Skin Treatment
Pico Genesis
Here is a before and after photo following just ONE Pico Genesis treatment.PICO Genesis is a highly effective laser treatment for the skin. This cutting-edge technology combines the benefits of three wavelengths delivered in ultra-short pulses, picosecond and nanosecond, to create non-thermal, photo-mechanical disruption and remodelling of the deeper layers of the skin.
In addition to general rejuvenation, the multiple wavelengths also enable customised treatments to target a number of different concerns such as superficial pigmentation, sun spots, melasma, acne scarring, ice pick scarring and much more.
The ultra-short pulse durations means amazing results can be achieved with much less downtime than traditional lasers with a far lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Results can be seen after the first treatment and the best results after as little as two treatments.
Pre-Treatment
- No sun-tanning or self-tanners 4 weeks prior to treatment – includes spray tans, tanning lotions, tanning beds, sun exposure, etc.
- Some medications or supplements may increase the risk of bruising. Consult with your clinician
- Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks prior to treatment (waxing, depilatories, etc.)
- Notify clinic with any changes to your health history or medications since your last appointment
- History of herpes or cold sores may require an anti-viral prescription prior to treatment
What to Expect
Upon arrival you will be asked to fill out a consultation form which will include questions about your skin type, medical conditions, previous treatments, etc. You will then have a private discussion with an experienced clinician who will assess your individual requirements, suggest a tailored plan and take you through the details of the treatment including pre-care and aftercare. This will also give you the opportunity to have any questions or queries regarding your treatment answered. Most patients are able to tolerate the treatment without much discomfort. The patient will experience a warming of the skin during treatment which many clients find relaxing.
Peace of Mind
We pride ourselves on both our knowledge and experience, but also on our thorough consultations that ensure we have all the necessary information to minimise the risk of complications. At Clinica Lase, you can be sure that your safety is our first priority.

Elli shares her personal skin concerns, what she does to manage them and the products she relies on:⠀
⠀
“As I am approaching 30, age management is definitely something I’m mindful of. I also suffer with a chronic skin condition called Melasma which is usually brought on by hormonal changes in the body and worsened by inflammation, it presents in the form of blotchy pigmentation. I also suffer with breakouts occasionally which is usually stress related for me (thanks 2020). To manage my skin, I take bestow beauty oil every single day in my smoothie along with Bestow collagen boost. It is so important to consider the internal factors when maintaining the health of your skin. I also exercise, drink plenty of water and try my best to manage stress levels which includes meditation, sound healing and making sure I surround myself with beautiful people. To cut to the chase, topically I use an array of products, but my absolute go-to’s would be Aspect Dr complete pigment plus (morning and night) and Dermaquest skin rebuilding serum. My absolute favourite treatments are skin needling and laser genesis but I also try to do peels and LED when needed”⠀

Our epiblading facial is a great option for those who are bothered by the “peachy fuzz” they get on their face. It is also a great deep exfoliation treatment as the sterile blade removes the hair and the dead cell build up. This creates a beautiful base for makeup and also allows your products to absorb much better!
