(Genesis Laser)
411
Genesis Laser therapy can be customized to your skin type. By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin’s surface, Genesis stimulates collagen regrowth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness. A series of four to six sessions significantly improves texture, and it can be done regularly for maintenance. It’s great for any area of the face or body.

What to Expect:
(Clear + Brilliant)
411
Clear + Brilliant is the lunch-break laser. Think 45 minutes of painless (a dab of numbing cream will do), but warm zapping in return for a more even, glowing complexion with a side of extra elasticity when the heat kicks skin into high gear healing mode. Results can last several months when combined with good skin care, and a series of four to six sessions will significantly smooth texture and brighten stubborn pigment.
What's normal
-
Red skin that feels hot for a few hours after treatment.
-
Dry, flaky patches and roughness that reminds you of sandpaper for three to five days. Good news: the peeling is typically not visible to others.
Doctor's orders
-
Discontinue light-sensitive oral antibiotics one week prior to treatment.
-
Discontinue retinol/retin A use one week prior to treatment.
-
Apply ice packs, as needed, to cool off your complexion and soothe any redness.
-
Always apply sunscreen to bare skin.
-
Once your skin feels like its back to its young self—about day five—you can return to your regular skin care regimen.

What to Expect:
(Fraxel)
411
Fraxel is hands down, the top of the line in skin laser resurfacing. It supercharges cell turn over and skin regeneration like no other laser treatment. Perfect for repairing summer sun damage, reducing wrinkles and scarring, and improving skin tone and texture. Follow up with a dermaplane two weeks later and your skin will feel velvety smooth!
What's normal
-
Red skin that feels hot for a day or 2 after treatment.
-
Darkening/bronzing of the skin 1-2 days after treatment. On closer inspection, the tiny laser “dots” will look like coffee grounds.
-
Dry, peeling patches and roughness for 3-5 days.
-
Healing time for the face is usually 5-7 days, but give neck/décolletage hands/arms up to 2 weeks.
Doctor's orders
-
Melasma clients use hydroquinone products two weeks prior and post treatment.
-
Discontinue use of retional/retin A products one week prior to treatment.
-
Discontinue light-sensitive oral anti-biotics one week prior to treatment.
-

-
Use only the post-treatment skin care goodies we give you, and apply sun protection like it’s your job, for at least three to five days.
-
Always apply sunscreen to bare skin.
-
Once your skin feels like its back to its young self—about 7-10 days—you can go back to your regular skin care regimen.
