What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a breakthrough laser treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural processes to reverse the signs of aging and sun damage and promote vibrant, healthy looking complexion. Micro-pulses of laser energy activate collagen remodeling to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and target unwanted brown spots and facial redness. Although the individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of a treatment series can be quite dramatic. The result is a glowing, camera ready complexion.
WHAT IS PICO GENESIS?
PICO Genesis is the latest aesthetic treatment to improve the appearance of unwanted freckles, sun spots and age spots - gently, predictably and quickly. PICO Genesis treatments will make your skin appear lighter, brighter, and more even in a series of two to three treatments.
HOW DOES THE PICO GENESIS TREATMENT WORK?
Everyone’s skin contains a substance called melanin. I t’s what
gives our skin its color. When melanin occurs in high concentrations, it can
result in brown spots and uneven skin tone. PICO Genesis uses laser light to
selectively shatter unwanted pigmentation and remodel the upper layer of the
skin to return balance + clearance + radiance to your skin.
HOW MANY
TREATMENTS SESSIONS ARE
REQUIRED?
A series of two to three 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.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
PICO Genesis
treatments are ideal for the face, hands and other areas of the body with
noticeable signs of sun damage and excess pigmentation.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AN PICO GENESIS TREATMENT AND WHAT DOES IT
FEEL LIKE?
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 f eel a sensation that patients often compare to an 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.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS?
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.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME ASSOCIATED WITH THE TREATMENT?
Although you may experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours
following the treatment, you can expect to return to your regular activities
immediately following the treatment.
