Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a procedure designed to help polish and perfect superficial skin revitalization concerns. This treatment helps to stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration processes to diminish signs of aging and sun damage, and promote a vibrant, healthy-looking complexion.
With no downtime, Laser Genesis is the perfect, gentle, non-invasive laser treatment that can be done all year round on any skin type to minimize fine lines, decrease pore size, increase collagen production, and improve scarring.
Known as a laser facial, it is the ideal treatment to achieve that even-toned, camera-ready, pore-less finish.
What to Expect
- Laser Genesis works by delivering micro-pulses of laser energy into the skin, stimulating the body’s own processes to activate collagen remodeling, and the heat from the laser also causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing redness.
- Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. You will experience a gentle warming of your skin’s surface during the procedure. You can immediately return to normal activities, utilizing sunscreen if participating in outdoor activities.
- Although individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of a treatment series can be quite dramatic, especially when added to other procedures. This treatment is ideal for those looking to improve their complexion for a beautiful, confident appearance.

FAQs
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 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.
What kind of 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. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
