Introduction
Laser Genesis Skin Therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced
way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in both men and women.
Now you too can have a youthful appearance by treating those
conditions that are typically associated with premature signs of
aging, such as unsightly facial veins, redness and sun-damaged skin.
Laser Genesis is also FDA-approved for reduction of fine lines and
wrinkles.
What does Laser Genesis do?
Laser Genesis is a non-ablative procedure that can reduce visible
facial vessels as well as diffuse redness by gently warming the upper
dermis, improving the appearance of your skin. The result is a
healthy-looking and vibrant appearance.
The Laser Genesis Difference
The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes laser technology that can safely,
discretely and effectively treat small targets, like fine undesirable
facial vessels or vessels that cause diffuse redness. Unlike many
other treatment methods, Laser Genesis is a comfortable, non-ablative
form of skin therapy. This means you will be able to see subtle yet
consistent results after each treatment, without the unwanted side
effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Your therapy
can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of
general or local anesthesia, gel or cream.
What areas can be treated?
Unlike many other procedures available today, with Laser Genesis skin
therapy, your physician can safely treat your entire neck and facial
area if desired.
What are facial vessels or telangiectasia?
Telangiectasia or facial vessels are dilated capillaries that commonly
appear on the surface of the face and in areas around the nose, cheeks
and above the neckline. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that are
present throughout the body. Prolonged sun exposure, aging, trauma and
other factors can cause capillaries to become dilated and visible.
There is also a hereditary factor in developing facial telangiectasia.
Laser Genesis therapy will help your appearance by treating any
visible trace of these unsightly veins.
What is diffuse redness?
Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as
rosy cheeks. As with facial telangiectasia, this condition is a result
of dilated capillaries; however the appearance is more of general
redness rather than 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 therapy will help your appearance by gently
treating and reducing this condition.
What can I expect before the treatment?
There are no complicated pre-treatment rituals with this procedure.
Prior to 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 so as not to interfere with the
laser treatment. Your physician will review and assist with all
pre-treatment requirements.
How many treatments do I need?
The treatment results are often very subtle. On average you may
require 4 to 6 treatments in order to achieve the results you are
looking for. Every patient's conditions and needs vary. For more
information about your expected results or the number of treatments
necessary, consult Dr. White and her staff.
Is the treatment painful?
No, Laser Genesis is a comfortable, non-ablative, non-invasive
treatment. Unlike other laser treatments it does not wound the skin's
surface, therefore eliminating the need for complicated post-treatment
care. Typically patients describe the treatment as a gentle warming of
the surface. The treatment does not require any anesthetics, creams or
gel.
What results to expect after the treatment?
Immediately after the treatment you will experiences some minor
redness. The redness typically lasts only a few hours. Patients often
describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic, with visible
results that are subtle yet noticeable. You can expect to immediately
return to normal activities, utilizing sunscreen if participating in
outdoor activities.
What are the possible side effects?
Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most
commonly noticed might be a slight redness that disappears within a
few hours after the treatment. Consult
with Dr. White for complete information on the
benefits and risks of treatment.
Laser Genesis is FDA-approved for reduction of fine lines and
wrinkles.
