Wrinkle Removal with Laser Genesis

Treating fine lines and wrinkles can be frustrating, especially if you rely only on over-the-counter solutions. However, many people do not want to undergo invasive procedures. But these are not the only two options. If you have signs of aging you would like to reduce, one popular non-invasive option is Laser Genesis. 

At Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville, we offer this innovative laser treatment to help with wrinkle removal, other signs of aging, and even acne. Learn more about Laser Genesis and how it can help. 

What Is Laser Genesis?

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes a laser to heat your skin in the treatment areas. It heats the dermis right under your skin’s outer layer, stimulating collagen production. 

Collagen is a protein your body makes that keeps your skin looking plump, hydrated, and firm. As you age, collagen production decreases, which means your skin begins to lose elasticity, fullness, and hydration. All of these things can lead to developing wrinkles and fine lines. 

Laser Genesis targets one of the main causes of wrinkles and other signs of aging by heating the skin layers at the exact temperature they need to stimulate collagen production. It does this by distributing laser energy throughout the treatment area in micro-pulses. 

Because collagen helps create new, healthy skin, Laser Genesis is an excellent laser acne treatment. Some of the many skin conditions it can address include the following:

  • Dark spots
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Scarring
  • Acne scars
  • Broken blood vessels
  • Rosacea
  • Enlarged pores

Laser Genesis is an appropriate wrinkle removal and laser acne treatment for all skin types and tones. 

Some of the most common treatment areas are:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Hands

The best candidates for Laser Genesis are people who have mild to moderate signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines, who have acne that has not responded to other treatment options, or who have pigmentation issues that are mild to moderate. 

If you have been on Accutane in the past three months, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have active skin infections, you may not be a good candidate for Laser Genesis. 

Benefits of Laser Genesis

This laser acne treatment and wrinkle removal option is non-invasive, so there is no downtime. You can return to your daily life right after your treatment session. 

Laser Genesis stimulates collagen production, which helps resolve skin laxity issues and can even diminish the appearance of scars and dark spots. 

This is an easy treatment option to customize. Depending on the conditions you have and the results you want, we will work with you to decide on the number of sessions you need. 

Preparing for Laser Genesis

When you schedule your first consultation with us, we will review your medical history and assess the areas you want to treat. Based on our assessment and on your overall health, we will decide whether Laser Genesis is the best treatment option. 

If it is, we will request you stop taking blood-thinning medications like ibuprofen and aspirin as you prepare for the laser treatment. You also need to stay out of the sun and avoid any activities that might increase melanin production, like using tanning beds. 

We also recommend you avoid any skincare products that are abrasive or that can make your skin more sensitive. These include chemical exfoliants and retinol. It is crucial to tell us if you have had Accutane treatments in the past six months because it might mean delaying treatment. 

If you have had a chemical peel or similar treatment, you should wait at least two weeks to schedule Laser Genesis. You also want to avoid waxing, tweezing, and other hair removal procedures in the treatment area. 

Treatment Day and Aftercare

On the day of the Laser Genesis session, do not wear makeup and do not apply lotions or moisturizers to the treatment area. Men should shave.

We will wash the skin to ensure it is free of oils and chemicals and give you protective eyewear. 

Your skin treatment session begins as we move the Laser Genesis wand over the area in a continuous motion. The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes. We will apply sunscreen to protect your skin, and then you can return to your day. 

Continue wearing sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight, as well as saunas, baths, and anything else that causes excess heat, for at least two days. Don’t use products that can irritate your skin, especially those containing retinol, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid. 

Right after treatment, avoid strenuous exercise to prevent sweating and high body temperatures. 

Laser Genesis provides gradual and cumulative results. For most people, three treatment sessions are enough, but how many you need can depend on the size of the treatment area and on the condition you want to correct. 

Follow-up treatments every year are always a good idea, especially for people with rosacea. To maintain results, wear sunscreen every day, even if the day is cloudy. Using the right skincare products and avoiding triggers for certain conditions is also essential.
