aesthetic Doctor can advise on how PicoWay compares to other options for your skin at consultation.

Most patients describe PicoWay as manageable, often likened to a mild snapping or tingling sensation. Following treatment, mild redness or warmth is common and typically settles within a short period, with most patients returning to normal activities the same day.

The number of sessions depends on your skin condition, concerns and treatment goals. Some patients see a visible refresh from a single session, while others benefit from a structured series spaced several weeks apart. Your Aesthetic Doctor will outline the most appropriate plan during your consultation at All Saint Clinic.

PicoWay costs at All Saint Clinic vary depending on the treatment area and your individual treatment plan. We recommend booking a consultation so our team can provide a clear, tailored recommendation and outline associated costs.

PicoWay is suitable for a broad range of skin types and tones, with its precise, lower-heat delivery supporting a more considered approach for individuals where heat-based treatments require additional clinical consideration. Individual suitability is always assessed during your consultation prior to treatment.

PicoWay uses picosecond laser technology to create a photomechanical effect within the skin, while BBL Laser uses broadband light to target pigment and vascular concerns through a photothermal effect. Both support skin clarity and tone, and the most suitable option depends on your skin concerns and goals. Your Aesthetic Doctor will guide you through the right approach at consultation.

Yes. PicoWay is one of our advanced options for pigmentation and uneven skin tone, using picosecond pulses to target pigment concentrations within the skin without relying on heat. This approach is a considered option across a broad range of skin tones.
