PicoWay alternative in Busan

Do you have PicoWay in Busan?

No. PicoWay (Candela) is a picosecond laser with 1064, 532 and 785 nm and the Resolve fractional handpieces, marketed for the shortest pulses, stubborn pigment, tattoo ink of every colour, and texture. For pigment on skin, the picosecond 1064 and 532 nm passes are what work, and those run at Boom Dermatology on Picolo and PicoHi at ₩165,000 per session; the fractional Resolve pass is covered by PicoHi Fraxel ₩275,000 and Picolo Fraxel ₩330,000; and Helios Z ₩330,000 brings higher Q-switched power for pigment that has plateaued. The 785 nm wavelength is for green and blue ink, and tattoo removal is not a service we sell.

Every device in the table is performed by the doctor at our Seomyeon skin clinic, with shot counts and energy written on your record, and the price shown is the VAT-included price you pay.

Which PicoWay alternative is right for you?

Patients who ask for PicoWay by name want one of these; each has a device at Boom Dermatology. The consultation at our Seomyeon skin clinic is free when you proceed.

How much do the PicoWay alternatives cost in Busan?

Per-session prices for the platforms we use instead of PicoWay, VAT included; a course is three to ten sessions depending on the tier, each bought one at a time. Prices below are at Boom Dermatology, a skin clinic in Seomyeon, Busan.

Every laser device is compared on the Laser hub; the complete skin clinic price list is on the price page.

What happens if you message us about PicoWay?

Picosecond versus nanosecond: does the shorter pulse matter?

For consolidated pigment and ink, yes: the pulse arrives before the pigment can heat its surroundings, so it shatters mechanically into finer fragments with less heat in the skin, which means fewer sessions and lower risk on Asian skin. For diffuse tone it matters little, and a gentle Q-switched course does the job for less. At Boom Dermatology both pulse classes are on the list and the pigment reading decides.

Why would the doctor pick PicoWay for me?

The doctor would not, because we do not carry it; the question becomes which of our picosecond platforms fits. Picolo and PicoHi are interchangeable for toning; PicoHi has the dual protocol, Picolo the stronger Fraxel. Nothing in your skin can tell a Korean picosecond platform from PicoWay at equal settings, and the per-session price at our Busan skin clinic is the same either way.

Can it clear the pigment other lasers have failed on?

Usually, after a re-read: pigment that ignored toning is sometimes melasma, sometimes a lesion, sometimes consolidated pigment that needs picosecond power or Helios Z. Our Seomyeon skin clinic photographs it, re-reads it, and moves platform rather than repeating a session that failed.

What about tattoos, including the stubborn colours?

Not here. Multi-colour tattoo removal is the one PicoWay job we do not replace; a clinic set up for ink will serve you better, and we say so plainly.

What is Resolve mode, and what does it do for texture?

A fractional handpiece that focuses picosecond pulses into micro-zones under an intact surface, for pores, texture and shallow scars with a day or two of redness. PicoHi Fraxel and Picolo Fraxel are the same idea at Boom Dermatology in Busan, and pair with toning in the same visit.
