The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively treat
fine line wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, diffuse redness and scars. 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.

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 gentle 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 expect to 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 to apply any gel, anesthetic cream or ice prior to treatment. Before 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. Your medical professional will review and assist with all pre-treatment
requirements.
