Genesis Skin Rejuvenation: Part 2

Who cannot not undergo genesis laser treatment?

Almost anyone with skin blemishes, wrinkles, or photo-aged skin can undergo treatment with the Genesis laser. However individuals who have uncontrolled diabetes, skin infections or those who take blood thinning medications should refrain from getting this treatment.

Are there any preparations required prior to the treatment?

There are no extensive preparations required prior to the procedure. Once the skin is cleansed, a topical local anesthetic is applied on skin surface about 20 minute prior to the procedure. The laser is then held close to the skin surface and activated. The fine laser beams penetrate the skin and generates heat. The heat starts to remodel the deep layers, stimulates collagen synthesis and restores elasticity.

What happens after genesis treatment?

After treatment, some individuals may develop mild redness or bruising but this can be easily hidden with mascara. The transient side effects dissipate in about 2-8 hours. One should avoid the sun after the Genesis laser treatment. A sunscreen is highly recommended when going out.

Are the treatments painful?

Sure, laser hurts like hell. Even though the skin is numbed, you will feel a hot stinging sensation. Unless you are into S & M, this is not a pleasant experience.

When can one go out after the treatment?

The majority of individuals can résumé their daily living activities on the same day. There is not big list of things to do for skin care except keeping the area clean and dry.

How many sessions does one require?


As with all cosmetic procedures, nothing can ever be cured or treated in one session. Everyone is suckered into enrolling for multiple sessions
