Laser Genesis is scientifically-proven to boost collagen production, which is a natural protein found in our skin that helps you keep a firmer and fuller appearance. Increased collagen leads to younger-looking skin. This is why Laser Genesis is effective.

How does Laser Genesis actually work? Light pulses from the laser penetrate the skin’s surface, allowing the energy to be absorbed by the deeper tissues and get straight to work on the areas you want targeted. This is all done in a non-ablative way — meaning that your skin is not cut and the skin layer is not removed. Some people refer to this treatment as a YAG laser, because yttrium, aluminum, and garnet are the crystal components that concentrate the light pulses.

Laser Genesis is an easy procedure and causes virtually no pain. A topical anesthetic is not even required for most patients. The simplicity lies in the fact that the laser never even contacts the skin. It is merely waved over the surface so that the light pulses can be applied. These light pulses feel like tiny, warm water droplets. Your skin receives new collagen growth as the heat is applied through the light and energy. Because of this, the redness, large pores and rough texture can be corrected while fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced.

Although full results will require more than one visit, you will begin to notice subtle changes after the first treatment. Four to six sessions is the average, but your skin may need fewer or more, depending on your skin’s individual issues and needs. The highly trained staff at Mariposa Aesthetics & Laser Center will assess your skin and let you know how many treatments you may need.
