Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser Genesis Skin Therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. Now you can have a youthful appearance by treating those conditions that are typically associated with premature signs of aging and sun damage, such as excessive redness, large pores, uneven texture, and fine line wrinkles.

The Laser Genesis difference

Laser Genesis works by gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin's surface. It tricks your body into thinking it has been injured so that collagen regrowth is stimulated. As we age, we lose collagen. Laser genesis helps us naturally rebuild some of the collagen we have lost, resulting in a more creamy, healthy complexion. Treatment is subtle after each session. Most people need five treatments to see the results they are looking for. Every patient's condition and needs vary. At your initial consultation, your laser specialist can give you an idea of what you should expect from the treatments. New collagen formation takes four to six weeks to develop! Be patient.

What areas can be treated?

Laser Genesis Skin Therapy patients report excellent results over their entire faces and necks. Additionally, practitioners may suggest this therapy to diminish recent scars on other parts of the body.

What is diffuse redness?

Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness, not discrete, well-defined vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea and it can be hereditary. Laser Genesis therapy will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.

What does the procedure feel like?

Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. You will experience a gentle warming of your skin's surface during the procedure as the laser handpiece is moved back and forth about 1/2 inch above your skin. You can expect to immediately return to normal activities, utilizing sunscreen if participating in outdoor activities.

What can I expect before the treatment?

You will not need to apply any gel, anesthetic cream or ice prior to treatment. Before the actual Laser Genesis treatment, you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated so as not to interfere with the laser therapy. Your physician will review and assist with all pre-treatment requirements.

What are the possible side effects?

Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment. Consult your medical professional for complete information about the benefits and risks of treatment.

What kind of textural improvements can you expect with Laser Genesis Skin Therapy?

Over the course of four to six treatments, Laser Genesis therapy can help restore your skin's youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a more creamy, healthy complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
