Pico Laser, Fraxel, and Geneo

Melasma and hyperpigmentation occur when excess melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color) is produced in certain areas of the skin. This leads to patches or spots that appear darker than the surrounding skin.

Common Triggers Include:

• Sun Exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production.
• Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, birth control, or menopause can trigger melasma.
• Genetics: Some individuals are naturally predisposed to pigmentation issues.
• Inflammation or Injury: Acne or eczema can leave behind post-inflammatory pigmentation.

While melasma and pigmentation are harmless, they often cause emotional distress. That’s why professional treatments like Pico Laser Melasma, Fraxel Laser Pigmentation, and Geneo+ are gaining popularity for their ability to deliver safe, lasting improvement.

1. Pico Laser for Melasma and Pigmentation

The Pico Laser is a breakthrough in laser dermatology that uses ultra-short bursts of energy, measured in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), to target pigmentation without damaging surrounding tissue.

Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, the Pico Laser uses a photoacoustic (vibrational) effect to shatter pigment particles into microscopic fragments. These are then naturally cleared away by the body’s immune system.

How Pico Laser works for pigmentation?

1. Targeting Pigment: The laser energy is absorbed by melanin clusters in dark spots or melasma patches.
2. Fragmentation: Pigment particles are broken down into finer particles.
3. Natural Clearance: The body’s lymphatic system gradually eliminates the broken-down pigment.
4. Skin Regeneration: The laser also stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, rejuvenated skin.

Key Benefits of Pico Laser Melasma and Pigmentation Treatment

• Safe for all skin tones
• Minimal discomfort and downtime
• Treats freckles, sunspots, and post-acne marks
• Reduces stubborn melasma effectively
• Improves overall skin texture and radiance

The Pico Laser for pigmentation is also ideal for treating deeper pigmentation that other treatments might not reach. Results are visible after a few sessions, with continued improvement as the skin renews naturally.

2. Fraxel Laser for Melasma and Pigmentation

The Fraxel Laser is another advanced solution for pigmentation and melasma. It’s a fractional non-ablative laser that works by creating microthermal zones in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response.

Rather than removing the entire top layer of skin, Fraxel Laser Pigmentation targets precise fractions, allowing the surrounding untreated skin to speed up recovery.

How Fraxel Laser works?

• Delivers microscopic laser columns that penetrate the skin.
• Stimulates collagen remodeling and cell renewal.
• Breaks down pigment deposits in the epidermis and dermis.
• Promotes gradual fading of dark spots, melasma, and uneven tone.

Benefits of Fraxel Laser for Melasma and Pigmentation

• Improves deep-set pigmentation and melasma
• Boosts collagen for smoother, firmer skin
• Minimizes fine lines and sun damage
• Suitable for face, neck, chest, and hands
• Noticeable improvement after 2–3 sessions

Fraxel Laser Melasma Treatment is particularly effective for hormonally triggered or sun-induced pigmentation. It restores brightness and even tone while enhancing skin texture and overall quality.

3. Geneo+ Facial for Pigmentation and Radiance

While Pico and Fraxel lasers target deeper pigmentation, Geneo+ offers a more holistic approach to surface-level dullness, uneven tone, and mild discoloration.

Geneo+ is an advanced 3-in-1 facial technology that combines exfoliation, oxygenation, and infusion to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out. It’s a perfect complement to laser treatments, maintaining brightness and glow while keeping pigmentation under control.

How Geneo+ works?

1. Exfoliation: Gently removes dead skin cells to prepare the skin for active ingredients.
2. Oxygenation: Triggers natural skin oxygenation through the Bohr Effect, improving circulation and cell metabolism.
3. Infusion: Delivers targeted serums such as brightening and antioxidant-rich solutions to improve tone and texture.

Key Benefits of Geneo+ for Pigmentation

• Brightens dull or uneven skin tone
• Reduces surface pigmentation
• Smooths texture and hydrates skin
• No downtime or irritation
• Safe for all skin types

Geneo+ is an excellent maintenance treatment after laser therapy, ensuring long-term glow and smoothness.

Both Pico Laser and Fraxel Laser are highly effective, but they work differently.

Here’s how they compare:

In some cases, dermatologists combine Pico and Fraxel treatments for comprehensive pigment correction and skin rejuvenation.

After Pico Laser Melasma, Fraxel Laser Pigmentation, or Geneo+, patients can expect gradual but noticeable improvements. Pigmented areas fade progressively as the body clears excess melanin and renews skin cells.

Post-Treatment Expectations

• Mild redness for a few hours to a day
• Gradual lightening of dark spots
• Brighter, more even complexion within weeks
• Continued improvement over multiple sessions

Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure, use broad-spectrum SPF, and maintain a good skincare routine to prevent pigmentation recurrence.

At CosmeSurge, dermatologists often combine these three technologies to achieve the best possible results for complex pigmentation cases:

• Pico Laser: To break down deep and stubborn pigmentation.
• Fraxel Laser: To remodel skin and correct uneven tone.
• Geneo+: To brighten, hydrate, and maintain long-term results.

This multi-layered approach addresses pigmentation at different depths, ensuring clearer, smoother, and radiant skin over time.

All three treatments – Pico Laser, Fraxel Laser, and Geneo+, are non-invasive, FDA-approved, and suitable for most skin types.

They are especially beneficial for:

• Melasma (hormonal or sun-related)
• Sunspots, freckles, and age spots
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation
• Uneven tone and texture

Temporary redness or mild peeling can occur but resolves quickly. When performed by experienced dermatologists, these treatments are safe and highly effective.
