Picoway is the world’s most advanced pigment and tattoo removal laser, and Dr Geetha Devi is an internationally acclaimed expert in Picoway treatments on Indian skin. In other words, treatment protocols are being created specifically for Indian skin, at Bright Clinic on a daily basis. And these are the treatment protocols followed the world over, when it comes to treating Indian skin types with the Picoway.
Picoway is the latest in the line of lasers, developed to remove skin pigmentation and tattoos. Pigment removal has been done so far, with a laser called Q switched Nd YAG laser. The important point to note that this laser, while being effective at removing pigment, created a lot of heat during the process – the photothermal effect. This was very effective for light coloured, Caucasian skin types. But for Indian skin types, this photothermal effect caused problems – either there was more pigmentation, or worse – there was scarring. This led to the evolution of a better way to break the pigment down. This is the photoacoustic effect. Using this, the laser was able to break or shatter the pigment without creating much heat in the process. This was truly a welcome step. However, the traditional lasers that are available in the market – the Q switched Nd YAG lasers, have much more photothermal effect than photoacoustic effect. So a new advancement, the Picoway laser was developed which would predominantly work using the photoacoustic pathway with minimal or no photothermal damage. Which is why it is possible today, to remove pigment without risking scarring or further worsening of pigmentation.
