Laser Genesis
What It Is
Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser treatment that uses infrared light to gently heat the deeper layers of skin without removing the surface. The procedure stimulates collagen production and can help improve rosacea, reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, and soften fine lines. Multiple sessions are typically recommended to achieve and maintain results.
Good Candidates
Laser Genesis works best for people with fair to medium skin tones and concerns like mild to moderate rosacea, visible pores, or fine lines. Those with active skin infections, certain medications, or darker skin may need to consult a qualified provider to assess suitability.
What to Expect
The procedure involves passing a laser handpiece over the target area in a systematic pattern. Most people describe the sensation as warm but not painful, though comfort varies by individual. A typical session lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
Recovery and Aftercare
There is typically no downtime. Skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after treatment, which usually resolves within a few hours. A broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended in the days following.
Results and Longevity
Improvements often appear gradually over several weeks as collagen rebuilds. Results tend to improve with a series of treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions are generally needed to sustain benefits.
