LASER SKIN REJUVENATION
Laser Genesis Skin Therapy
Uses advanced science to achieve vibrant, even skin tone and smooth texture in both men and women. Light penetrates deeply into the skin where collagen is manufactured, stimulating an increase of new collagen production. Unlike harsher methods, this is done without destroying the upper layers of skin (non-ablative). The Laser Genesis procedure safely, discreetly and effectively treats scars, uneven textures, fine line wrinkles and large pores. The result is skin with smoother texture and a healthier appearance. The skin is gently warmed during this procedure, and daily activities may be resumed right away. This is truly a rejuvenating experience with no down time.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments needed depends upon the problem being treated. But, it usually ranges from four to six treatments spaced three to four weeks apart. Results are generally seen after just two treatments. However, a series of treatments are required for optimum results. Depending on the concern being addressed, other treatments maybe suggested to use with laser genesis.
How long will my Laser Genesis results last?
One of the greatest advantages of Laser Genesis is that the results continue to accumulate after each treatment and continue far beyond your last treatment. In fact, accelerated collagen production continues following Laser Genesis, peaking at about 12 weeks after your last treatment, then continuing at a steady increased rate. Because the natural aging process is of course continuing, it is difficult to state precisely how long results will last, but benefits seem apparent for several years. Sun protection and attention to skin care are necessary to maintain optimal results. In the case of acne scarring and rosacea, it is necessary to control the underlying condition in order to avoid further skin disruption.
MICRODERMABRASION
Microdermabrasion is a popular procedure and is classified as a surface dermabrasion, or exfoliation. This method employs tiny aluminum oxide crystals which are sprayed onto the skin and immediately sucked up along with dead skin cells. Although not scientifically proven to improve the appearance of skin, many patients report that their skin feels smoother. It is also popular because it is painless and there is no recovery time after the procedure. Microdermabrasion is safe on any skin color or type.
What is microdermabrasion used for?
Most patients report improvement in acne, uneven skin color, and skin texture. Patients like the fact that makeup goes on more smoothly after microdermabrasion. It also is more effective when used with Laser Genesis.
