PicoWay Pico Laser in Gangnam, Seoul
Quick answer: PicoWay is a picosecond laser with four wavelengths (1064, 785, 730 and 532 nm) that shatters pigment into very fine particles using ultra-short pulses, limiting heat damage to surrounding skin. It treats sun spots, freckles, melasma (carefully), deeper pigment and tattoos. AMRED Clinic in Cheongdam, Gangnam chooses settings after EVE V skin analysis identifies the pigment type.
Why picosecond matters
Shorter pulses break pigment mechanically rather than by heat, so less energy spreads into nearby tissue. That lowers the risk of rebound pigmentation, important for Asian and darker skin types.
Pigment type first
A sun spot and melasma need very different settings. AMRED identifies each pigment before treatment. See hyperpigmentation.
