What is the difference between Excel KTP and laser genesis for redness?

LimboBimbo1Jan 17, 2021
I've had 3 KTP treatments for redness and love the results, I want another one but laser genesis is offered as a cost effective maintenance laser to it. I am wondering since it is half the price, is it also half the effectiveness? If so, I want another KTP since I know it's reliably fixing this redness that's made me insecure for YEARS. Also, I'm getting a PicoSure focus treatment soon for pores/collagen, is it possible to do one of these other lasers in the same appointment? Thanks.

Hi, Thank you for your question. Laser Genesis can be done every 2 - 4 weeks. You did not mention the time intervals between the treatments that you had in the past but I infer that they were effective. I would use that interval as a starting point and after you have established good control of...

Hi, Thank you for your question. To the best of my knowledge, there is no association of the use of Laser Genesis and fat loss. I have not seen any evidence of fat loss with our Laser Genesis machine in our practice. Hope that this helps. Good luck.

Hi, Thank you for your question. From your question and the information that you provided, I infer that your burns were minor and did not leave any permanent scarring. Laser Genesis (Nd-YAG 1064) is a rather gentle laser and is quite safe in the right hands. Laser Genesis can be administered at...
