What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to boost collagen and elastin production to visibly improve fine lines, acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin tone. It can also help break up superficial pigmentation seen with Melasma. Well suited for all skin types, laser genesis creates an instant lift and gorgeous glow before an event. The aesthetic outcome can be combined with a number of other treatments to amplify results on the face, neck, decolletage and hands.
How does Laser Genesis work?
Laser Genesis uses a 1064nm wavelength laser that penetrates the skin’s surface without damaging it. The laser’s heat stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, it targets broken capillaries, minimising redness and promoting even skin tone.
Who is Laser Genesis suitable for?
Laser Genesis is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones, including sensitive skin. It is often used to treat concerns such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Large pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne and acne scars
- Redness, including rosacea
- Mild sun damage
However, it’s best to consult a professional to ensure it’s right for your skin.
Frequently asked questions
What does the procedure feel like?
The Laser Genesis procedure is painless for most people, with a mild warming sensation described as relaxing. No numbing cream or anesthetic is typically needed, making it a comfortable experience.
How long does a Laser Genesis session take?
A single Laser Genesis session usually takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. There’s no downtime required, so you can return to daily activities immediately.
How many treatments will I need?
A series of 4 to 6 treatments, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart, is commonly recommended for optimal results. However, the exact number varies based on individual goals and skin conditions. Some people choose to continue maintenance sessions every few months.
When will I start seeing results?
You may see subtle improvements after the first treatment, but more noticeable results typically appear after 3 to 6 sessions. Collagen production and skin texture continue to improve for weeks following each session.
Are there any side effects?
Laser Genesis is generally safe with minimal side effects, but you may experience temporary redness that fades within a few hours. More uncommon side effects include mild swelling or irritation, but these are usually temporary.
What kind of aftercare is required?
After a Laser Genesis treatment, it’s recommended to:
- Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily
- Avoid harsh skincare products, such as retinoids, for a day or two
- Keep skin hydrated and moisturised
However, there’s no significant downtime, so regular activities can be resumed right away.
How does Laser Genesis differ from other laser treatments?
Unlike ablative lasers, which remove the top skin layer, Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser. This means it penetrates the skin without causing damage, making it less intense and with minimal recovery time. It is also less aggressive than fractional lasers, which are often used for deeper skin resurfacing.
Can Laser Genesis be combined with other treatments?
Yes, many people combine Laser Genesis with other non-invasive treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or facials to enhance results. Always consult with your provider to see what combinations are safe and effective for your skin type.
Is Laser Genesis safe for darker skin tones?
Laser Genesis is generally safe for darker skin tones, as it uses a 1064nm wavelength, which has a lower risk of pigmentation changes compared to some other lasers. However, it’s essential to consult with an experienced provider familiar with treating various skin tones.
How long do the results of Laser Genesis last?
Results can last several months, especially with a series of treatments and consistent skincare maintenance. However, collagen naturally diminishes over time, so periodic maintenance sessions can help prolong the benefits.
If you’re considering Laser Genesis, it’s always best to consult a qualified provider who can tailor a treatment plan to your specific skin needs.
