Pico Genesis skin rejuvenation treatments are great for all skin types, especially for those suffering with Melasma.
PICO Genesis laser procedure takes an entirely new approach to the treatment of pigmentation issues and skin revitalization. This method combines the benefits of two highly effective wavelengths in ultra-short pulses to cause an intense, non-thermal, photo mechanical disruption and remodeling of the upper dermis.
What does this mean for you? A brighter, more uniform complexion in less treatment sessions than traditional methods.
Originally developed for tattoo removal, picosecond lasers are now being used for a variety of conditions, including skin toning, reducing hyperpigmentation, and building collagen. With virtually no downtime.

What are Pico Second pulses?
Picosecond pulses are ultra-short energy pulses – one trillionth of a second long – and are often used in skin resurfacing and rejuvenating procedures. While previous generation lasers delivered a pulse everyone thousandth of a second, the PICO Genesis laser procedure clears your skin by delivering picosecond pulses in a non-invasive procedure with very little downtime.
What to expect from a Pico Genesis treatment?
REDUCED ADVERSE AFFECTS
Thermal laser resurfacing runs the risk of various adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, and itching that can be intense and may last for several months. In addition, previous generations of resurfacing technology has led to bacterial, fungal, or viral infections, changes in skin color, and scarring.
Picosecond pulses leaves your skin looking radiant without the adverse reactions mentioned above.
LESS DOWNTIME
Thermal laser resurfacing generally takes 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the technique your doctor uses and the size of the area being treated. It is an outpatient procedure that is usually done in your doctor’s office. In addition to the time it takes to perform the procedure, it also takes about 1-2 weeks for new skin to completely cover the treated area.
Picosecond pulses involve minimal downtime, the treatment takes 20 minutes, and can be completed during your lunch hour.
