Laser Genesis uses a noninvasive YAG-based laser originally designed for cataract surgery. The laser emits micro pulses of light that heat the layer of skin just below the surface. This facial is generally good for all skin types and can be used on the face and body. However, the laser should not be used on the eyelids and surrounding area.
The process is painless, and many people say it is relaxing since it creates a warm sensation on the skin. The heat stimulation promotes increased collagen production, which smooths visible signs of aging and improves overall skin texture.
Many people see some results after a single session, but Laser Genesis facials are usually performed in a series of treatments. Four to six sessions, spaced roughly two to four weeks apart, are recommended for optimal results.
The ideal candidates for Laser Genesis facials in Kansas City see early signs of skin aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. The process also reduces facial redness and manages conditions like rosacea since it targets and constricts dilated capillaries.
While the process is safe and effective, it is not appropriate for all people. It is not recommended for people who are pregnant or breastfeeding or who have an active skin infection or cold sores.
If you have an autoimmune disorder, uncontrolled diabetes, or a history of keloid scarring, you may be at higher risk for complications. Laser Genesis may not be suitable for you if you take medication that increases your skin’s sensitivity to light since these medications increase the risk of complications from the laser.
Laser Genesis offers some significant benefits, including improved skin texture and tone. The laser stimulates collagen production, which improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The laser can also help to even out skin tone by reducing redness and pigmentation issues.
The heat helps reduce the appearance of large pores and the visibility of acne scars. There is no downtime, and you can usually resume your regular activities immediately after treatment. Laser Genesis can be customized to address specific concerns, including on the face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body.
Before the procedure, a licensed skin care professional will evaluate your skin type, discuss your cosmetic concerns, and assess your suitability for a Laser Genesis facial in Kansas City during a consultation. The skin is cleansed before your treatments. Since the treatment is not invasive, you will not need any numbing cream or anesthetics.
The application uses a handheld device that emits a laser light. Your esthetician moves the device across the treatment area in a back-and-forth or circular motion to ensure the energy is distributed evenly. The controlled heating stimulates collagen production, tightens the skin, and addresses any redness.
The procedure generally takes 30 minutes, but it can take longer when you are treating multiple areas. After the procedure, you can return to your normal activities. Your skin may appear slightly red or flushed, but this typically resolves within a few hours. You should apply sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure after the treatment. Some people notice an immediate glow or subtle improvements to their skin tone and texture, but optimal results typically develop over several weeks. You will need multiple sessions to achieve the best outcome and maintenance treatments may be suggested every few months to sustain the results.
