Pico Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to support clearer, brighter and more refined skin, commonly used for concerns such as pigmentation, uneven skin tone, redness and overall skin quality.
Using the Enlighten SR Pico Laser, this treatment delivers ultra-fast picosecond energy to stimulate collagen production, refine texture and improve skin clarity. Pico Genesis is commonly chosen for concerns such as dull skin, enlarged pores, mild pigmentation, redness and early signs of ageing.
Outcomes vary depending on individual skin condition, and a personalised assessment is required to determine suitability and expected results.
Overview of Pico Genesis Treatment
Pico Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that focuses on improving overall skin quality rather than targeting a single concern. It is commonly used as a maintenance or entry-level laser treatment for clients wanting to support skin health, clarity and radiance.
At SM Aesthetic Lab, all Pico Genesis treatments are performed using the Enlighten SR Pico Laser, allowing for precise, controlled delivery of energy into the skin with minimal heat.
This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types when appropriately assessed and can be incorporated into a long-term skin plan.
A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin condition and goals, with maintenance treatments to support ongoing results.
How Pico Genesis Works
The Enlighten Pico Laser delivers ultra-short bursts of energy in picoseconds, creating a photoacoustic effect within the skin. This helps to gently break down pigment while stimulating the skin’s natural regenerative response.
Rather than relying on heat, this technology focuses on precision, allowing for controlled treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
At the same time, the treatment supports collagen production, which may improve skin texture, tone and overall skin quality over time.
Why Choose Pico Genesis?
- Non-invasive with minimal downtime
- Supports overall skin clarity and radiance
- Suitable for a range of skin types (when assessed)
- Can be tailored to individual skin concerns
- Ideal as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan
- Option to enhance results with Deluxe and Hydro combinations
Pico Genesis is often recommended for clients wanting consistent skin improvement without aggressive treatment approaches.
