Radio frequency ruined what Laser Genesis accomplished. Can I start Laser Genesis again?

Question

I had 5 laser genesis with very nice result at the end , when someone suggested to try radio frequency for skin tightening . I waited 40 days after my last laser genesis to get aRF done. Immediately my first and only Rf my skin deflated and I’m back to square one . How long should I wait it’s been a month since my the Rf to start laser genesis again to correct my skin texture issue ?

​The best treatments for capillary issues are vascular lasers such as pulsed dye laser, Excel V, Aerolase, Venus Versa IPL, Laser Genesis or Yellow laser. The settings are determined on a per case basis, so it is best to consult with an expert to determine what will work best for you. It is hard to tell without photos, but if your skin is healed after proper treatment from your most recent RF treatment, then you should be ready to re-start Laser Genesis.

Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser used for overall skin rejuvenation. This laser treats blemishes, large pores, and uneven skin tone by heating the deeper tissues in the skin into the lower layers of the dermis. The heat augments the collagen production in the skin which in turn will give your face an overall healthier appearance. The heat also affects dilated capillaries by reducing the redness and flushing.

We often combine vascular lasers with non-ablative fractional lasers such as Clear + Brilliant or Venus Viva for better results.  I would suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer.​
