Time is inevitable, and we all must face the signs of aging at some point in our lives. In the past, we have all tried creams, lotions, and other over-the-counter solutions hoping to find that magic combination that will take away our wrinkles and fine lines. When that does not work the way we wish, most of us will turn to cosmetic procedures to make our skin look younger. But, not all of us will wish to deal with the healing time afterwards, which can take days or weeks after the procedure is done. The time has come for a new way of rejuvenating our skin, with no harsh side effects, and virtually no down time: Laser Genesis.
What is Laser Genesis?
Just like other types photofacial cosmetic treatments, this revolutionary procedure uses a laser to rejuvenate the skin, giving an overall more youthful appearance. What makes it different from all the other types of skin rejuvenation or laser treatment procedures is how it uses that laser to achieve the results it professes to give.
In the past, most photofacial procedures were one of two types: ablative, and non-ablative. In an ablative laser treatment, it only affects the surface of the skin, often using a vapor in combination with the laser at high temperatures to achieve the desired result, with a fairly long healing period. Non-ablative laser treatments do not affect the surface of the skin, but concentrate instead on the tissues underneath it. These have minimal healing times, but it takes several treatments to achieve the desired effect. With this new laser treatment, it uses fractional lasers to gently warm the lower layers of the skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen within it. The end result is a more even skin tone, tighter pores, smoother textures and no reddening of the skin, with no lengthy healing time needed.
How Does it Work, and What Can it Fix?
The fractional laser employed in this laser treatment penetrates deeply into the skin, while barely warming the outer layer. The laser will stimulate reserves of collagen already present in the dermis, setting them to work at creating new, healthier skin, without the laser affecting the upper layers of skin at all. The treatment causes the dermis to warm and accelerate the production of collagen, and it will keep on producing more long after the treatment is over. It avoids reddening the skin by targeting the tiny blood vessels beneath the surface of the skin, so that any reddening is diffused throughout the whole skin as it works to repair the surface.
This means that it can be used to correct and reduce the appearance of any scars, uneven facial texture, wrinkles, enlarged pores, rosacea and even the most raised or ragged acne scars, with no side effects, and minimum healing time. After care following this treatment includes using sunscreen while outdoors, wearing protective clothing in the sun, and monitoring your water consumption. The gentleness of this breakthrough treatment also means that it can be used in conjunction with any other cosmetic procedure, even a chemical peel.
Results and Final Tips
Unfortunately, technology has not advanced laser treatments to the point as yet where they can be a one-time-only treatment. The exact number of treatments that you will require will be up to your doctor, of course, and should be monitored to be sure that you are receiving its maximum effects. The average number of treatments most patients undergo with this therapy is generally four to six, spaced out at least three weeks apart. Remember, this treatment less invasive and more gentle to your skin, so your doctor can combine it with other procedures to maximize the overall effect in less time.
The results of Laser Genesis treatments actually continue to increase after each consecutive treatment. Once your doctor has determined that the maximum results have been achieved, you can see those effects lasting up to six months after the last session. Continuing a regimen of skin maintenance, including sunscreen and a healthy lifestyle will extend those results for some time.
