Will Laser Genesis result in permanent hair reduction in the areas hit by the laser? If so, is there a shield or something that can be used to protect the hairline area when treating erythematous scarring near the facial hairline?
We have been using Laser Genesis for almost two years with great success. We have yet to have a problem with permanent changes in hair growth. It is possible that you could have some singeing of the hair, but there should be no permanent affect to the hair. So, I don't think you need to worry about that.

Can Laser Genesis be done in conjunction with limelight facial?
If you have fine lines in conjunction with uneven skin pigment and sun spots, Laser Genesis and Limelight together could make a huge improvement in your skin. In fact, we frequently combine them for an optimal result. Here is how it's done:
Laser Genesis is best done in a package of six, two weeks apart. However, the amount of Limelight treatments needed will vary depending on the amount of sun damage and uneven pigment, but for most people two, possibly three treatments about a month apart will do the trick.
The first treatment is Laser Genesis/Limelight. The second treatment is just Laser Genesis. The third is the combination again. The fourth is just Laser Genesis. If needed there will be another Limelight with the fifth Laser Genesis and the sixth will be just Laser Genesis.
To summarize-
Laser Genesis:
Great for: Rejuvenating skin with fine lines, large pores and overall redness
Not for: Treating brown spots
LimeLight IPL Facial:
Great for: brown spots, freckles, red spots and uneven skin pigment
Not for: treating fine lines
