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 more 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 procedure has been scientifically
proven to produce new collagen.
The Laser Genesis difference
The Laser Genesis procedure utilises 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 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 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 immediately return to normal
activities, utilising 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 moisturisers and, in some cases, you may
be asked to shave the area to be treated. Your laser specialist
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. Every
patient’s condition and needs vary. For more information
about your expected results or the number of treatments necessary,
consult your Skin Institute laser specialist.
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 laser specialist 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 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 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.
