Genesis Skin Rejuvenation is a laser assisted cosmetic procedure to achieve a clear youthful skin tone by treating unwanted facial anomalies such as enlarged pores, fine wrinkles and scars. In a few special cases, it is used to treat diffuse redness which can be linked to a condition called Rosacea. Genesis Skin Rejuvenation treatments also rectify the damages caused by premature aging or exposure to excessive sunlight. Both men and women can enjoy the benefits of this non-ablative procedure that employs lasers, which when directed at the correct layer under the skin, stimulates the collagen and encourages the production of new collagen.
Genesis Skin Rejuvenation treatments are non-invasive and non-ablative. The procedure is quick and painless. Since the procedure is non-invasive, recovery is almost immediate. Depending upon your current skin condition and your expectations from the procedure, the treatment can be safely used in conjunction with other skin procedures.
Common Side Effects
Most clinics and doctors’ say that there are no serious side effects of the procedure. The most commonly observed and reported side effect is skin redness immediately after the procedure. This, however, is transient and is known to subside shortly after. In a few other cases, a local swelling is observed. Temporary skin redness is still regarded as an acceptable side effect as opposed to possible bruising or scarring, which are potential side effects of other procedures to achieve the same results.
As with any medical procedure, it is your prerogative to ensure that you have fully briefed your physician about your previous and current medical condition. It is also always helpful to be aware of the possible risks and side effects.
Pain
The extent of pain or discomfort experienced during the procedure is subjective and depends upon the individual's own tolerance. The procedure uses lasers to stimulate the collagen. Few patients may experience discomfort, such as a rubber band snapping on the skin.
Transient Side Effects
The more common transient side effects on the treated area are swelling (edema) and redness (erythema), which subsides eventually. In very rare cases the skin may get bruised.
Wounds and Infection
Again, in extremely rare cases when the surface of the skin is treated with lasers, it is can cause burning, blistering or bleeding. When this occurs, the wound is susceptible to infections. You are advised to immediately contact your physician if you experience heat, pain and redness around the treated area, as these are indications of a possible infection.
Scars
Scarring is a very rare occurrence in the Genesis Skin Rejuvenation treatment; however, the possibility cannot be ruled out. It is imperative that you follow the post treatment care instructions diligently to avoid the chances of scarring.
Eye Injury
Genesis skin rejuvenation procedures use advanced laser technology to achieve desired results. You should avoid exposing your eyes to any form of light from lasers. Ensure that the protective eye wear provided during the procedure covers and protects your eyes effectively.
