Hi Slow Life Girl, Looks like the results of the Laser Genesis treatments are coming along a little too "Slow". Fraxel re:store should give you noticeable improvement. Fraxel too requires a series of treatments, though only about 4 separated by 2-3 weeks. Good luck and be well... more
Time to switch from Laser Genesis to Fraxel?
I've had Laser Genesis every month for over a year with what seemed like a slight improvement in skin texture & fullness. But how long does this go on? I'm beginning to distrust my doc because the benefit doesn't seem to be justifying the monthly $100/ visit cost.
She has Fraxel- should I switch? I have no scars, only a few larger pores, fine lines but some newly forming deeper lines plus, being a redhead, tons of freckles.

Pearl resurfaces the entire face with minimal social down time... usually 5 days. After the procedure, you apply aquaphor daily and relax. There's no crusting and no pain, it's extremely effective for fine wrinkles and enlarged pores, and if your MD 'genesised' you for a year, it's probably because she didn't have the Pearl in the office. Good luck.

Fraxel Re:store and Fraxel Re:pair will give quicker results than laser genesis to address certain issues. Fraxel Re:pair in particular will also address issues that laser genesis could not. Laser genesis is a rather slow process whose results can be quite impressive over time. There are several factors that influence the decision what procedure to recommend to a patient. Do discuss with your physician what your treatment goals are.
