What Is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a non-ablative laser to heat the dermis, the layer of the skin that is located beneath the surface. The dermis is responsible for the production of collagen – the protein in the skin responsible for structure. Laser Genesis effectively improves the overall appearance of the skin by creating a smooth, more even skin tone and decreasing fine lines.
Areas of the Body That Can Be Treated With Laser Genesis
This procedure is typically performed on areas of the neck or face. However, it can be performed on other parts of the body as well.
Number of Treatments Needed
The number of treatments that a patient needs will depend on the individual. Many people will notice amazing results with just one treatment; however, most people typically need between four to six treatments in order to achieve optimal results. Our medical team will recommend the number of treatments that is right for you during your consultation. The treatments are typically spaced between one and four weeks apart from one another.
Side Effects of Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is generally a very safe treatment that has very few side effects. Slight redness is the most common side effect, which typically goes away within a few hours of treatment.
How Long Does It Take To Perform Laser Genesis?
The amount of time that it takes to perform laser genesis can vary. It typically takes about one hour to treat the entire face. As no medication or anesthesia is necessary for this procedure, Laser Genesis generally does not take a significant amount of time.
What to Expect Before Your Treatment
If you are wearing makeup, then you will be asked to remove it before laser genesis is performed. You may also be asked to shave the area that is being treated. Our medical team will give you specific instructions on things you will need to do before your treatment.
Is Laser Genesis Painful?
Laser Genesis is usually well tolerated with minimal to zero discomfort. In fact, most people find the gentle warming sensation of the laser to be a relaxing experience. You will be able to return to your normal activities after your treatment has been completed, but patients are generally advised to wear sunscreen before spending a lot of time outside. You may also be encouraged to drink plenty of water after treatment is complete.
How Long Do the Results of Laser Genesis Last?
Laser Genesis can deliver long-lasting results, with some patients still experiencing rejuvenated skin after one year. Wearing sunscreen and adopting a skincare regimen can help maintain your Laser Genesis results over the long term.
