Get Glowing Holiday Skin with Laser Genesis Skin Resurfacing
With winter comes the holiday season and a full social calendar to look forward to. But winter also comes with dry air, cold weather, and dull skin. Add in another year of the effects of aging and you might not be as excited to celebrate.
Want a way to treat yourself to younger, better-looking skin just in time for the holiday season? Let's talk about laser skin resurfacing with Laser Genesis.
What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin texture and tone. This advanced technology uses a gentle, heat-based laser to safely and effectively erase fine lines, wrinkles, and minor scars, even skin texture and tone, and shrink pores.
How Laser Genesis Works
Laser Genesis uses non-ablative laser technology. Non-ablative lasers, unlike their ablative counterparts, do not remove or damage the surface of the skin. Instead, they penetrate deep into the dermal layer, heating the tissue and triggering the body's natural healing response.
As the laser energy gently heats the targeted areas, it stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
In addition to its collagen-boosting effects, Laser Genesis also helps to improve skin texture and tone by targeting dilated capillaries and reducing redness, which can help to even out skin color and minimize redness.
The Benefits of Laser Genesis
By stimulating collagen growth, Laser Genesis helps to plump and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of aging signs.
In addition to its anti-aging benefits, Laser Genesis can also help to:
Minimize the appearance of large pores: By stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity, Laser Genesis can help to tighten and refine enlarged pores, resulting in a smoother, more even skin texture.
Even out skin tone and texture: The gentle heating action of the laser helps to reduce the appearance of skin irregularities, such as minor scars, textural inconsistencies, and areas of uneven pigmentation.
Tighten sagging skin: By promoting collagen and elastin, Laser Genesis visibly tightens and reduces skin laxity.
Reduce redness and inflammation: Laser Genesis can help to minimize facial redness and inflammation associated with conditions like rosacea, thanks to its ability to constrict dilated capillaries and promote a more even skin tone.
Diminish the appearance of mild acne scars: By promoting collagen production and skin cell turnover, Laser Genesis can help to gradually fade the appearance of mild acne scars, leaving you with a smoother, more uniform complexion.
Improve overall skin health: All of these effects help improve skin health and resilience, especially during harsh winter conditions.
What to Expect During Your Laser Genesis Treatment
During the procedure, your provider will pass the handheld laser device over the targeted areas of your face, neck, or chest. You may feel a gentle warming sensation as the laser energy penetrates your skin, but most patients report little to no discomfort. The entire treatment typically takes about 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
What's great (especially during the busy holiday season) is that there is no downtime after the treatment. You may experience some mild redness or swelling immediately following the procedure, but these side effects typically subside within a few hours. You can return to your normal daily activities right after your treatment.
Most patients require a series of treatments, spaced about 2-4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Many see glowing, more radiant skin right away, and you can expect more and more improvement to wrinkles, pore size, redness, and tone over the next few months.
Why Winter is the Perfect Time for Laser Treatments
While Laser Genesis can be performed any time of year, winter is an especially ideal season. One reason for this is that the cooler months typically involve less sun exposure, which is needed for optimal laser treatment results and recovery.
By undergoing Laser Genesis during the winter, when you're likely to spend more time indoors and covered up outdoors, you can minimize the risk of sun damage for better healing.
