PICO Genesis histamine responses can look similar to acne, but they’re just a short term flare & a natural part of the recovery process ✨
Post PICO Genesis, you may notice little red bumps on your skin, more noticeably on the cheek area. This is your histamine response kicking in & a normal way your skin may respond to the ultra fast, high energy pulses 🌟
PICO Genesis works differently to Laser Genesis, which is a low level vascular laser treatment with absolutely no downtime. 💓
PICO targets existing pigmentation so quickly that it causes a shockwave photo acoustic effect, shattering the pigment mechanically. The shattered pigment becomes tiny particles that are small enough for your body’s lymphatic system to clear away. 👌🏼
Unlike Laser Genesis, you can expect your skin to look a little bumpy/rash like & to feel a bit itchy for 3-7 days. Antihistamines will be your best friend during this time & can relieve this response within three days. 🎀
