Bothered by Fine Lines? Consider Laser Genesis

As technology advances, we unlock new opportunities. That includes options in the field of medical aesthetics. 

With the latest skin-focused laser treatments, you can get notable improvement without the need to get a single injection or incision. In fact, if you’re frustrated with fine lines, an exciting laser treatment could help you turn back the clock.

It’s called Laser Genesis, and Norman J. Pastorek, MD, and Janice Pastorek, BSN, RN, offer it right here at our offices on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York City and in Madison, Connecticut. If you want a convenient, comfortable way to get luminous, younger-looking skin, consider this option. 

How Laser Genesis works

During Laser Genesis treatment, we use a sophisticated near-infrared (NIR) Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser. This laser is nonablative, which means it doesn’t injure your skin at all. Instead, it fires short bursts of energy into the top layer of your skin.

With a full series of Laser Genesis treatments — usually, 6-10 sessions spaced a few weeks apart — the collagen and elastin build to a sufficient level to make your skin look firmer and younger, helping to erase fine lines. 

At the same time, the laser energy of this treatment works to normalize oil production, smooth scars, and shrink pores. You’ll be left looking luminous. 

You don’t have to stop at your face, either. We can also use Laser Genesis to revitalize the skin on your:

In other words, if there’s any area where you’d like to turn back the clock, talk with us. With this nonablative, no-downtime treatment, we can move you toward your overall cosmetic goals.

Each Laser Genesis session takes about 30 minutes. You’ll feel a gentle warming sensation as the laser goes to work, but you shouldn’t experience any discomfort.

You also don’t need to worry about any downtime. You can get this lunchtime procedure and head straight back into your day. At most, you may experience some redness. 

If you’re dealing with fine lines or other signs of aging, talk with our team. With options like Laser Genesis, we can help to revitalize your skin and reverse the effects of time — all without invasive or ablative treatment.
