Laser Genesis
Gentle, Customizable Laser Therapy
Stimulate collagen, reduce redness, and improve skin texture with a single treatment. With Laser Genesis, patients can address a range of concerns via a single nonsurgical treatment option at our practice in Beverly Hills. This gentle yet effective treatment continues to surge in popularity among patients across Southern California.
What Is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a noninvasive treatment that gently heats the skin using a laser device. A key advantage is how it can work with almost all skin tones (when performed by a qualified specialist). Depending on your goals, we can adapt the treatment to address concerns such as:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Skin texture
- Acne and acne scarring
- Rosacea and facial redness
- Broken blood vessels
- Dark spots
How Does It Work?
The treatment works by heating the dermis (the layer under the outer skin). Your body naturally responds to this heat by producing new collagen, plumping and tightening the skin. This in turn also reduces wrinkles and liens. The heat can also be used to constrict blood vessels. This aspect helps reduce redness, rosacea, and even acne.
A treatment session takes about 30 minutes. During this time, your specialist will move the device (which looks like a small wand) over the treatment areas. You will wear special goggles the whole time to protect your eyes. Compared to other laser treatments, the experience is much more mild. You will feel a sensation of heat on the face, but some patients even find it pleasant.
What Are the Benefits of Laser Genesis?
- Convenience: Sessions often last only about half an hour, making it an ideal lunch break procedure. No required downtime means you get right back to your day.
- Safety: Generally safe with only mild, temporary side effects. It is safe for all ages and skin tones, opening it to a wide range of potential patients.
- Efficacy: Even a single session can make your skin look and feel more youthful (optimal results with a series of treatments).
- Comfortable: Treatment can feel almost like basking in the sun. No anesthetic or numbing is needed.
Laser Genesis FAQs
Is Laser Genesis right for me?
Laser Genesis can be a great solution for patients of all ages. We extensively consult with each patient before moving forward with the treatment. Based on your discussion, we can recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Some signs it could be right for you include:
- You want a gentler introduction to laser-based skin therapy.
- You have milder concerns (medium to severe may respond better to intensive laser treatments).
- You want a quick treatment with virtually no downtime.
How long does the treatment take?
A typical session lasts about 30 minutes. Many of our patients come in on a lunch break and are back to their routine within minutes. Treatment duration can be longer if you want to treat multiple areas.
When will I see the results?
Patients tend to get the most out of Laser Genesis about 4 to 6 weeks after a treatment. However, noticeable improvements can start as early as 3 weeks post-treatment.
Most patients will need a series of 3 to 6 treatment sessions to reach optimal results. Each session is spaced about 2 to 3 weeks apart to give your skin time to recover. After completing your regimen, you will only need the occasional touch-up treatment, spaced apart by about 12 months.
How long do Laser Genesis results last?
Despite being a gentler treatment, the results of Laser Genesis can last about 6 to 12 months. Result duration will be influenced by factors like patient health and lifestyle. For example, great skincare and minimal sun exposure will work to your benefit. Dehydration and excess UV exposure will work against you. We will provide you with key tips for prolonging your benefits between treatment sessions.
Is there any recovery period?
We cannot emphasize enough the convenience and gentle nature of this treatment. As one might expect, then, the recovery period is virtually nonexistent. You may have some warmth and redness, but this begins fading within hours for most patients. It completely fades for most patients within the first few days after treatment. Patients need to take no downtime. However, some extra consideration should be given to your skin for a few days. This includes careful skin care, sun protection, and following any aftercare instructions.
Is Laser Genesis safe?
Laser Genesis is one of the safest laser-based treatments available. It is generally safe for all ages, and it is open to patients of almost all skin tones. Still, we take time during your consultation to ensure it will be safe for your individual situation.
