Toning vs spot mode — what is the difference?
Settings and recovery differ between targeted pigment treatment and texture treatment; the type, colour and area are assessed first.
AESTHETIC MEDICINE
PicoWay laser
Spots, uneven tone & acne scars
Very short laser pulses are used with different settings for pigment and skin texture. The device name alone does not define the treatment. The official page notes the device has Japanese regulatory and FDA approval.
How it works
Assess the type, colour and area of pigmentation before selecting a mode. Melasma or inflammatory pigmentation requires particular care.
Visits & recovery
Spot treatment may crust. Wider-area or texture treatment may need repeated sessions; recovery depends on the mode.
Risks & considerations
Redness, swelling and pigmentation changes may occur. Avoid rubbing, picking crusts and sun exposure; follow site-specific aftercare.
