Hi Laurena. We typically use Genesis for issues related to acne, rosacea, redness, complexion and tone. There are several things you can do to treat bags, hollows, and dark circles, but a combination approach will give the most improvement. Non-invasive, less-downtime options such as fillers (Belotero, Juvederm Volbella), lasers (Fraxel, CO2), microneedling/PRP, Cosmelan peels and stem cells can all help give some improvement. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat might be the best solution long-term. For puffiness and more significant sagging under the eyes, we often use Renuvion helium plasma radiofrequency energy to achieve incredible results and take years off of your appearance. Combining RF energy and cool helium plasma, the signs of aging (wrinkles, pigmentation, skin laxity) are improved in a Nonsurgical Eyelid Lift. The focused heating tightens and peels the upper layers of skin with extreme precision, leaving the surrounding area undamaged, smoothing and tightening the periorbital skin, and improving the overall skin quality around the eyes. It's an aggressive treatment, and the recovery time is longer than with other nonsurgical procedures, but the results can be life-changing.I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to see what is best for you and your goals; our practice is located right here in Los Angeles. Best, Dr. Emer.
Thank you for your question. Laser Genesis is a great treatment option for skin rejuvenation. It is a gentle procedure with very little downtime. During the treatment, patients wear goggles to protect their eyes from the laser. The treatment involves going around the eyes but not directly below the eyes. However, there are several other options available to help improve under eye dark circles and skin laxity, including various lasers, injectables and surgery. I would recommend consulting with a Board-Certified Dermatologist to discuss which options fit best for your desired goals.
Hi, Thank you for your question. Laser Genesis is an Nd-YAG 1064 laser that is used in the defocused mode. The object of the treatment is to heat the skin just to the point of discomfort and then stop. When given by an experienced operator, you should not sustain burns as a result of treatment....
A combination approach will give the most improvement. These scars can be improved with a combination of Cosmelan, lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Hi there, Laser Genesis creates new skin collagen by dermal remodeling. Sometimes this can cause the skin to be a bit more reactive to other treatments, and become more sensitive. I would wait about 3 weeks before I did a Lactic acid peel to my skin, to avoid any complications, as a conservative...
