Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Dyschromia

In brief

This is an open-label, two-arm, histological evaluation study. Subjects in this study will be assigned to Arm 1 or Arm 2, taking into account skin type, to receive PicoWay fractional treatment: Arm 1: 532nm hand-piece Arm 2: 1064nm hand-piece Subjects will receive one treatment for peri auricular and/or Buttocks according the Investigator decision, with the fractional hand-piece All subjects will have biopsies from the treated area: * at baseline prior to treatment; * immediately after treatment (within 30 minutes) or 48 hours after treatment; * 2 months after treatment.
