Will Laser Genesis Cause Hairloss?

Dear 142683anon:Yes, hairs with any pigmention will absorb some of the 1064 laser energy. For this reason the brows must be protected during treatment. The bearded area of men is avoided.  Our patients with excess hair of the face or even just peach fuzz love this, as it leaves their facial skin very smooth.All the best,   Dr. Clark

Laser Genesis may disturb the hair through some light absorption, and stunt or delay growth but although the wavelength is long and similar to other hair removal wavelengths, the energy settings used for Laser Genesis (between 14-17 Joules) is too low to destroy the germinative hair cells. The energy settings used for hair removal is between 45-65 Joules. 

Yes, laser genesis can cause minimal hair reduction. It won't have as intense of an affect because it is waved above the skin at a specific height and the tip doesn't touch the skin, but it can affect some hairs.
