Hi there! Great question, Laser Genesis works wonders! Micro-pulses of light gently heats up below your skin's surface. This treatment is non-ablative so it does not burn your skin, and it stimulates the production of collagen which leads to tighter pores and reduces redness. It is best to see your doctor for a consultation to determine the number of treatments that will achieve your desired results!Best wishes,Barbara L. Persons, MD, FACS
Hello,Very good question. Although there may be mild improvement with the inflammatory component of rosacea, we believe that the correct wavelength of a laser must be ideal for the patient's skin type and condition. The pulsed dye laser technology (ex: VStar, VBeam) is a wavelength of light that is specifically attracted to the hemoglobin in blood vessels which represents a specific target, specific interaction between the laser and target, and a much better approach for rosacea. However, the skin type/color and type of condition are factors in determing if the PDL technology is ideal. In our practice, the PDL is the gold standard for diffuse redness, followed by our Q-switched YAG laser - nanoseconds versus micro or milliseconds. This two laser approach has been a good treatment plan for rosacea patients.Regards
The wavelength of the laser genesis is the same wavelength that is used to treat larger vessels. The laser delivers heat to the small vessels and causes them to contract and than collapse. The laser also causes cells to stimulate collagen production. The laser does not need to be in contact with the skin because the beam will reach the target vessel.
The laser genesis is a 1064 laser which gently warm your skin to an even 45-46C (113-115 F). At this temperature, the small vessels of the skin reduce in size and the fibroblasts are stimulated to form new collagen. There is no downtime and it is actually quite relaxing. It is not meant for individual vessels but rather overall redness. It is recommended to do the treatment in series. There is a vascular head on the same laser that can be used to trace and diminish individual larger vessels.
As a physician and patient, I notice a smoother texture and a glow immediately after laser genesis. It takes the series of 6 treatments to see an improvement in fine lines and build collagen. Some red spots will diminsh with each treatment. If you have any brown spots, I do find a...
I would suggest a multi-pronged approach for your skin concerns. While partial to Laser Genesis for issues such as lines/wrinkles and large pores, adding in treatments such as microneedling with radio frequency or IPL will really help check off all of the different concerns you mention...
Hi, and thanks for your question! Showering or exercising after any kind of laser treatment isn’t recommended because your skin will be very sensitive to heat and irritation. Laser Genesis, like other laser treatments, works by sending intense, rapid pulses of heat and light deep into your s...
