If you're exploring ways to rejuvenate your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration, PicoWay facial resurfacing might be the perfect solution. Using advanced laser technology, this treatment is designed to give your skin a smoother, more youthful glow with minimal downtime. At GloUp Beauty Studio in Tulsa, we often receive questions about PicoWay treatments, so we’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked ones to help you decide if it's right for you.

​

1. What is PicoWay Facial Resurfacing?
PicoWay is a cutting-edge laser treatment that uses ultra-short laser pulses to target imperfections in your skin. Unlike traditional lasers, the PicoWay device operates at a picosecond rate, meaning it delivers pulses in one trillionth of a second. This precision allows it to break down unwanted pigment, promote collagen production, and gently resurface the skin with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. It’s an excellent choice for treating acne scars, sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture.

​

2. How Does PicoWay Work?
PicoWay works by sending high-energy laser pulses deep into the skin. These pulses break down pigments responsible for dark spots and trigger the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of fresh collagen. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin. What sets PicoWay apart is its ability to target deeper layers of the skin while leaving the outer layer intact, which reduces recovery time.

​

3. Is PicoWay Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes, PicoWay is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. One of its biggest advantages is the precision with which it targets pigmentation issues without affecting the surrounding skin. Traditional lasers can sometimes cause hyperpigmentation or scarring in people with darker complexions, but PicoWay significantly reduces that risk.

​

4. What Skin Concerns Can PicoWay Address?
PicoWay facial resurfacing can address a wide range of skin issues, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Age spots and sun damage
Melasma
Uneven skin tone
Enlarged pores If you're seeking an all-in-one solution for clearer, smoother, and more youthful skin, PicoWay may be ideal for you.

5. How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed varies depending on your skin type and the specific concerns you want to address. Most patients see noticeable results after just one session, but for optimal results, a series of 2–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended. During your consultation at GloUp Beauty Studio, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs.

​

6. Is There Any Downtime After PicoWay Treatments?
One of the best features of PicoWay is its minimal downtime. While your skin may appear slightly red or feel tender immediately after the treatment, these side effects typically resolve within a day or two. Unlike other laser treatments, you can resume most of your normal activities right after the procedure.

​

7. What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
During the treatment, you’ll feel quick pulses of laser energy, which are often described as similar to the snapping of a rubber band. While some patients experience mild discomfort, most find the procedure very tolerable. A topical numbing cream can be applied to ensure your comfort during the session.

​

8. When Will I See Results?
Many patients start noticing improvements in their skin within a few days to a week after the first session, with continued improvement over time. The stimulation of collagen and breakdown of pigmentation occurs gradually, so your skin will continue to improve for weeks after each session.

​

9. Are There Any Side Effects?
PicoWay is known for its gentle approach, and side effects are typically minimal. After the procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or flaking, which usually subsides within a day or two. It’s important to avoid sun exposure after the treatment and use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin as it heals.

10. How Long Do the Results Last?
Results from PicoWay treatments can be long-lasting, especially if you take good care of your skin. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and scheduling occasional maintenance sessions will help keep your skin looking fresh and youthful. For some concerns like acne scars or hyperpigmentation, the results may be permanent, while for others, periodic touch-ups can maintain your glowing complexion.

​

11. Is PicoWay Right for Me?
If you’re looking for a non-invasive treatment to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and appearance without significant downtime, PicoWay might be an excellent choice. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals who want to avoid harsh treatments or surgery but still want noticeable, long-lasting results.
