Laser Genesis Skin Tightening Treatment Overview
How does Laser Genesis Skin Tightening work?
Laser Genesis skin tightening is an innovative technology that uses a very stable neodymium-yag (Nd:YAG) laser to allow multiple pulses per second at a high energy level. The treatment feels like a warm heat sensation on the skin. The heat generated in the deep layers of the skin stimulates collagen production to tighten the skin and shrink oil glands and pores. In general, 4 sessions are recommended, in intervals of 4 weeks. After the 4 treatments, many patients opt to do Laser Genesis once a season to keep the skin tight, and continually stimulate collagen production.
It is a non-invasive, quick, and painless procedure. The skin is not damaged. In fact, it will produce an immediate effect of a youthful glow. Since the laser targets the deep layers of the skin it is safe for all skin types.
