Genesis Laser

It is used in various situations:

How does the Genesis laser work?

The Genesis laser “heats” the dermis and stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen. This skin remodeling can be performed on all phototypes.

How many sessions are needed to achieve a satisfactory result?

The treatment using the Genesis laser is carried out over several sessions (4 to 6 sessions), spaced out by 3 to 4 weeks. A rejuvenation of the skin is visible 3 weeks after the first session, but it may take several sessions to achieve an optimal result. To maintain the results (for facial rejuvenation or enlarged pores), a maintenance session is required every 4 to 5 months.

How does the session work?

The patient comes to the appointment with clean, perfectly cleansed skin, free of moisturizer. The doctor sweeps the area to be treated with the Genesis laser without touching the patient’s skin. The patient feels a heat/stinging effect that is quite tolerable. At the end of the session, the patient’s skin has a rosy appearance, and make-up can be applied if desired.

What are the side effects of treatment?

Side effects of the Genesis laser are generally minor and disappear rapidly (pinkish/red appearance of the skin after the session).

What are the contraindications?

Contraindications to laser treatment include: recent tanning, self-tanning, the presence of permanent make-up on the areas to be treated, taking photosensitizing medication, photosensitizing diseases (e.g. lupus), a tendency to develop keloid scars, pregnancy and breast-feeding.

How much does the Genesis laser cost?

Cost according to quotation: from 300 euros/session incl. 21% VAT.

Each treatment is preceded by a consultation to understand your expectations and propose a personalized approach, adapted to your morphology and skin quality. Treatment takes place at the Candide aesthetic dermatology practice in Waterloo, Walloon Brabant.
