Solar Genesis skin therapy is an innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably remove sun and age spots from your face, chest, arms, and hands. There is no need for gel or topical anesthesia.

The signs of sun damage and age will flake off after one or two treatments, leaving clear, younger looking skin!

Before and After pictures.

What areas can be treated?
Virtually any part of the body can be safely treated. Solar genesis will reduce sun and age spots or freckles. Both discrete spots and skin densely covered with freckles respond well.

How does it work?
Solar genesis works when the visible light delivered during the procedure is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots on your skin. It is the heating of the pigmented cells that causes the therapeutic effect.

How long do the treatments take?
The actual treatment will only take a few minutes. Since there is no need to apply gel or any topical anesthetic, your total appointment time can easily fit into your lunch hour.

How many treatments will I need?
Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see dramatic results. Additional treatments may be needed for very large or dark spots or for densely covered areas.

Who provides the treatments?
Registered Nurses and Physician Assistants who are Certified Laser Professionals under the direct supervision of the Medical Director.

What does it feel like?
Solar genesis will feel cool and comfortable as the handpiece is placed on your skin. As the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation.

What are the possible side effects?
Immediately following the treatment, the spots may start to darken. You may notice a slight reddening of the surrounding skin. This typically subsides within a couple of hours. Over the course of the next one to three weeks, darkened spots will fade and flake off. Consult your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.

Will the spots reappear over time?
No. New spots may appear. These too can be removed. Remember to liberally apply sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots.

When will I see results?
Most people find the majority of their treated spots have shown significant improvement within two to three weeks of treatment. However, your final result may not be apparent for a month or more.
