Laser Genesis Photorejuvenation

Laser Genesis skin therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin. 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 lines and wrinkles. The Laser Genesis procedure has been scientifically proven to produce new collagen.Laser Genesis is a breakthrough, unique non-ablative YAG laser photorejuvenation procedure that provides multiple benefits. The therapy addressescommon skin conditions due to the aging process and the result is a healthier, younger-looking complexion. The laser treatment creates a gentle warming of the skin that patients enjoy, with truly no downtime.

In an article published by the Archives of Dermatology, Dr. David Goldberg used electron microscopy analysis to measure the diameter of the dermal collagen fibers after Laser Genesis treatment. There was a statistically significant decrease in the collagen fiber diameter caused by the production of new collagen—actually increasing skin firmness and improving skin texture.

Advantages of Laser Genesis

• All skin types may be treated—even during the summer—without fear of complications.
• No gel or anesthesia is required. Laser Genesis is definitely a lunchtime procedure.

The Laser Genesis Difference

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. Laser Genesis has received FDA clearance for the treatment of wrinkles such as, but not limited to, periocular and periorbital wrinkles.

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 general 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, utilizing 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 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.

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 physician.

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 Dr. Kwak 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 mmultiple treatments can be quite dramatic.
