FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -  ENLIGHTEN PICO GENESIS

What is PICO Genesis?

PICO Genesis is an amazing aesthetic treatment to improve and maintain your skin’s health.  It eliminates unwanted freckles, sun spots, and uneven skin tone, to reveal a brighter and more even appearance in a series of 2 - 3 treatments.

How does the treatment work?
PICO Genesis uses gentle non-thermal pulses of laser light to target unwanted pigment and remodel the upper layers of the skin, helping to build much needed collagen.  Over time, the pigmentation will gradually disappear, revealing a clear and more youthful complexion.

What areas can be treated?

Although the face is the most common area that so many choose to have treated, any part of the body that shows visible signs of sun damage and aging, will benefit greatly.  In addition to typical hyper pigmentation from sun or aging, PICO Genesis is an effective way to treat the often unsightly characteristics of Melasma.  because Melasma is a hormonally driven condition, yearly maintenance is necessary to keep it under control.         

What can I expect during and after a treatment?

The sensation during a treatment can be described as a very warm electric rain. Compared to various facial treatments, PICO Genesis is a mild one.  Following a session, you may experience a bit of redness and warmth on the treated are that resolves within 24 hours. Any specific spots treated individually will darken and flake off as they heal, revealing fresh new skin. The broken down pigment from the “Global” treatment will  gradually fade over the next 2-3 weeks.

Is PICO Genesis right for me?

If you have pigmented or uneven skin tone, or simply wish to erase some undesired years that the sun and life have over time, bestowed upon you, you just may have found your new favorite friend....PICO Genesis! Call for more information, and pricing!
