Laser Genesis

Laser genesis is a non-invasive and comfortable procedure that uses a laser to gently heat the skin. It can help smooth the skin and reduce the look of fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles. Typically, its primary use is to fade scarring, redness, and broken blood vessels, and improve the look of rosacea.

Laser genesis works by heating the dermis directly under the skin; this stimulates collagen production, which plumps the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The heat from the laser can also constrict blood vessels, which helps fight redness and rosacea. It can also help treat acne and scarring.

Laser Genesis can be used to treat any part of the body; however, it is predominantly used on the face, neck, chest and hands.

The majority of patients report minimal to no side effects. The most common side effect of those reported is a slight redness in the treated area that usually disappears within 30 to 60 minutes following treatment. A possible side effect of a Laser Genesis treatment is reduced hair growth in the treated area.

You’ll be happy to know that Laser Genesis is a non-invasive treatment free of any pain or discomfort. Many patients say the experience is similar to sitting out in the sun and find it quite relaxing.

Laser genesis is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. Redness and slight swelling are the most common side effects.

The results of a Laser Genesis treatment will vary from individual to individual. However, most patients enjoy results which last between six and 12 months before follow-up treatments will be necessary.

In most cases, you will need at least three to six treatments to see results, and then approximately every 12 months you›ll need an appointment to maintain results. Laser genesis is an elective cosmetic procedure, but because there’s no downtime required, you should not need to take time off from work to get it done.

You don’t have to do much special preparation before laser genesis. Do not go tanning in the two weeks prior to your appointment and come to your appointment without makeup on and with clean, dry skin.

Avoid sun exposure and use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen to prevent further sun damage. Bruising, redness, and swelling may occur and resolve within time. Avoid heat, such as hot tubs, saunas, etc. for 1-2 days.
