Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis Skin Therapy uses advanced science to achieve vibrant, even skin tone and smooth texture in all skin types. The laser penetrates deeply into the skin where collagen is manufactured, stimulating an increase of new collagen production. Unlike harsher methods, this is done without destroying the upper layers of skin (non-ablative) and best results are obtained by doing a series of treatments. The Laser Genesis procedure safely and comfortably improves uneven texture, fine lines and large pores. The skin is gently warmed during this procedure, and daily activities may be resumed immediately afterwards. This is truly a rejuvenating experience with no downtime or discomfort.

How does Laser Genesis work?

Genesis skin rejuvenation employs laser light targeted to the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin, where collagen is made. The laser heats the dermis causing new collagen production that continues over time. The result is more even skin tone, tighter pores and a smoother skin texture. Laser Genesis also targets the tiny vessels beneath the skin surface, decreasing diffuse redness and ruddy complexions.

What is Laser Genesis used for?

Laser Genesis improves the skin's overall appearance, particularly on face, neck and chest, decreasing fine line wrinkles and restoring even skin tones. Laser Genesis evens out acne scarring and is particularly effective in combination with other treatments such as chemical peels. Genesis tightens pores and improves skin texture, smoothes ruddy complexions and diffuses excessive facial redness, including that caused by rosacea.

What will my skin feel like during and after my Laser Genesis treatment?

Laser Genesis produces a gentle warming during treatment that feels like the sun on your face at the beach. Many patients fall asleep during the treatment. Immediately following the treatment, the warm feeling continues for about thirty minutes. Many patients report a pleasant mild tingling feeling and a feeling of increased firmness for a day following the treatment.

How long after Laser Genesis treatments may I return to normal activities?

You may return to normal activities immediately following your Laser Genesis treatment and in fact, many of our patients have it done during their lunch hour. Most patients notice a healthy, rosy glow following Laser Genesis. Aftercare instructions simply include the use of sunscreen as well as consuming plenty of water. This is truly a rejuvenation procedure with no downtime.

How many Laser Genesis treatments will it take to get a good result?

The number of treatments needed depends upon the goal but usually a series of 8  treatments spaced 1 to 4 weeks apart is recommended. Results are generally seen after just one treatment, but a series of treatments is required for optimum results.

How long will my Laser Genesis results last?

One of the greatest advantages of Laser Genesis is that the results continue to accumulate after each treatment and continue far beyond your last treatment. In fact, accelerated collagen production continues following Laser Genesis, peaking at about 12 weeks after your last treatment. Because the natural aging process is of course continuing, it is difficult to state precisely how long results will last, but benefits seem apparent for at least a year. Sun protection and attention to skin care are necessary to maintain optimal results. In the case of acne scarring and rosacea, it is necessary to control the underlying condition in order to avoid further skin disruption.

How long does Laser Genesis take?

Genesis of the entire face is generally performed in less than one hour. Because the procedure is quite comfortable, no anesthesia or medication is necessary.
