What is Laser Genesis? Benefits and Insights Explained
According to Finder’s Consumer Sentiment Tracker, 8.3 million Australians (41% of the population) spend $19.7 billion on their appearances annually. Per person, that’s about $431 a month!
A sizable chunk of our income goes to anti-ageing treatments. Cosmetic Injectables are one of the most expensive treatments people indulge in. Laser Genesis is an alternative to cosmetic injectables that helps to treat ageing and sun damage.
What is Laser Genesis technology, exactly, and how can it benefit your skin? Read on to find out!
What Is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive skin treatment. It uses a laser to gently yet deeply penetrate the skin’s surface.
Many laser-based skin rejuvenation treatments only treat the skin’s surface layer. Laser Genesis
targets deep, cellular layers of the skin. Reaching skin tissue below the surface encourages additional healing and regenerative processes.
Treatment with Laser Genesis can address cellular issues that are affecting your skin. By encouraging your natural collagen production, new skin cells will grow.
Collagen is a natural protein found throughout your body. It keeps our skin firm and taut. As we get older, however, our natural collagen production can decline.
Without collagen, wrinkles will form and skin can start to lose elasticity. By stimulating your natural collagen production, you can reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. The primary use of Laser Genesis technology is to treat:
- Rosacea
- Broken blood vessels
- Redness
- Scarring
Treatment works on patients of all ages and skin tones. Patients will experience a gentle warming of the skin’s surface during the procedure and there’s no downtime.
However, it’s important you find a trained and qualified laser therapist or plastic surgeon before scheduling your first appointment. They can provide a consultation and recommend if Laser Genesis is the right treatment.
More patients are turning to this treatment to maintain vibrant and healthy looking skin. Between 2023 and 2030, the Australian medical lasers market could grow by over 7%. The market for advanced skincare solutions has experienced significant growth due to the:
- Increasing adoption of laser technology
- Improved outcomes in dermatology
- Demand for minimally invasive procedures
- Demand for reduced recovery times
- Rising prevalence of age-related conditions
- Technological advancements
- Increased precision and efficiency
- Increase applicability and safety
- Rising awareness among Australians
The Procedure
Laser Genesis technology involves long pulse Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet). The laser will deliver pulses to the deep layers of your skin.
Your qualified laser therapist or plastic surgeon will assess your skin to determine if this non-invasive skin treatment suits your needs. They’ll power on the machine, which will begin to hum. You may feel some heat and hear clicking sounds during the procedure.
Treatment with this type of laser doesn’t require numbing cream, as you should only experience a gentle warming sensation as your laser therapist or plastic surgeon passes the wand over your skin.
Laser Genesis treatment can target your:
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Shoulders
While it’s suitable for treating any area on the body, the face and neck are most commonly requested.
Laser Genesis is a fast procedure and allows you to return to work immediately afterwards with no recovery time needed.
However, it may take up to six treatments to experience optimal results. During this time, new collagen and skin cells will form. Consult a qualified laser therapist or plastic surgeon to develop a customised treatment plan based on your needs.
Laser Treatment Benefits
Common Laser Genesis benefits include:
- Helps reduce sun exposure damage
- Reduces facial redness and rosacea
- Minimises scars
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin tone
A pigment called melanin naturally protects your body from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. However, years of skin exposure can cause your skin to lose its natural elasticity. Your skin could prematurely age as it becomes more susceptible to sagging.
Damage from UV rays occurs within deep skin cells. The Genesis laser can help reverse the damage by targeting these layers. Stimulation will trigger the growth of new skin cells to improve elasticity and firmness.
Broken blood vessels, skin diseases like seborrhea, and acne can cause facial redness. The Laser Genesis can help reduce facial redness and treat rosacea.
Wrinkles form in deeper layers of the skin. The Genesis laser can help smooth out fine lines. It can help prevent lighter or shallow lines from turning into deeper wrinkles.
Scar tissue can develop with damage to the thicker, deeper layer of your skin (dermis). New collagen fibres will form, causing changes to your skin’s texture.
Acne scarring, on the other hand, develops from inflamed blemishes from clogged skin pores. A severe acne breakout can cause scar tissue that doesn’t heal or fade.
The Genesis laser can encourage healthy skin cells to develop. New skin tissue will form, reducing the appearance of scars.
Potential Side Effects
Before treatment, talk to your qualified laser therapist or plastic surgeon about potential side effects. While it’s a low-risk procedure, you may notice redness after treatment. It should clear up within a few days on its own.
If you experience a reaction to the laser, consult your qualified laser therapist or plastic surgeon.
Other Advanced Skincare Solutions
According to Globe Newswire, the total number of minimally invasive aesthetic procedure increased to 13 million globally over 20 years. The 174% increase includes skin treatments with the Genesis laser.
Your laser therapist or plastic surgeon will help you determine if treatment using laser technology suits your needs. Other options include Fraxel; another laser treatment, which creates “micro-injuries”.
Microneedling treatment is another alternative treatment that involves a round tool containing multiple needles. Pricking the skin will encourage new skin cell growth.
