Chemical peels can be incorporated into your non ablative Yag treatment. In our practice, we often use combined treatments with chemical peels and Yag laser to help further define the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Yes, they can be combined in the same treatment. It's often referred to as a "Laser Facial". Just make sure to see someone who knows what they're doing. Best of luck.
While a light glycolic peel is probably safe before laser genesis in many cases, I would recommend separating them to get the full benefit from your Laser Genesis, without worry about secondary side effects. The chemical peel can be done a few days or more later with full effect and without risks, and does not have to be diluted either.
It's not the percentage of the glycolic peel that matters - it's the pH of it. What you are describing is a "Laser Facial" and it's actually a great treatment. Assuming the technician knows what they are doing, and the facial is appropriate pH strength.

Melasma is notoriously difficult to treat. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to first be examined in person. I typically start patients off with a lightening cream and a retinol. Then, I would move on to lasers of which the...
Of these two treatments, I'd say Laser Genesis, but without seeing you in person, it is truly impossible to say if the effects will be enough. It's going to depend on the state of your skin and the depth of any fine lines and wrinkles. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a...
No. I don't think that Laser Genesis is a good option for your hands. It won't restore plumpness and most of the age spots on the hands are deeper than the surface area that this laser treats. You would have better luck with either a filler or fat grafting.
