Thank you for your question. PicoSure and PicoGenesis differ by maker. Both have 532 and 1064 wavelegnths. Our practice recently switched from PicoSure to PicoGenesis, and the results have been tremendous. With skin rejuvenation we suggest a series of 3 and one month intervals and with spot treatment up to 3 treatments. Their is no magic number, but we have seen significant change in doing it this way.
Hello! Thanks for posting -- this is a great question. While PicoSure and PICO Genesis do use similar technology, they are not identical treatments. They are created by different cosmetics companies and therefore the tools and some of the functionality is different. One of the main differences is that the PicoSure technology was among the first picosecond lasers developed, and initially these lasers were intended for tattoo removal. PICO Genesis was developed later but with natural skin pigmentation in mind, which makes it an ideal treatment for hyperpigmenation, melasma, redness or sun damage. Both treatments boast short sessions, minimal discomfort and little to no recovery time.The number of treatments you might need will vary depending on your specific concerns. WIth PICO Genesis, sessions are spaced two weeks apart; many clients see results after just one treatment, and five treatments is generally recommended as the maximum. With PicoSure, most clients need two to five treatments spaced two to six weeks apart. Both treatments can be customized to meet your needs; you will need to talk to your board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the right treatment and number of treatments for you. Good luck!

All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane, Australia.

Your experience is not uncommon and will generally resolve on its own in less than 2 weeks or sooner. The exact cause is not completely understood but is believed to be allergic in nature related to the breakdown of your pigment. The use of low dose topical steroids and oral...
I have seen astounding results with Pico Genesis treatments in my practice. I usually recommend 3 treatments spaced one month apart for patients who have not had previous treatments.
