from the Summer 2009 issue
Laser Genesis is an effective, affordable treatment specifically designed for our patients just beginning to experience common skin problems, such as enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Laser Genesis works gently and safely, heating the upper dermis below your skin’s surface to stimulate collagen re-growth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to also reduce redness. The result is healthier, more vibrant-looking skin.
The other advantage of Laser Genesis is that it can be safely, effectively performed on all skin types, including darker skin colors. Some lasers and intense pulsed light can pose a greater risk of burning darker-colored skin, so we recommend Laser Genesis in particular for our patients with darker complexions. So if you are Hispanic, Asian, African American or Middle Eastern and have signs of sun damage you want to address, such as fine lines, large pores and redness, Laser Genesis could be an ideal rejuvenating procedure for you.
To get the ultimate effect from the Laser Genesis, we recommend a series of five treatments, spaced two to three weeks apart. Each procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to treat the entire face. No anesthetic creams or pain medications are needed. You can expect to see subtle, cumulative improvement after each treatment. There is minimal or no redness or swelling afterwards, so you can resume your normal activities immediately. Pre-first procedure and pre-fifth procedure photographs are taken. These pictures are reviewed with you before your final treatment so you and I can discuss your progress. A no-charge follow-up consult that includes photography may also be recommended, usually one-month post fifth treatment.
We also offer our Signature Laser Genesis, which combines three skin-rejuvenating procedures – vibradermabrasion, Laser Genesis and GentleWaves® LED light therapy – to help maximize the benefit of the Laser Genesis treatment. First, the vibradermabrasion treatment takes off the top layer of dead skin cells, leaving the surface smooth and radiant. The removal of dead skin cells allows the light from the Laser Genesis treatments to reach the collagen cells more effectively. Finally, GentleWaves augments the collagen stimulating effects of the Laser Genesis treatment.
So give your face a new beginning by reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles, shallow acne scars, large pores and facial redness. Schedule a skin-rejuvenation consultation to discuss Laser Genesis. Call 713.850.0240 to set up your appointment.
