Acne scars and stubborn facial redness can be frustrating, especially when topicals stop short of the result you want. Laser Genesis is a gentle, no-downtime laser treatment that addresses both concerns by warming the dermis to stimulate collagen and calm inflammation. It is one of the most popular treatments at our San Antonio medspa for patients who want gradual, natural-looking improvement.
How Laser Genesis helps acne scars
Laser Genesis delivers thousands of micro-pulses of laser energy below the surface of the skin. This controlled heating triggers new collagen production, which fills in soft, rolling acne scars over time. Most patients see meaningful improvement after a series of treatments, and the procedure is comfortable enough that no anesthesia is needed.
Calming rosacea and persistent redness
The same gentle heating that builds collagen also targets the small vascular changes that drive rosacea and steroid-induced redness. Many patients with sensitive, reactive skin tolerate Laser Genesis well because it does not involve aggressive ablation. Over a series of sessions, redness fades, flushing episodes can become less intense, and the skin looks more even overall.
What to expect during treatment
A typical session takes 30 to 45 minutes and feels like a warm massage on the skin. There is no peeling, no scabbing, and no required downtime. Most patients return to work or social plans the same day. A treatment plan usually involves a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, with a maintenance treatment every few months to preserve results.
Is it right for you?
Laser Genesis is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. The best candidates have realistic expectations and are willing to commit to a series for the best result. For deeper acne scars or significant texture concerns, your provider may recommend combining Laser Genesis with microneedling or Secret RF for a layered approach.
