The Differences Between PicoSure, PicoPlus, and PicoWay

PicoSure, PicoPlus, PicoWay

are all picosecond lasers that are used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Tattoo removal
  • Age spots
  • Melasma
  • Freckles
  • Sun damage
  • Scars

However, there are some key differences between these three lasers.

PicoSure

  • Uses a 755 nm wavelength
  • Has a pulse duration of 75 picoseconds
  • Is FDA-approved for the treatment of tattoos and scars
  • Is the most expensive of the three lasers
  • Has a reputation for being the most effective at removing tattoos

PicoPlus

  • Uses a 755 nm wavelength
  • Has a pulse duration of 50 picoseconds
  • Is FDA-approved for the treatment of tattoos, scars, and melasma
  • Is less expensive than PicoSure
  • May be less effective at removing tattoos than PicoSure

PicoWay

  • Uses a 785 nm wavelength
  • Has a pulse duration of 45 picoseconds
  • Is FDA-approved for the treatment of tattoos, scars, and melasma
  • Is less expensive than PicoSure
  • May be more effective at removing blue and green tattoos than PicoSure

In general, PicoSure is considered to be the gold standard for picosecond laser treatment. It is the most effective at removing tattoos, and it has a good safety profile. However, it is also the most expensive of the three lasers. PicoPlus is a good option for those who are looking for a less expensive alternative to PicoSure. It is still effective at removing tattoos and other skin concerns, but it may not be as effective as PicoSure.

PicoWay can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Tattoo removal: PicoWay is one of the most effective lasers for removing tattoos, even those that are considered to be difficult to remove. It can also be used to remove tattoos in fewer treatment sessions than other lasers.
  • Age spots: PicoWay can be used to fade age spots and other brown spots on the skin. It can also be used to improve the overall appearance of the skin.
  • Melasma: PicoWay can be used to treat melasma, a condition that causes dark patches on the skin. It can also be used to improve the overall complexion of the skin.
  • Freckles: PicoWay can be used to fade freckles and make them less noticeable.
  • Sun damage: PicoWay can be used to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. It can also help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Scars: PicoWay can be used to improve the appearance of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars.

If you are considering PicoWay laser treatment, it is important to consult with a qualified and certified doctor to discuss your individual needs and to get recommendations for the best treatment plan for you. 

At Adora Clinic, we would be happy to answer any questions you have and schedule a consultation to discuss your individual needs.

Safety first! Choose a Certified LCP Aesthetic Doctor.

You often get what you pay for. Don't compromise your beauty and health for fleeting savings.

If you're contemplating a cosmetic medical procedure, always consult with certified and qualified doctors. Ensure your safety and rights. Many mishaps from cosmetic treatments can be avoided. While many claim to offer cosmetic medical services, not all hold an LCP certification.

What's LCP?

Letter of Credentialing and Privileging (LCP) in aesthetic medical practice in Malaysia. This is a certification that is required for medical practitioners who want to practice aesthetic medicine in Malaysia. To be eligible for the LCP, practitioners must be fully registered with the Malaysian Medical Council, have a current and valid Annual Practising Certificate, have a minimum of two years of clinical experience as a medical officer (or equivalent) after full registration, and be free from any disciplinary actions. Practitioners who pass the LCP assessment will be granted a Letter of Credentialing and Privileging, which allows them to incorporate medical aesthetic services into their practice and get registration into the national registry.

LCP Clinic

Adora Clinic stands as a reputable cosmetic clinic. Its leading aesthetic doctor Dr. Leong Moh Yiing, is LCP-certified and a fully qualified doctor.

According to local news reports, only a few hundred doctors in Malaysia hold the LCP certification. This implies that tens of thousands claiming to be “cosmetic doctors” are unqualified. The report highlights over 20,000 unqualified or impersonating "cosmetic doctors" operate unregulated in the market, potentially causing various health risks to consumers, including cancer and fatal consequences.
