Pico Genesis

Picosecond laser technology that corrects pigmentation and revitalizes skin tone in fewer sessions than traditional lasers.

What Is Pico Genesis?

Pico Genesis uses ultra-short picosecond laser pulses to break down pigment particles and stimulate dermal remodeling. The treatment combines two wavelengths to target both superficial and deep pigmentation, producing a brighter, more uniform complexion.

It is effective for brown spots, sun damage, age spots, melasma, and general skin revitalization. Because it works through photomechanical disruption rather than heat, there is minimal downtime.

Why Patients Choose Auveau

Pico Genesis is safe for all skin types, including darker tones that may not respond well to IPL. Chrissy Gray Lim, PA-C, selects the optimal wavelength combination for your specific pigmentation type.

Most patients see visible improvement in fewer sessions than with traditional pigment-targeting lasers. The lightning-fast pulses minimize the risk of scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
