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
