What Is Laser Genesis?
Do you have scars from acne or previous injuries? Are there red patches or broken capillaries on your nose, chin, or cheeks? Have you noticed fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots? At the Vein Care Center, we offer Laser Genesis, a skincare technology that just may be the answer to your concerns. Laser Genesis restores and rejuvenates the skin from underneath the skin’s surface, promoting flawless, clear, radiant skin. Let’s take a deeper look into Laser Genesis.
What Does Laser Genesis Treat?
Laser Genesis is primarily used to treat scarring (caused by acne, surgery, or burns), redness, and broken blood vessels (often a side effect of rosacea). It offers the added benefit of reducing fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, large pores, and age spots. The icing on the cake is the boost of radiance and firmness Laser Genesis gives the skin by stimulating collagen production. Laser Genesis can be used to treat any part of the body; however, it is predominantly used on the face, neck, chest and hands.
How Does Laser Genesis Work?
Laser Genesis is a non-ablative, Nd: YAG 1064nm laser used to treat the dermis – the middle layer of skin. In simpler terms, Laser Genesis does not wound the skin. Instead, it works by penetrating the top layer of skin and delivering thousands of micro-pulses of light to the dermis. These micro-pulses heat up the dermis, and the warming action shrinks blood vessels, breaks down scar tissue and stimulates collagen production. Laser Genesis leaves your skin free of scars, broken blood vessels and redness, with the added benefit of naturally increased collagen production.
What Can I Expect The Day Of My Treatment?
With Laser Genesis you can expect an easy, pain-free, and surprisingly relaxing hour at the doctor’s office. The treatment area will be cleaned to ensure your skin is free of any lotions or makeup, and eye protection will be placed over your eyes to protect them from the laser. You are now ready to begin Laser Genesis!
During your procedure, an experienced technician will move the Laser Genesis wand over the treatment area, in a continuous and repetitive motion. While the wand is moving over your skin, you may feel a slight warming sensation, but some patients report that this feels like a relaxing massage. After 20-30 minutes, your treatment is complete. Sunscreen will be applied to protect the newly treated skin from the sun. Now you are free to return to your busy schedule, with zero recovery or downtime!
What are the Benefits of Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis simultaneously creates a restorative and rejuvenating skin transformation, with results that include:
- Permanent removal of scars – Laser Genesis has given new hope to patients who thought they would simply have to live with their scars forever.
- Relief from severe redness, also known as rosacea – Patients may have tried to conceal their rosacea with topical treatments and makeup, without success. Laser Genesis decreases redness, eliminates broken blood vessels, and restores even coloration to the skin.
- A rejuvenating boost of collagen – Laser Genesis stimulates collagen production. As we age, our skin begins to decrease its production of collagen. The lack of collagen gives our skin a lackluster, saggy, aging appearance. But Laser Genesis counteracts the aging process by promoting cell renewal within the dermis, thus reducing fine lines, wrinkles, pore size, and irregular texture. Hello youthful, radiant, skin!
When Will I See Results from my Laser Genesis Treatments?
With Laser Genesis you can expect gradual, cumulative results over the course of your treatment plan. Treatment plans vary by patient, based on the size of the treatment area and severity of their skin concerns. A minimum of three sessions are typically recommended, with optimal results being achieved with ten. Dr. Aggarwal will assess your skin and determine the number of treatments that will give you the results you desire.
After your treatment plan is determined, you will return to the Vein Care Center every four weeks for Laser Genesis. While results for the treatment of scars is considered permanent, follow-up treatment is recommended yearly for rosacea, broken blood vessels, and to maintain anti-aging benefits. Note that long-term results of Laser Genesis vary by patient, the extent of your skin damage, and how well you care for your skin and body. Wearing sunscreen, following a daily skin care regimen, exercising, eating well, consuming minimal alcohol, and not smoking will help increase the amount of time between treatments.
Are There Any Side Effects With Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis treats and rejuvenates the skin underneath the surface, which means that the top layer, or epidermis, is not injured during the procedure. The most commonly reported side effect is mild, temporary redness of the treatment area, but this will resolve as your skin begins to heal from within.
How Much Does Laser Genesis Cost?
The cost of Laser Genesis varies by patient and depends on the size, severity, and number of areas you want to be treated. Doctor Aggarwal and her experienced staff will assess your skin, make a recommendation on the number of treatments needed to achieve the desired results, and advise you on the cost of your treatment plan.
How Do I Know if Laser Genesis is Right For Me?
Women and men of all skin types are good candidates for Laser Genesis. Patients choose Laser Genesis because they want to eliminate scars, acne scars, large pores, areas of significant redness (rosacea), or broken capillaries on their face, hands, or chest. However, if you have an autoimmune disease, scar easily, have active acne, or have used or are currently using certain medications to treat acne, you may want to consider alternative treatments. With her extensive training and experience, Dr. Aggarwal will assess your skin, discuss your medical history and desired results, and advise you on the treatment best suited to give you the beautiful skin you’ve been searching for.
