Will Having Laser Genesis Hurt my Facial Fillers?

Question

There should be no filler damage, and the collagen stimulation may give the appearance of lasting longer. Thank you for your question and good luck with everything.

As long as you wait 2 weeks, laser genesis is fine after fillers.  It is one of the best, quickest laser treatments we do.  It works for fine lines, large pores, rosacea, acne, and some scars.

Fillers, especially Radiesse, are injected at such depth that it won't be affected by laser treatments. I suggest my patients wait about 48 hours post-fillers to have an IPL or Laser Genesis treatment. In fact, if you do have bruising or some swelling post-filler, the Laser Genesis can actually help resolve these faster. So that's an added benefit.
