Laser Genesis


Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser treatment that can reduce visible facial vessels as well as reduce diffuse redness in the cheeks, nose, and chin by gently warming the upper dermis. Laser Genesis treats wrinkles, large pores, skin texture, acne scarring and underlying redness in the skin. Sometimes referred to as a laser facial, Laser Genesis promotes healthy, vibrant looking skin. The procedure works well for men and women, and both benefit from it with no associated downtime, which makes it a very popular treatment all year long. The result is a healthy looking and vibrant appearance. Many like to have this procedure performed prior to an "event" to achieve a healthy, slightly plumper glow to the skin.

The Laser Genesis difference:
The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes laser technology that can safely, discreetly and effectively treat small targets like fine and undesirable facial vessels and vessels that cause diffuse redness. Unlike many other treatment methods, Laser Genesis is a comfortable, non-ablative form of skin therapy. This means you will be able to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment, without the unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Your therapy can be performed in a relaxed comfortable manner without the use of general or local anesthesia or gels.

What areas can be treated? Laser Genesis skin therapy can safely be used to treat your entire neck and facial area if desired.

What are facial vessels or telangiectasia and does Laser Genesis help?
Telangiectasias or facial vessels are dilated capillaries and veins that commonly appear on the surface of the face and in areas around the nose, cheeks, and above the neckline. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that are present throughout the body. Prolonged sun exposure, aging, trauma and other factors can cause capillaries to become dilated and visible. Hereditary can play a role in the development of facial telangiectasias. Laser Genesis therapy will help your appearance by treating any visible tract of these unsightly veins.

What is diffuse redness?
Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. As with facial telangiectasias, this condition is a result of dilated capillaries, however the appearance is more of general redness rather than 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 therapy will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.

What can I expect before the treatment?
There are no complicated pretreatment rituals with this procedure. Prior to 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 so as not to interfere with the laser treatment. Your physician will review and assist with all pretreatment requirements.

How many treatments do I need?
The treatment results are often very subtle. On average you may require 4 to 6 treatments in order to achieve the results you are looking for. Those treating scars will require 8 treatments for maximum effectiveness. Since every patient's conditions and needs vary, it is advised to consult with one of our staff members.
