Laser Genesis is a noninvasive skin treatment that utilizes laser technology to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and other skin imperfections. Because it is a relatively new treatment option, many people have a lot of questions about what the process entails. To shed more light on this subject, here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Laser Genesis.

What You Need to Know About Laser Genesis

How does Laser Genesis work?

During the procedure, a small handheld laser device is placed less than an inch from the skin's surface. The lasers oscillate as the device generates and delivers heat into the uppermost dermal layer of the skin. The heat has the potential to smooth out the minor imperfections that can cause skin to look prematurely aged or damaged.

Is Laser Genesis painful?

You will likely only feel a warming sensation on the areas of the face where the lasers are applied. However, you should feel any pain whatsoever. In fact, many people find the experience relaxing and calming.

How long before I see results?

While everybody is different, most people start to see results within three to nine weeks of the first treatment. Many people notice improvements with just three sessions of Laser Genesis, which are typically spaced two to three weeks apart.

Are there any side effects?

The vast majority of patients experience no side effects at all. Those who do report only a slight redness around the targeted area, and this usually disappears within a couple of hours of the procedure.

You can resume normal daily activities immediately after a Laser Genesis session. Taking care of the skin in the days following the treatment can help support its healing effects. Apply a cool pack to the skin every 10 minutes for up to two hours after the procedure. Moisturize with a light, unscented moisturizer, and refrain from using harsh chemical products on the skin.
