Laser Genesis Frequently Asked Questions

How is Laser Genesis different from other skin treatments?
The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes state-of-the-art, non-invasive laser technology to safely, discretely, and effectively treat fine line wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, diffuse redness, and scars. You can expect to see subtle, yet consistent results after each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Treatments can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of topical anesthetics or gel.

What areas can be treated?
Laser Genesis patients report excellent results over the entire face and neck. 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, as opposed to 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 that can be hereditary. Although laser treatments cannot completely remove rosacea, Laser Genesis will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.

What will I feel in a Laser Genesis treatment?
Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. During the procedure, you will experience a gentle warming of your skin's surface as the laser hand-piece is moved back and forth about half an inch above your skin. You can immediately return to normal activities, utilizing sunscreen if participating in outdoor activities.

How does Laser Genesis work?
By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin's surface, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen regrowth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness.

What can I expect before the treatment?
You will not need 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. Your physician will review and assist with all pre-treatment requirements.

How many treatments will I need?
The treatment results are often subtle. On average, you may require four to six treatments in order to achieve optimal results. Treatments vary by each patient's individual condition and needs. For more information about your expected results or the number of treatments necessary, please consult your physician.

What are the possible side effects?
Most patients report few, if any, side effects. Some patients experience a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment. Consult your physician for complete information about the benefits and risks of treatment.

What kind of textural improvements can I expect with Laser Genesis skin therapy?
Over the course of four to five treatments, Laser Genesis can help restore the skin's youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage, or scars. You will see a creamier, 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.
