We know that changes in skin appearance are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance of skin concerns such as redness, texture or visible pores.
Our clinic can provide consultations about Laser Genesis. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss whether any cosmetic procedure may be appropriate for you.
Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser procedure that uses micro-pulsed Nd:YAG energy applied to the skin in a clinical setting by trained practitioners.
Any change in appearance, and how noticeable it is, varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.
Laser Genesis
What may be discussed in consultation
For suitable individuals, consultation may address concerns relating to:
the appearance of facial redness
the appearance of surface texture
the appearance of visible pores
These concerns are assessed during consultation to determine whether Laser Genesis, another cosmetic procedure, or no procedure may be appropriate.
How treatment planning works
During consultation, your practitioner will:
review your medical history, medications and relevant skin history
examine the treatment area
discuss your concerns and expectations
explain the possible procedure, its limitations and alternative options, including choosing not to proceed
If considered appropriate, a practitioner may pass a laser handpiece over selected areas of the skin to deliver micro-pulsed Nd:YAG laser energy.
Treatment planning, including device settings, treatment area and number of sessions, is determined after consultation and clinical assessment.
In some cases, your practitioner may recommend an alternative approach or no procedure.
Who May Be Considered Suitable
Laser Genesis may be discussed for adults who wish to address concerns relating to:
the appearance of redness
the appearance of texture variations
the appearance of visible pores
Suitability is determined on an individual basis after consultation and clinical assessment.
Safety, Risks and Aftercare
All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Risks for non-surgical cosmetic procedures will be discussed in detail during consultation but may include, depending on the procedure:
redness, swelling or bruising at the treatment site
tenderness or temporary discomfort
changes in skin colour or pigmentation
infection or delayed healing
uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes
Less common but more serious complications may occur.
Your practitioner will explain the specific risks relevant to the procedure being considered, as well as expected recovery considerations and aftercare requirements.
Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
