Picogenesis

PICOGENESIS

What it is:
  • The latest aesthetic treatment to improve the appearance of unwanted
  • freckles, sun spots and age spots – gently, predictably and quickly.

What it does:

  •  PICO Genesis treatments will make your skin appear lighter, brighter, and
  • more even in a series of two to three treatments.
  • Laser light selectively shatters unwanted pigmentation and remodels the
  • upper layer of the skin to return balance, clearance, and radiance to your
  • skin.
How frequently may I receive Picogenesis:
  •  A series of two to three monthly PICO Genesis treatments are recommended to achieve an optimal outcome, and ongoing maintenance treatments are encouraged to sustain results over time.
  •  Your PICO Genesis provider will discuss a treatment plan during your consultation.
Where it can be used:
  • Anywhere you have noticeable signs of sun damage and excess pigmentation. Face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms, etc.
  • Safe on all skin types and colors
What to Expect:
  • Prior to treatment, your provider will clean the area. You will feel the tip of the laser device touch your skin.
  • As the laser energy is applied, you’ll feel a sensation that patients often compare to a electric rain sensation. Most patients do not find the treatment uncomfortable, but if you do, your treatment provider may apply a topical anesthetic.
  • Immediately after treatment, you may apply cold air or an ice pack for a short time.
  • You should keep the treated area out of the sun and/or apply sunscreen for protection. Your PICO Genesis provider may recommend additional follow-up care.
  • Most patients experience mild redness and swelling immediately following the treatment. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve in
  • several hours.
  • Over the course of a few days, the treated sun spots and freckles will become darker and flake off as they heal, revealing a new, even complexion.
  • Although you may experience mild redness and swelling for a few hour following the treatment, you can expect to return to your regular activities immediately following the treatment
