In an extremely fast-changing and evolving world, especially in the health and beauty industry, we are constantly being introduced to fancy lasers and strange new treatments; But do they really work? Laser genesis is one of the many non-invasive treatments that have become popular in recent years.
Whether you have acne scars, large pores, or you simply wish to reinvigorate your skin, there are many reasons why people choose laser genesis for their skin concerns. Here at Esteem Clinic, we take pride in our efforts to customise our treatments and patient care. Book a consultation to speak with us about cosmetic treatment in the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is used to treat a number of skin conditions such as rosacea (broken capillaries and redness). Often, marks are left over from previous breakouts, in addition to dry and ageing skin and enlarged pores. Laser genesis uses heat to stimulate collagen production and activate the healing mechanisms in your skin, making it a popular non-invasive way to fight signs of ageing and other skin problems.
Our senior dermal and laser therapists here at Esteem Clinic, understand that ‘laser’ can sound pretty daunting if you’ve never had anything like this before. For this reason, a thorough consultation prior to treatment will help ease your mind and we can go through all your concerns, what you’ve been using on your skin at home and what you would like to achieve.
We continuously move the laser in a sweeping motion back and forth to evenly heat up one area of the skin at a time. The light is absorbed by the tiny blood vessels in the upper dermis, and then the micro-pulses from the laser heat up the blood vessels which activate our own collagen production. This in turn can reduce those skin issues you’re concerned about. Despite the popularity of this treatment to address many skin concerns, you should know that everyone might get a different outcome. This is why it’s important to discuss your needs with us in a one-on-one consultation at Esteem Clinic.
What Are the Benefits?
There are numerous benefits to laser genesis treatment, although they may vary between individuals. The benefits somewhat depend on your reasons for pursuing cosmetic skin treatment, whether it be sun damage, signs of ageing, acne, oily skin, large pores, or other issues. Generally, the treatment can:
- Treat sun damage
- Improve skin tone and complexion
- Minimise lines and wrinkles
- Restore moisture
- Reduce acne scarring
- Improve skin firmness
- Reduce large pores
Since the benefits and outcomes may vary, it’s a good idea to do enough research beforehand, including speaking to a professional, to help you understand what you can achieve. This is why we offer consultations for clients in the Gold Coast and Brisbane areas.
What to Expect From Laser Genesis
If you’re thinking about getting laser genesis treatment, it can be helpful to know what to expect. Many patients say that it feels like a slight warming sensation, similar to when you lay in the sun and you feel the warm rays upon your skin. Generally, patients find this comfortable and even relaxing!
Due to the heat generated by the laser, the skin begins to increase its production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are very important fibres in your skin’s tissue, helping to keep the skin firm and resilient. By helping your skin produce more of these fibres, the skin is strengthened at a cellular level. This means it’s better able to maintain its elasticity and stave off the common signs of ageing such as lines and wrinkles.
One attractive feature of laser genesis is that there is little to no downtime for most people. If you’re not sure whether the treatment is right for you, you’re welcome to book a consultation at our clinic for professional guidance. We service the Gold Coast and Brisbane area to help men and women reach their skin goals.
Aftercare and Side Effects
Unless you’ve coupled laser genesis with another treatment, there is generally very little to no downtime. However, you’ll need to take care of your skin, as it will be more sensitive after treatment. You might experience some redness which usually subsides shortly. It’s important to follow all instructions as your skin heals, including:
- Be diligent about sun protection
- Avoid exercise
- Avoid saunas and steam rooms
- Drink enough water
The treatment is considered low-risk, but side effects can occur. A little bit of redness and warmth is normal after laser genesis. However, if not start noticing anything severe or concerning, you should contact us.
While some people might see results immediately, usually it’s more of a gradual process. Everyone is different and might experience different outcomes, and it’s important to keep this in mind before you pursue treatment. We recommend having a minimum of 6 treatments which can be done every 2-4 weeks.
