Pico Genesis

Pico Genesis is a laser-based treatment designed to reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone and pigmentation. It uses ultra-short pulses of energy to target pigment in the skin without damaging the surface, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types.

Real Talk

Pico Genesis is a non-invasive laser procedure that delivers rapid pulses of energy to help break down areas of unwanted pigment, such as sunspots or melasma. The treatment also stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, which may help with overall skin clarity and mild textural irregularities.

Pico Genesis may be used to treat:

  • Uneven skin tone
  • Benign pigmented lesions (e.g. sunspots, freckles, melasma, Hori’s naevus)
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Acne scarring
  • Hemosiderin staining (iron staining)
  • Birthmarks (Naevus of Ota)
  • Tattoo pigment
  • Enlarged pores
  • Fine lines

This depends on your skin type, the concern being treated, and how your skin responds. Some clients see visible improvement after a few sessions, while others may require a longer-term treatment plan. Your clinician will assess this during your consultation and develop a personalised plan.
