Laser Genesis Applications
Laser Genesis has a variety of applications in dermatology focused on improving the skin’s appearance. It can be used to improve skin tone and texture on the face, neck, décolletage and hands. It is noninvasive and non-ablative meaning it doesn’t damage the skin.
Primary applications include:
- Skin Rejuvenation: It helps in overall skin rejuvenation by improving skin texture and tone. It is effective in making the skin look more youthful and radiant.
- Collagen Production: Laser Genesis stimulates collagen production, which is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Increased collagen can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reducing Redness: It is particularly effective in reducing the redness associated with conditions like rosacea, as it can help diminish the appearance of small blood vessels under the skin by breaking them down.
- Treating Acne: Treatment reduces large pores and decreases oil production. Laser Genesis can help in treating active acne breakouts. Heating the lesions destroys the bacteria responsible to breakouts, which helps to reduce acne and prevent breakouts (1).
- Treating Acne Scarring: Treatments reduce the appearance of acne scars by treating the post- acne hyperpigmentation to restore natural skin tone and the new collagen works from beneath the skin to remodel the scars smoothing them out for more even toned and textured skin. The effects are permanent. (2)
- Minimizing Pores: The treatment can help in reducing the size of enlarged pores, leading to smoother skin texture.
- Treating Scars: It is used to treat scars, including those from surgery or injuries, and raised scars. Keloids and hypertrophic scars are characterized by diffuse redness from chronic inflammation. Laser Genesis is effective in reducing the appearance of redness.
- Improving Skin Tone: It can help in evening out the skin tone, reducing hyperpigmentation and making the skin appear more uniform.
- Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Laser Genesis can smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Studies report that Laser Genesis treatments on hand skin provide substantial improvement of hand skin wrinkles with
Each of these applications relies on the laser’s ability to gently heat the dermis, to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Results are cumulative.
