Going in for a Laser Genesis treatment is actually very relaxing—much like a luxurious facial would be, but more effective. There might still be those out there that want to spend upwards of a $100 on a traditional facial where the skin is steamed and a mask is put on, but for those that are serious about their skin, upping the ante with a Laser Genesis facial is money well spent. While it can take up to six treatments to see optimal results from a Laser Genesis, it will really pay off in the long run. Traditional facials will not stimulate collagen regrowth or get rid of sunspots and diminish pores but a Laser Genesis facial will. Laser Genesis also diffuses the facial redness that accompanies rosacea. Laser Genesis is the ultimate lunchtime procedure—your skin will be completely rejuvenated in under a half hour, getting you back to your office before lunch hour is over.
