Understanding the signs of aging
When you’re young, your body produces an abundance of a special protein called collagen. Collagen helps support the structures of your body, keeping your organs safe, your joints and bones strong, and your nails and hair healthy.
Collagen also plays an important role in your skin health by restoring dead skin cells and working to repair damage by encouraging the top layer of your skin to regenerate. Found in the middle layer of your skin, collagen and other proteins, like elastin, help keep your skin tight and smooth.
But as we age, our collagen production naturally declines. Signs of diminishing collagen production include:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dry and/or crepey skin
- Sagging, droopy skin
- Sharper, more prominent bones
Although you can’t turn back the hands of time, you can combat the visible signs of aging by stimulating collagen production. When more collagen is present in your system, your body naturally produces more collagen in a domino effect.
Treatments that trigger collagen production work to boost skin turnover, giving you younger, fresher skin and restoring your youthful glow.
How Laser Genesis restores your youthful glow
Noninvasive skin resurfacing treatments with the Laser Genesis system work by stimulating collagen production to improve skin turnover, tighten your pore, minimize oil production, and improve the overall tone and texture of your skin to eradicate sun damage and restore your youthful appearance, including:
- Sun damage
- Facial wrinkles and lines
- Acne scars and other scarring
- General signs of aging
- Uneven skin texture
- Melasma
- Rosacea
By gently heating the deeper layers of your skin with the non-ablative Nd:YAG laser, Laser Genesis treatments plump your skin and reduce the visible signs of aging from the inside out. The heat energy from the treatment also helps constrict your blood vessels, reducing redness and improving the appearance of acne scars and other skin imperfections.
What to expect during a Laser Genesis treatment
Your provider at Sublime Aesthetic Professionals works with you to develop a customized treatment plan, complete with reasonable aesthetic goals and an understanding of what to expect during your laser treatment sessions.
Generally speaking, treatments with Laser Genesis take about 30 minutes each. Some patients notice a visible improvement after one session, but most of our clients benefit from 6-10 treatments spaced three to four weeks apart for optimal results.
Your provider first cleans the treatment area, and as you relax in the treatment chair, you’ll feel a gentle warming sensation. These treatments are pain-free, and you can continue with your daily activities.
You’ll see noticeable results in the weeks following your treatment as the new collagen and skin cells generated take the place of your older, tired skin. The best part? Results from Laser Genesis last up to 12 months, and booster treatments can extend your results even longer.
