Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a ground-breaking, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes the power of lasers to gently heat the skin and trigger the production of new skin cells and collagen. This process results in a wide range of benefits, including the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, decreased pore size, reduction in oil production, improved skin tone and texture, elimination of sun damage, and reduction in skin redness. Laser Genesis is a comfortable treatment that can be enjoyed by patients of all skin types and tones mostly without any discomfort.
Laser Genesis At Work
Utilizing a near-infrared (NIR) Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm or 532 KTP, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen regrowth by stimulating the elastin and collagen in the skin. Elastin is a highly elastic protein in the tissue below the skin's surface that aids the skin in resuming its shape after stretching or contracting like when we frown, smile, and laugh. Collagen is a protein that provides our skin with strength and firmness, and when both elastin and collagen start to break down, we begin to develop fine lines and wrinkles.
By addressing the breakdown of collagen and elastin over time, Laser Genesis ultimately minimizes the appearance of lines and wrinkles while targeting the tiny vessels and capillaries of the skin that are responsible for persistent skin redness experienced in conditions like rosacea.
Laser Genesis Treatment Areas
Laser Genesis is a versatile treatment that can be used on different areas of the body, such as the face, neck, shoulders, décolletage, and hands. Unlike other laser treatments, Laser Genesis is non-invasive and suitable for all skin types and tones. It also has the added benefit of helping to improve the overall health of your skin.
The Laser Genesis procedure is ideal for individuals looking to improve:
- Fine lines
- Redness
- Wrinkles
- Rosacea
- Acne
- Scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture
At St Louis Skin Solutions, we use the Cutera Excel V as a non-invasive laser technology to treat fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, redness, and scarring safely, discreetly, and effectively. The treatment area will gently warm as the laser handpiece moves back and forth about 1/2 inch above your skin. There is little to no downtime after treatment; you can return to most normal activities as soon as your procedure is complete (just be sure to apply sunscreen generously!).
