Everyone’s skin contains a substance called melanin. It’s what gives our skin its color. When melanin occurs in high concentrations, it can result in brown spots and uneven skin tone. Another form of hyperpigmentation is melasma. Melasma typically occurs as a result of hormonal changes, such as pregnancy. Melasma can be worsened by light laser or some heat laser treatments, which is why lasers are traditionally risky for a person dealing with melasma. The PICO Genesis now offers those with melasma and other pigment issues a safe, effective option.
PICO Genesis uses higher peak power with a strong, non-thermal, photomechanical effect to shatter the pigment without causing thermal damage to the surrounding tissue. The Pico Genesis offers two highly effective laser wavelengths that treat problematic skin conditions without disrupting the dermis or skin surface.
