Laser Genesis Chicago for an Even Skin Texture

Laser Genesis is a non-invasive anti-aging and cosmetic facial treatment. It is one of the best treatments to consider if you have skin imperfections like acne scarring, fine lines or wrinkles, facial redness, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, melasma, skin roughness, or scars caused by burns, trauma, or surgery. The treatment works for a wide range of skin issues but should be provided by a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. At www.skindeepmedicalspa.com, you can book for an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for your Laser Genesis Chicago. Skin Deep Medical Spa is under the direction of Dr. Steven Bloch.

How does the treatment work?

Laser Genesis treatment is performed in a series to achieve the best possible results. A series of 6 to 10 treatments is what achieves the desired results for most patients, but significant changes are noticeable even after the first 4 treatments. Laser Genesis stimulates collagen production and growth of new skin cells. Tiny blood vessels or capillaries are also closed to leave your skin with an even or much smoother appearance. That is how skin redness is successfully addressed. Skin pores will shrink, scars will fade and any rough texture will even out.

How long will results last?

Although results after a Laser Genesis procedure will vary from one patient to another, in most cases the results should last between 6 and 12 months. A series of Laser Genesis treatments is usually required to optimize results. Maintaining the results over a longer period of time requires that you strictly follow a skin care program. The doctor will prescribe for you a personalized regimen for your skin care. Your lifestyle, diet, and sun exposure are also important factors that determine how long your results will last. Observe proper nutrition, exercise regularly and avoid excessive alcohol or smoking.

YAG Laser Overview

The YAG (often written Yag) laser is a form of cosmetic laser commonly used for anti-aging skin treatments.

• • The YAG laser resurfaces your skin to remove moderate facial wrinkles, surface scars, or splotchy skin discolorations.

• • Some, like the GentleYAG, may also be used in vein removal on legs or facial veins.

• • YAG lasers have proven effective at destroying the pigment in hair follicles, thus are often used for laser hair removal.

• • The YAG laser is considered “non-ablative”, meaning that it does not cut or remove the top layer of your skin; instead, the laser penetrates the skin surface and the energy is absorbed by your skin tissue.
  • YAG is an acronym for the components of the crystal: yttrium, aluminum, and garnet.
