The timeline for scar treatment results varies depending on the type of treatment and the severity of the scar. Some treatments may show improvement in as little as a few weeks, while others may require several months to achieve optimal results.

Pain levels associated with scar treatments can vary depending on the specific procedure and individual pain tolerance. Many treatments are well-tolerated with the use of topical anesthesia or numbing creams.

While scar treatments are safe, potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, itching, or changes in pigmentation. Serious complications are rare, but may include infection or scarring.

The most common belief is that nasolabial folds are caused by smiling and other repetitive facial muscle movements, but this is a secondary cause of nasolabial folds.

Many factors can make you more vulnerable to developing nasolabial folds, including genetics, sun exposure damage, and lifestyle choices such as smoking.

Unless there is a vascular occlusion, it is up to the patient to decide whether to leave the filler in place.

Laser Genesis™ works by utilizing a non-invasive laser technology to target the deeper layers of the skin. Specifically, it emits micro-pulses of laser energy that gently heat the dermis, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular turnover. This process helps improve various skin concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture. Additionally, Laser Genesis™ also helps to reduce redness and inflammation, making it an effective treatment for conditions like rosacea and acne scars. Overall, the treatment works to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin, leaving it smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

Laser Genesis™ has little to no downtime. If you have a history of sensitive skin or a strong histamine response, please discuss this with your clinician.
