Laser Genesis can treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Large pores
- Acne scars
- Redness and rosacea
- Sun damage, age spots, discoloration
How does Laser Genesis work?
During a Laser Genesis treatment, your treatment provider will use the laser’s hand piece to direct infrared energy into the dermis, the skin’s deepest layer. The heat from the device causes these deep fibers within the skin to tighten, leaving skin looking firmer and smoother, while the collagen production handheld laser device is used to heat the dermis layer of the skin. This heat causes collagen fibers to contract and tighten, leading to a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles while stimulating new collagen production, which helps fade dark spots, improve the look of acne scars, and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. The thermal energy from Laser Genesis also breaks down the tiny broken capillaries in the skin that creates skin redness, including the flushing associated with rosacea.
What can I expect during a Laser Genesis treatment?
Before you’re treated with Laser Genesis, your provider will cleanse your skin. They’ll pass the hand piece over the treatment area, which will cause a warming sensation.
After your Laser Genesis treatment, you will not experience any downtime, but you may look rosy for a few hours after. Otherwise, you can return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment. In fact, this is a common treatment to book during a lunch break as it leaves the skin with a glow!.
How many Laser Genesis treatments will I need?
As is the case with most professional skin procedures, the number of Laser Genesis treatments a patient needs depends entirely on their skin condition and goals. On average, however, most people will require a series of four to six treatments to achieve optimal results. Treatments are typically spaced two to four weeks apart.
