Science Behind
The Science Behind the PICO Genesis Laser
PICO Genesis laser is different from traditional high-intensity and heat-producing lasers. It is very effective in treating hyperpigmented areas.
This laser uses short pulses of the dual-wavelength (it combines two ultra-short picoseconds 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelength lasers) to break down the pigmentation, giving you an even-toned complexion without damaging the surrounding skin.
The non-thermal energy of the PICO Genesis laser also heats the deeper dermis layer of the skin and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
This helps plump up your skin and reduces signs of ageing, giving you a youthful appearance.
Since the PICO Genesis emits lower energy than traditional lasers, it causes minimal discomfort and downtime.
The overall result? Step out with glowing skin with minimal risk of side effects and complications.
Preparation
How do you prepare for a PICO Genesis procedure?
If you are all set to undergo a PICO Genesis laser procedure, you must begin preparing for it atleast two weeks before the set date.
We recommend our Hortman Clinics skincare regimen to prep your skin for this laser treatment.
Avoid sun exposure for around 2 weeks before the therapy.
If you are undergoing a PICO Genesis procedure for tattoo removal, ensure the skin is clean-shaven.
What Happens During PICO Genesis Laser Procedure?
Steps during PICO laser treatment:
- The target area is cleansed, and protective eyewear is required. A numbing cream may also be needed to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- The dermatologist will now apply the PICO Genesis on the target skin area to deliver ultra-short pulses of energy.
- When the laser is applied, you may feel a slight warmth or tingling. However, the procedure is largely comfortable, and you can relax.
- Each session with the PICO Genesis takes around 20 to 30 minutes.
Most people need multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. At Horman Clinics, our experts usually recommend one to five sessions spaced two weeks apart. This gives the skin time to heal and rejuvenate. The dermatologist will inform you if you require maintenance sessions after treatment is over.
What Can
What Can I Expect After the Procedure?
Follow your doctor’s post-treatment instructions to enable adequate skin healing. Here’s what you can expect right after the PICO Genesis laser therapy:
- The hyperpigmentation spots will darken, and the skin in the treated area will turn slightly red. These darkened areas will exfoliate, revealing lighter skin in the days after the procedure.
- Urticaria is common and responds well to common antihistamines. It will settle down in a couple of days.
- You may notice bruising or crushing right after tattoo removal. Rest assured, this is temporary and resolves by itself.

Most people require one to five sessions of the PICO Genesis laser, but the dermatologist will inform you about how many you require during your consultation appointment. Tattoo removal may require up to ten sessions, depending upon the colour, age, location, and ink density of the tattoo.
The preparation for a PICO Genesis laser procedure begins around two weeks before the treatment date. You are required to avoid sun exposure or use of tanning beds. We also advise our patients to avoid retinol and vitamin C before the procedure.

- Pigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles

The PICO Genesis is different from traditional ablative lasers:
- It does not rely on thermal energy and uses picosecond pulses to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
- It does not cause any damage to the surrounding skin.
- It is effective on skin lesions but gentle at the same time. It causes minimal discomfort and faster recovery.
- It is suitable for all skin types and tones, including darker tones.
You can expect to see an improvement in your pigmentation and discolouration concerns that lasts around six months to a year. While you can see visible changes right after the first session, it may take a few months for the complete effects to be evident.
