The procedure also works well in patients with rosacea and dark-skinned patients with\nuneven skin color. It can also be used on any type of skin to just even tone and texture.\nGenesis is not recommended for pregnant women or for patients who have taken Accutane\nduring the previous six months.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How does Genesis work?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"The Genesis works by gently heating the skin with laser energy improving redness,\npore size, small scars and, in dark-skinned patients, uneven color. This treatment is not painful;\nit feels like a warm wand is moving over your skin. The treated area never gets hot so\nanesthesia is not necessary. The laser pulses are very short and frequent.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"What benefits can I expect?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"Redness is reduced and color and tone are more uniform after 3 to 5 treatments.\nYour skin will look brighter and smoother immediately after treatment but actual improvements in\nredness, color, and tone are more gradual. We recommend continued treatments until you are\neither satisfied or your improvement reaches a plateau.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How do I prepare for the procedure?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"No preparation is necessary for Genesis treatment unless you have a history of facial\ncold sores or herpes virus infection. This is important because laser or light will stimulate the\nherpes virus to erupt, and you must be pre-treated to prevent an eruption.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"What are the risks and side effects?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"This treatment poses very few risks. In rare instances, laser treatment may result in\nscars, an infection, or abnormalities in skin color. There is no bruising and no downtime.\nPrior to treatment potential risks and side effects will be discussed with you by your cosmetic\ncoordinator and medical provider.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"How will I look and feel during and after the treatment?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"The treated area may look more flushed and swollen for a short time to a few hours\nor, in rare cases, for a few days. You may apply makeup and resume normal activities\nimmediately after treatment.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"Are there other ways to get the same benefit?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"Yes. Although Genesis has a unique wavelength and set of pulse durations, the\neLight photorejuvenation treatment may achieve similar results. Other blood-vessel (vascular)\nlasers also work well for redness, such as the VBeam. Advanced Dermatology has three\ndifferent vascular lasers for different skin types and abnormalities, to best meet the details of\neach person's specific skin type and needs, which will be discussed and reviewed in your\nconsultation.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"Can this be combined with other treatments?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"Yes. Genesis can be combined with many other types of treatment. For example, it\ncan be combined with injections of botulinum toxin or fillers. In these cases, the laser treatment\nwould be performed first.\"\n}\n},{\n\"@type\": \"Question\",\n\"name\": \"What is the cost of the procedure?\",\n\"acceptedAnswer\": {\n\"@type\": \"Answer\",\n\"text\": \"The cost depends on the area being treated and the number of treatments. A single\ntreatment costs $395-$1025. 3 to 5 treatments may be necessary to achieve the results you\nwant, and occasionally more are required for optimal results.\"\n}\n}]\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genesis&#x2122; is a type of laser used to improve redness, pore size, small scars and, in dark-skinned patients, uneven color.
