BEAM ME UP
WORDS LOUISE DUNN
Images were used to assess both my skin’s current and future concerns, measuring the surface and subsurface layers of the skin. Enlarged pores, dehydration, sensitivity, and inflammation were obvious culprits. What surprised me was the future image, revealing UV pigmentation and rosacea not yet visible on my skin’s surface. This technology emphasized the gravity of preventative skincare.
The prescribed course of action, recommended by Jody Burke, director and national educator in advanced skin treatments, was Laser Genesis. This near-infrared (NIR) Nd laser induces controlled thermal injury, encouraging collagen production and addressing fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and redness. The best part? Absolutely zero downtime.
Touted as a beauty secret among the celebrity elite, Laser Genesis is praised for diminishing acne scars, refining texture, and tightening pores, leaving you with a vibrant glow. It targets rosacea by heating the upper dermis to reduce inflammation and redness. For acne, the laser’s heat kills acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin. Sessions last 20-30 minutes and feel like a warm sunray — a comfort during winter.
Over time, collagen stimulation tightens pores and smooths skin, refining its appearance.
