We use the Cutera Enlighten 3 for Pico Genesis which works especially well on darker skin tones. This laser is safe and effective on all skin tones. We recommend 1-2 treatments for all skin tones to remove hyperpigmentation such as melasma, sun damage, uneven skin tone, freckles, age spots, and red/brown spots.
Hello, thanks for your post! PICO Genesis is suitable for all skin types and tones and typically delivers excellent results when used properly. You should make sure that you seek PICO Genesis from a fully licensed healthcare professional with experience administering laser treatments. Try looking for a board-certified general practitioner, dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area who provides PICO Genesis.
