PICO Genesis uses gentle non-thermal pulses of laser light to target unwanted pigment and remodel the upper layers of the skin. Over time, the pigmentation will gradually disappear, enhancing your natural glow.

PICO Genesis FX delivers ultra-short fractionated laser energy to create small, gentle micro-wounds in the upper layers of the skin to induce collagen stimulation and remodelling. With fractionated energy, the majority of the skin remains unharmed, resulting in faster healing time. With PICO Genesis FX, results can be achieved with a higher safety margin and less downtime than traditional fractional resurfacing treatments.

PICO Genesis treatments are ideal for the face, hands and other areas of the body with noticeable signs of sun damage and uneven skin tone. PICO Genesis FX treatments are ideal for the face, neck and other areas of the body with noticeable signs of aging, scarring, and textural imperfections.

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, glowing complexion.
