PICO Genesis Laser
Dark spots that linger, redness that flares up, skin tone that shifts unpredictably. These aren’t just cosmetic concerns. They can influence how we feel and even the joy of going makeup-free. Conditions like melasma, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture often resist over-the-counter solutions, leaving many people searching for something that really works, without the recovery time or risks of surgery.
At Belcara Health, we offer something different. With over 30 years of experience and a suite of advanced treatments, including the revolutionary PICO Genesis Laser, we help patients restore clarity, balance, and vibrancy to their skin. Here, your well-being is the priority, and your care is as elevated as the results you’ll achieve.
PICO Genesis is a cutting-edge laser procedure for skin rejuvenation. It emits ultra-short picosecond pulses that penetrate the upper dermis, targeting discoloration, such as from sun damage, brown spots, acne scars, and pigment, without affecting the surrounding tissue.
Unlike traditional laser resurfacing or heat-based lasers, it avoids thermal damage, offering faster results with less risk and downtime. By gently stimulating collagen and elastin, PICO Genesis supports long-term improvements in skin texture, clarity, and tone.
It’s an advanced treatment that’s transforming skin care across Baltimore, with just one treatment yielding a visible glow, and a series offering extensive rejuvenation.
This advanced, non-surgical solution provides benefits for the skin, including:
Ideal patients are adults seeking to improve skin tone, texture, or pigmentation, whether from acne scars, sun damage, or mild stretch marks. Most skin types, from fair to deeply pigmented, benefit from this treatment. During a professional consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeon and aesthetic team assess your skin health, medical history, and intended outcomes. We’ll ensure we determine the right treatment plan suited to your skin type, sensitivity, and lifestyle.
Contraindications may include pregnancy, active infections, or photosensitizing medications. If you have specific concerns like active acne or recently tanned skin, we’ll recommend alternative or complementary procedures tailored uniquely to you.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Belcara Health. You’ll meet with our professional team, who will evaluate your skin health, define your desired outcomes, and map an individualized treatment plan. We’ll discuss how many sessions you may need and which services offer the best synergy, like combining PICO Genesis with microneedling or laser Genesis.
Prior to treatment, we’ll provide clear guidelines: avoid unprotected sun exposure, stop using retinoids or strong exfoliants, and adjust any sensitive medications. Prepping your skin helps maximize results and minimize redness or heat during your session.
When you arrive, we’ll review your care plan to make sure you feel confident and informed. A topical numbing cream is applied to reduce any discomfort. The laser sessions typically last just 20 to 30 minutes. You may feel a light snapping or tingling sensation as the laser glides across the skin, but most clients report only mild discomfort. Since it’s non-surgical and doesn’t generate excessive heat, there’s no need for anesthesia; just relax and let the advanced laser do its work.
Costs vary depending on the number of sessions, areas treated, combination procedures, and your skin’s unique needs. Your investment includes the laser treatments, topical numbing agents, facility fees, and post-procedure care in our Baltimore practice. We provide a clear breakdown during consultation, no surprises. Additional services like laser Genesis or tattoo removal may affect pricing, but offer valuable synergies. We’ll help you determine the right treatment combination to suit both your skin goals and budget.

Absolutely. When performed by trained professionals in our Baltimore facility, it is a gentle, FDA-cleared treatment with minimal risk of heat or damage to surrounding tissue.
Most patients experience visible improvements in skin tone and texture in one to two days, with continued enhancement over a month.
Typically just a few hours of mild redness; makeup can be worn the next day.
Results last several months to a year. Maintenance sessions help preserve your refreshed, radiant appearance.
We generally recommend three to five sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, though even just one session can yield noticeable benefits, especially when paired with other Belcara Health services, like laser Genesis or microneedling.
