3 Benefits of Laser Genesis for Aging Skin

3 Benefits of Laser Genesis for Aging Skin

If you’ve been looking for a way to fight the effects of aging, you might have already started exploring laser treatment. With the latest laser technology, you get a way to trigger regeneration in your skin, helping you address everything from fine lines and wrinkles to large pores.

That said, not all laser treatments are created equal. Laser resurfacing, for example, drives results but comes with downtime.

If you want a way to fight aging in your skin that doesn’t require a recovery period, talk to Norman J. Pastorek, MD, and Janice Pastorek, BSN, RN, about Laser Genesis. With this laser treatment — which we offer at our offices on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York City and in Madison, Connecticut — we can deliver these three benefits.

#1: New collagen

Laser Genesis works by directing short bursts of near-infrared energy into the treatment area. Unlike some other laser treatments, this doesn’t damage your skin. Instead, it heats it under the surface. This stimulates the production of collagen, the protein that builds the support structure for your skin.

In the weeks that follow your treatment, your skin creates new collagen to fight fine lines and wrinkles. 

#2: New skin cells

The therapeutic heat that Laser Genesis delivers also encourages your skin to create new, healthy cells. And as it drives the production of new skin cells, Laser Genesis supports a more even skin tone and texture. If you’ve noticed that aging is leaving your skin looking less than radiant, this is a great option to discuss with our team. 

The complexion-smoothing benefits don’t stop there. As it works, this laser treatment constricts blood vessels, fighting redness while shrinking pores. As a result, Laser Genesis can help to reduce the appearance of:

Plus, your options for using Laser Genesis don’t end with your face. We can also use this laser on your neck, chest, back, and shoulders. 

#3: No downtime

Many people call Laser Genesis a “lunchtime” procedure because you can get it in about 30 minutes and you don’t have any recovery time afterward. We can help you fit this skin-improving option seamlessly into your life. 

Most people see the best results from Laser Genesis when they get 6-10 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. This helps your skin consistently create new collagen and skin cells, fighting wrinkles and redness. 

Are you bothered by the signs of aging, or do you want to be proactive about keeping your skin looking its best through the years? If you want to explore Laser Genesis for yourself, call one of our offices or book online today.
