Laser Genesis

---

Ideal candidates are people with mild to moderate skin issues, such as acne, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven textures, large pores, or redness. Laser Genesis can benefit all types of skin.

While some clients might notice immediate improvements, the best results are typically visible after four to six treatments spaced a few weeks apart.

Results can last for several months, but this varies by individual. Ongoing maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.

The Laser Genesis treatment does not require downtime, which allows individuals to resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure. Although side effects are rare, they may include slight redness in the treated area, which usually disappears within a few hours. 

During a Laser Genesis session, you will experience a gentle warming of your skin as the laser is moved back and forth about half an inch above your skin. The procedure is pain-free and relaxing, with each treatment lasting around 30 minutes, depending on the targeted area. 

• Wait at least 6 months post Accutane/isotretinoin use, as it may compromise the skin’s protective barrier.
• Wait at least 24 hours post neurotoxin or filler (injections may be done immediately after).
• If you are pregnant or nursing, please consult with your healthcare provider first.
• If you have a history of skin cancer, especially melanoma, or precancerous lesions in the treatment area, please consult with your healthcare provider first as this treatment could potentially affect malignant cells.
• Discontinue use of aggressive exfoliants, Retinol/Tretinoin, AHA/BHA products, bleaching, waxing, depilatory creams, or any other exfoliating products in the treatment area 3-5 days prior to treatment.
• Avoid medications that increase sensitivity to light (antibiotics) 5-7 days before your treatment. If you have prescription, consult with your healthcare provider before discontinuing.
• If you have a history of cold sores, please take a course of oral anti-viral one day prior, day of procedure, and for the next five days after. Please let us know if you need a prescription for a short course to take.
• If the treatment area has compromised skin (dermatitis, sunburn, open wounds) or you are experiencing an active skin infection (cold sores), the procedure should be postponed until the condition is resolved.
• Shave any dark hair in the treatment area 12-24 hours prior to procedure (or add on a dermaplane!) Beards on those who do NOT wish to have hair loss in that area do not have to shave. The bearded area will be avoided during treatment since Laser Genesis can cause minimal hair reduction.

• Mild redness or skin irritation is normal and typically resolves within a few hours. Cold compresses may be used to provide comfort during this time, as well as Vitamin E or Aloe Vera. 
• Makeup may be applied immediately after as long as skin integrity has not been compromised.
• No down time is required after a Laser Genesis; you will be able to immediately return to normal activities. The main precaution is to protect your skin in the treated area from UV rays. The treated area is more prone to sunburn and pigmentation change the first 1-2 weeks. Wear an SPF 30 or higher daily for at least one week, reapplying every 2 hours during sun exposure.
• Avoid aggressive exfoliants, Retinol/Tretinoin, AHA/BHA products, or any other exfoliating products for 3-7 days post treatment.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, excessive heat, saunas, hot tubs, and swimming pools for at least 24 hours.
• Avoid waxing, bleaching or depilatory use for 1-2 weeks post treatment. 
• The results of Laser Genesis are cumulative and may take a few weeks to become fully noticeable. Patience is key as your skin gradually improves.
