What Is PicoWay?
PicoWay is an FDA-cleared picosecond laser system designed to treat a wide range of skin concerns with precision and minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue. It can be used to improve the appearance of unwanted pigmentation, acne scars, melasma, tattoo ink, and early signs of aging.
At Elena Aesthetics & Wellness in Great Neck, New York, we use PicoWay to create individualized treatment plans based on your skin concerns, skin type, and goals. Before treatment begins, our team will walk you through what PicoWay can realistically do for your skin and what to expect from your recommended plan.
PicoWay is also known for its versatility across a wide range of skin types and tones, including medium to deeper skin tones that require a thoughtful, experienced approach to laser care. We are proud to offer this advanced technology to our diverse community in Great Neck, Nassau County, and Long Island.
Why Choose PicoWay?
Precision That
Works at the Speed
of Light
PicoWay's ultra-fast picosecond technology delivers powerful results with minimal disruption to the skin, making it one of the most versatile laser platforms available for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
Effective Across
Skin Types
PicoWay's picosecond energy minimizes heat buildup, making it a suitable option for patients with medium to deeper skin tones who have historically had fewer laser choices.
Low Downtime
Most patients return to their regular activities the same day or the day after treatment. PicoWay's gentle approach fits into real life.
Multiple Concerns,
One Platform
Acne scars, dark spots, melasma, fine lines, and tattoo removal — PicoWay addresses a broad range of skin concerns in a series of brief treatment sessions.
How Does
PicoWay Work?
Pigment Shattering
PicoWay uses ultra-short picosecond pulses to break unwanted pigment, dark spots, tattoo ink, and uneven tone into tiny particles that the body naturally clears over time.
Collagen Stimulation
For texture concerns like acne scars, wrinkles, and fine lines, the PicoWay Resolve handpiece creates precise microbeams beneath the skin’s surface to activate collagen and elastin renewal.
Gradual Skin Renewal
As the skin responds, it begins to rebuild from within, helping improve tone, texture, and overall smoothness gradually and naturally.
Minimal Heat, More Versatility
Because PicoWay delivers energy so rapidly, it creates less heat in surrounding skin than many older laser systems, making it a thoughtful option for a wider range of skin tones.
Skin Concerns PicoWay Can Address
Acne Scars
Improve textural irregularities and post-acne marks.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Support collagen remodeling for smoother-looking skin.
Dark Spots and Sun Damage
Target visible pigment and uneven tone caused by sun exposure.
Melasma
Thoughtfully address stubborn pigmentation with a customized plan.
Benign Pigmented Lesions
Treat select non-cancerous pigmented spots as appropriate.
Tattoo Removal
Break apart tattoo ink for gradual fading over a series of treatments.
What to Expect
Your Consultation
We review your skin concerns, goals, medical history, and skin type to determine whether PicoWay is the right fit. Treatment is scheduled separately after your personalized plan is created.
During Your Treatment
Sessions are typically brief, often around 15 to 20 minutes depending on the area. A topical numbing cream may be used, and most patients describe the sensation as quick snapping on the skin.
After Your Treatment
Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur and usually resolves within a day or two. You’ll receive aftercare instructions, including guidance on sun protection.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most skin concerns are treated in a series, while tattoo removal generally requires more visits. Your provider will outline a realistic timeline during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. PicoWay’s picosecond technology delivers energy very quickly, helping minimize heat buildup in the surrounding tissue, which is one of the main concerns when treating medium to deeper skin tones. PicoWay may be appropriate for a broad range of skin types, but your provider will evaluate your skin tone, concerns, and treatment goals during your consultation to confirm whether it is the right option for you.
Most patients find PicoWay treatments tolerable. A topical numbing cream may be applied before the session to support your comfort. During treatment, many patients describe the sensation as a series of quick snapping feelings on the skin. Sensitivity varies depending on the treatment area and your personal comfort level.
PicoWay is known for its low-downtime profile. Mild redness, swelling, or skin sensitivity may occur after treatment and typically resolves within a day or two. Most patients return to their normal routines the same day or the following day, depending on the area treated and the concern being addressed.
Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions following your session. In general, it is important to protect the skin from sun exposure, use gentle skincare, and avoid anything that may irritate the treated area while the skin is healing. Consistent sun protection is especially important when treating pigmentation concerns.
Many older laser systems operate in nanoseconds and rely more heavily on heat to break down pigment or stimulate the skin. PicoWay operates in picoseconds, delivering energy in ultra-short bursts that create a mechanical shattering effect. This allows PicoWay to target pigment and stimulate skin renewal with less heat in the surrounding tissue.
PicoWay may be an option for certain cases of melasma, but melasma requires a careful and individualized approach. Because melasma can be triggered by heat, hormones, and sun exposure, your provider will evaluate your skin and create a thoughtful plan that may include PicoWay along with strict sun protection and supportive skincare.
The number of sessions depends on the concern being treated, its severity, and how your skin responds. Pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and skin rejuvenation are often treated in a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Tattoo removal usually requires more sessions and varies based on the size of the tattoo, ink colors, depth, and age of the tattoo.
Some patients notice improvement after one session, but PicoWay results are typically progressive. Pigment clearance and collagen renewal take time, so visible changes often develop over the weeks following each treatment. Your provider will outline realistic expectations based on your skin concerns and recommended treatment plan.
No. Your consultation is a separate visit focused on education, evaluation, and treatment planning. During this appointment, we review your skin concerns, medical history, skin type, and goals to determine whether PicoWay is appropriate before scheduling treatment.
