Laser Genesis at Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery
At Audubon Facial Plastic Surgery in New Orleans, Dr. Claire Melancon offers Laser Genesis treatments designed to address early signs of aging and improve skin tone with a gentle, non-ablative laser approach. This minimally invasive treatment is performed in a boutique, clinical setting, focusing on skin health while keeping patient safety and realistic expectations at the forefront.
Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser treatment that gently heats the skin to boost collagen production and promote new cell growth. It targets redness, fine lines, and mild pigmentation without damaging surrounding tissue—making it safe for most skin types. With no downtime, it's a convenient option for smoother, more even-toned skin.
While results vary from person to person, many patients choose this treatment to address mild texture and tone concerns. By promoting new skin cell turnover and collagen production, this treatment helps improve overall skin quality and appearance.
Combining treatments with Laser Genesis also has its own unique benefits.
Most patients in good general health with mild to moderate skin troubles may be candidates for this treatment. It is often chosen by those noticing early signs of aging, enlarged pores, or diffuse redness. However, certain conditions may make the procedure unsuitable, including active skin infections, autoimmune or connective tissue disorders, recent sun exposure, the use of photosensitizing medications, or pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Laser Genesis can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, mild acne, scars, broken blood vessels, diffuse redness, and mild sun damage. It may also be used for pigmentation, enlarged pores, and areas of rough texture that contribute to uneven skin tone.
During your consultation, the aesthetician will evaluate your skin type, look over your medical history, and discuss your specific skin concerns. Preparation for your treatment may include avoiding direct sunlight for at least two weeks, discontinuing the use of skin-sensitizing products or medications.
A typical Laser Genesis treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Patients often report feeling a gentle warming sensation across the skin during the procedure. No anesthesia is required, which means you can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment.
After treatment, you may experience slight redness that resolves within a few hours. Noticeable improvements in your skin tone and texture often develop gradually, with optimal results achieved after four to six treatments spaced a few weeks apart. After your treatment, it is important to avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen daily.
