PicoWay®, the BEST picosecond laser system

The authentic PicoWay® pico laser machine deliver stable, ultra-short, high-power Pure Pico™ pulses. This ultra-fast delivery produces consistent photoacoustic effect, shattering targeted pigments into the finest dust-like particles.

Pure Pico™ pulses is unlike conventional sliced Q-switched laser pulses used in older-generation devices. Pure Pico™ pulses is truly delivered with a stable high peaked pico-second pulses— a key reason genuine PicoWay® treatment outperforms imitation "pico" devices sometimes marketed around Ipoh and Malaysia.

Why PicoWay® laser has 3 wavelength system

PicoWay® utilizes 3 wavelengths — 532nm, 730nm, & 1064nm — allowing treatment to be tailored according to the type, color, and depth of the condition being treated.

  • 532nm targets superficial pigmentation such as freckles and sunspots.
  • 730nm is highly effective for certain stubborn pigmentation in the intermediate depth with reduced affinity to haemoglobin.
  • 1064nm penetrates deeper into the skin, making it suitable for deeper pigmentation, skin rejuvenation, & acne scars

Having all three wavelengths allows for more precise, complete pigmentation treatment — rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all pico laser approach, common at Ipoh clinics offering only a single wavelength.

What Skin Concerns Can PicoWay® Pico Laser Treat?

The FDA-approved PicoWay® pico laser system is a highly versatile, medical-grade picosecond laser utilized clinically to treat Melasma, Sunspots and age spots, Freckles, Hori's nevus, Nevus of Ota, Post-inflammatory pigmentation (marks left after acne or inflammation), Uneven skin tone & Unwanted tattoos.

Beyond pigmentation treatment, PicoWay® effectively targets deep acne scars, fine lines, & large pores.

The effectiveness of PicoWay® pico laser system is heavily backed by research papers.

PicoWay® laser — the safer pico laser for darker Asian skin tones

This significantly reduces the risk of heat-related side effects, allowing treatments to be performed with a high level of safety across a wide range of skin tones.

As a result, PicoWay® is widely regarded as one of the most advanced, stable, safest & shortest picosecond laser technologies available today.

Understanding PicoWay®: Revolutionary Pigmentation & Melasma Treatment

PicoWay® delivers ultra-short picosecond pulses, creating a photoacoustic effect that shatters pigment into extremely tiny particles. Unlike traditional lasers that rely on photothermal effects, PicoWay® minimizes heat, which is crucial to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or worsening of melasma.

We utilize different PicoWay® handpieces and wavelengths to target specific concerns:

  • 532nm for superficial pigment
  • 730nm for a mix of superficial and deeper pigment
  • 1064nm for deep pigment 
  • Resolve handpiece for acne scars, pores, and texture remodeling

PicoWay® effectively addresses conditions such as melasma, sun spots, age spots, freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), Hori’s nevus, Nevus of Ota, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, fine lines, and tattoos.

Why PIFU Clinic is Ipoh's Trusted Choice for Pico Laser Treatment

PIFU Clinic stands out as the premier destination for PicoWay® pico laser treatment in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. We use an authentic PicoWay® system with its original multi-wavelength platform (532nm, 730nm, and 1064nm). This ensures genuine results, unlike the questionable "pico-like" devices sometimes found in salons or centers using misleading marketing.

Our clinic is led by Dr. Sean Tan G.S., an LCP-certified aesthetic physician with extensive experience in dermatology and laser-based treatments. Prior to founding PIFU Clinic, Dr. Sean was instrumental in training new doctors at Dr. Ko HQ, emphasizing proper assessment before simply "shooting laser" and adopting conservative but effective settings.

Our goal is to achieve better long-term improvement while minimizing complications such as rebound pigmentation or excessive irritation, rather than just temporary lightening. We understand the aesthetic industry is often flooded with counterfeit devices and aggressive marketing. At PIFU Clinic, we are committed to providing transparent, effective, and safe treatments you can trust.

Is PicoWay® the right pico laser for you?

PicoWay® treatment is ideal for individuals seeking significant improvements in their skin. It’s also suitable for those with stubborn pigmentation who have tried other treatments without success, and individuals already committed to a proper skincare regimen but still unable to achieve their desired results.

Busy individuals looking for lower downtime pico laser rejuvenation and patients seeking genuine treatment results rather than just chasing promotional packages will find PicoWay® highly beneficial. However, if you do not follow a dedicated skincare routine, PicoWay® may not be the most suitable treatment for you.

It benefits those with freckles, sun spots, or age spots, as well as patients with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Selected melasma patients can also benefit after proper assessment.. The treatment is effective for birthmarks like Hori’s nevus or Nevus of Ota, and for acne scar patients looking for gradual texture improvement. If you desire smaller-looking pores, smoother texture, or multi-color tattoo removal, PicoWay® pico laser can be an excellent option. 

Your PicoWay® Pico laser Treatment Journey in Ipoh: What to Expect

Your PicoWay® pico laser journey in Ipoh begins with a thorough assessment by Dr. Sean to evaluate your specific pigment or condition. For your comfort, a numbing cream may be applied about 30–45 minutes beforehand, followed by a gentle face wash to prepare your skin. You will also be provided with protective eye goggles.

During the procedure, patients typically describe the sensation as small snapping or tingling feelings on the skin. Depending on your specific concern, different handpieces and wavelengths may be used:

  • 1064nm for deeper pigment and safer penetration
  • 730nm, which may produce red flashes during treatment
  • 532nm, which may produce green flashes during treatment
  • The Resolve handpiece for acne scars, pores, and texture remodeling

The treatment itself usually lasts around 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Expect a longer session if your pigmentation is scattered or the stubborn kind.

Immediately after treatment, it is normal to experience:

  • Mild redness or swelling, which usually resolves within 4 hours
  • Temporary darkening of pigment before it flakes off within a week
  • Slight dryness or roughness for a few days.

Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and comfort.

Why we don't recommend Nano second Q-switch NDYag Laser

Laser treatment for pigmentation is meant to remove unwanted dark spots, not leave pale ones behind. In our clinic, we have seen a number of patients who came to us, or returned after treatment elsewhere, with hypomelanosis (hypopigmentation): white or pale patches or tiny confetti-like dots where the skin has lost pigment.
