PICO Genesis Laser for
Melasma and Hyperpigmentation
At FCP Derm we have the only laser in the world that is effective for melasma and hyperpigmentation treatment on all skin types. In downtown Toronto we see skin of every colour. Our on-site lead Dr. Kristy Bailey, combined with the most advanced laser technology on the market allows us to cater to every skin type. The PICO laser is a type of laser technology that delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to the skin. It is called “PICO” because the pulses are measured in picoseconds, which are one trillionth of a second. This means that it can target pigment cells without damaging the surrounding tissue.
The PICO Genesis laser works by sending high-energy pulses of light into the skin, which are absorbed by specific pigments in the skin. The energy from the laser causes the pigment to break down into smaller particles, which can then be eliminated by the body’s natural processes. This process is also known as photodisruption. The PICO Genesis laser is used to treat a variety of pigment concerns and skin irregularities on patients of all skin types. PICO Genesis laser is extremely safe and highly effective, and due to its unique pulse duration, offers faster healing times and fewer side effects.

PICO Laser Treatment Overview
What is hyperpigmentation and why does it happen?
Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that occurs when patches of skin become darker than the surrounding areas. This happens because of an increase in melanin production in the affected areas. Hyperpigmentation can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, skin injuries, and certain medications. It can appear as small, isolated spots or larger patches on the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect people of all skin types and ages. Pigmented spots can give the skin an uneven appearance, showing signs of aging. The PICO Genesis laser is the only laser that can treat hyperpigmentation and melasma on all skin types safely.
