How Does the Altus Genesis Laser Work?
The Altus Genesis Laser is a non-ablative form of skin therapy which means that it doesn't harm the skin's surface. The Altus Genesis Laser passes through the skin to the blood vessels where the energy is absorbed by pigment in the blood, causing selective damage to the lining of the target blood vessel without damaging the surrounding tissues and skin. This stimulates collagen to replenish itself, reducing wrinkles and improving skin tone.
What Does the Altus Genesis Laser Treat?
The Altus Genesis Laser is approved for the entire facial and neck area, for all skin types and treats many symptoms of premature aging such as wrinkles, rosacea and acne scars. Our patients report improvement of facial veins and redness, and reduction in wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and pore size.
What Are Altus Genesis Laser Treatments Like?
Treatments with the Altus Genesis Laser are virtually painless. The procedure is performed in a comfortable setting and only lasts about 30 minutes. The Altus Genesis Laser treatments feel like a gentle warming on the skin and some patients say that it feels like a tingling sensation. The Altus Genesis Laser is so gentle that no general or local anesthesia is needed. Better yet, because the treatment in non-invasive there is no downtime so that you can return to your normal activities immediately.
The gentle nature of the Altus Genesis Laser requires three to six appointments in about one-month intervals. Results are more subtle than other, more invasive treatments. Patients often report seeing more results after the third treatment.
Does It Hurt and What Can Go Wrong?
Treatments with the Altus Genesis Laser are relatively simple and painless. Risks are minimized because patients do not require anesthesia and the treatments are non-ablative (no harm to the skin surface and no removal of tissue). There are no side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Also, because of its non-invasive nature, the Altus Genesis Laser treatments do not require complicated post-treatment care.
Immediately after treatments you may experience temporary, minor redness, but this usually only lasts a few hours.
What Should I expect from an Altus Genesis Laser Treatment?
An Altus Genesis Laser treatment normally lasts about 30 minutes and is performed in a relaxed, comfortable setting. The treatment itself has been described as "gentle warming" or a tingling on the skin. Because the Altus Genesis Laser is non-ablative, patients can return to work the same day. Some patients experience a minor redness on treated areas, but this usually lasts only a few hours. Subtle improvements are seen with each treatment with gradual wrinkle reduction and a general over-all improvement to the skin, giving a more vibrant, youthful appearance.
