I've heard that Pico Genesis success rate is lower on people of color?

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. During your consultation with them, they will be able to give you an idea of the kind of results you may be able to achieve with this kind of treatment. Best of luck!

Actually, Pico laser targets melanin and has secondary collagen regeneration. This means, if performed correctly it works better in skin of colour as there is more melanin. This laser is one of the hardest lasers to perfect, as each patient will have a unique amount of target. The upside? Virtually no downtime. I have made a few videos on this laser with before and afters (YOUTUBE Davin Lim). I explain the physics and end points of this laser. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane, Australia.
