Laser Genesis

We have never seen this occur with Genesis, and would consider it very rare. If done over hair, perhaps there is a little inflammation of the follicle. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

Laser genesis IMPROVES bumps

There have been no studies shown or incidences in our practice of Laser Genesis causing bumps. If anything, it improves any current breakouts you have because the amount of heat used kills the bacteria, therefore, drying up the bump, as well as lessening the redness of it.

Laser genesis and pimples

It is unlikely that laser genesis would cause bumps under the skin. If anything, it should actually improve pores, thus reducing breakouts. Laser genesis works by stimulating collagen and inducing surface changes like decreasing redness and pore size by heat. While results aren't typically long lasting, it really should not have the opposite effect of increasing acne.

I had my first laser Genesis treatment on Wednesday. I loved it, until Friday about 11:30. I looked in the mirror and was covered with bumps on my face and neck! I called where I had it done, and was told that a dermatologist would be in on Wednesday... I guess I will just wear a bag until then.

I had my first laser genesis treatment 5 days ago and contrary to what some of the MDs here are saying, I did, in fact, develop medium sized, raised and red bumps all over my face. They are just now beginning to go away. I bought a package of 5 and will continue the treatment as the results look so great on everyone I know but, this reaction is definitely possible. It would be nice if someone would actually offer a solution but I'll continue to research how to avoid it. It's pretty embarrassing.
