PICOWAY

The risk of pigmentation changes is higher in individuals with darker skin tones.

Skin Sensitivity and Irritation: Following the treatment, some individuals may experience temporary redness, swelling, itching, or a sunburn-like sensation in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few hours or days.

Scarring: Although rare, there is a slight risk of scarring with any laser treatment. It is more likely to occur when the laser is used improperly or in individuals with a predisposition to keloid or hypertrophic scarring.

Infection: While Picoway laser treatment is generally a sterile procedure, there is a minimal risk of infection. It is important to follow proper post-treatment care instructions and keep the treated area clean to minimize this risk.

Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: In some cases, the treated area may develop patches of darker or lighter skin than the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary but can be a concern, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones.

Bruising or Swelling: Some individuals may experience bruising or swelling in the treated area, especially if the laser energy is delivered more aggressively. These effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own.

Before receiving any Picoway laser at Allure Women's Healthcare clinic, a comprehensive consultation with one of our Registered Nurses is an essential step. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to openly discuss your concerns and desired outcomes with your practitioner.

Based on your individual needs, your practitioner will develop a personalised treatment plan and guide you through the entire process. They will explain how the treatment works, the potential benefits, associated costs, and any possible risks or complications. Additionally, they will provide you with post-treatment instructions.

. Avoid strenuous exercise, excess heat exposure, saunas, and steam room for 48 hours

.Avoid makeup for 24 hours

. No peels, lasers or facials for 2 weeks

. No active ingredients for 7 days

The time it takes to see the best results after Picoway laser treatment can vary depending on the specific condition being treated, the individual's response to the treatment, and other factors. In general, the full effects of Picoway laser treatment may not be immediately visible and may require multiple treatment sessions.
