[Transformative Results] Genesis Toning

Genesis Toning Treatment: What to Consider

• Genesis Toning is performed with a minimum of 2,000 shots to ensure that thermal energy is delivered uniformly across the entire face.
• Once the treatment is complete, we verify the total number of shots actually used with the patient.
• The fluence, or energy intensity, is adjusted to ensure that sufficient thermal energy is delivered to the dermal layer of the skin, expecting meaningful changes. After closely examining each patient's skin condition, the minimum effective intensity required to reach the dermis is applied. We avoid treatments with low intensity that are unlikely to achieve the desired improvement.
• We customize the treatment patterns and stacking techniques to address various skin concerns such as pores, redness, and elasticity, which differ for each patient.
• During the treatment, the medical staff meticulously focuses on finely adjusting the speed of the handpiece's movement, the direction of irradiation, and the number of shot overlaps to deliver appropriate thermal reactions to the desired skin areas.
• Sufficient overlapping shots are applied for a customized treatment suitable for each patient's skin concerns, and the treatment time is carefully adjusted to ensure that the necessary energy is sufficiently delivered to the skin.
• From skin diagnosis to post-treatment result verification, the entire process is systematically managed to enhance trust in the treatment.

Medical Staff's Approach to Genesis Toning Treatment

The results of Genesis Toning treatment may vary individually depending on the technical approach and proficiency of the medical staff performing the treatment.

We prioritize establishing a careful treatment plan based on a deep understanding of Genesis Toning's core principles and technical aspects, going beyond mere equipment operation.

1. Over 2,000 shots of irradiation

Genesis treatment delivers thermal energy to the dermal layer of the skin to promote collagen production and stabilize dilated blood vessels.

Desired improvements are only possible when sufficient thermal energy is repeatedly delivered to the skin. Accordingly, we plan treatments with a minimum of 2,000 shots.

Irradiation of less than 2,000 shots can make it difficult for energy to be evenly distributed across the entire face, making it challenging to achieve the desired level of improvement.

2. Disclosure of total shot count after treatment

After the treatment is completed, we personally confirm the total number of shots actually applied with the patient.

This process enhances trust in the treatment and provides an opportunity to jointly review whether the amount of energy delivered was appropriate.

3. Maintaining appropriate fluence (energy intensity)

Genesis Toning works by gradually accumulating thermal energy in the dermal layer to induce improvement. If the energy intensity (fluence) is insufficient, the energy may not fully reach the dermal layer, making it difficult to achieve the desired response.

We finely adjust the energy according to each patient's individual skin condition. At the same time, we are careful not to perform treatments below the minimum intensity from which actual improvements can be expected.

Emphasizing only the number of treatments without the expectation of actual improvement is not our approach.

4. Area-specific treatment tailored to skin concerns

Before treatment, the medical staff observes the patient's main areas of concern closely with them in front of a mirror. Based on this diagnosis, a treatment plan is established to induce appropriate thermal reactions in each area and align with the desired direction of improvement.

Areas with redness or dilated blood vessels are treated with focus to alleviate excessive vascular reactions and restore skin stability.

Areas of concern for pores or fine wrinkles can expect improvement by delivering deep thermal stimulation through multiple overlapping shots.

For areas with reduced elasticity, stacking techniques are utilized to concentrate thermal reactions on specific areas, thereby inducing more delicate changes.

5. Medical Staff's Skilled Treatment Techniques

During Genesis Toning, simply moving the handpiece quickly may not achieve the sufficiently desired effects.

Therefore, the treatment is performed by carefully adjusting the handpiece's movement speed, irradiation angle, number of shot overlaps, and interval between passes.

Especially for sensitive skin areas, a quick and shallow irradiation method is applied to minimize irritation.

For areas where elasticity improvement is expected, slow and repetitive irradiation is performed to ensure sufficient thermal energy delivery, treating deeply into the skin.

After a first pass that gently scans the skin surface, more concentrated irradiation continues from the second pass to effectively accumulate heat in the dermal layer.

6. Appropriate Treatment Time and Energy Density

Genesis Toning treatment holds significant meaning beyond simply meeting a set number of shots.

Since delicate overlapping irradiation and energy intensity adjustments are made according to each patient's specific skin concerns, the actual treatment time may exceed 10 minutes.

Through this meticulous process, we ensure that the necessary energy is sufficiently delivered to the skin.

7. Systematic Diagnosis and Management Before and After Treatment

Before treatment, we use Mark-Vu diagnostic equipment to precisely analyze the skin condition. Additionally, through in-depth consultation with the medical staff, the target areas for treatment are clearly defined.

During the treatment, we closely observe the skin's thermal response and the patient's comfort level in real-time, carefully adjusting the energy.

After the procedure, we will jointly check the treated area with you in a mirror, and we will also inform you of the total number of laser shots used.

We carefully consider and proceed with all treatment processes to ensure our patients feel comfortable and at ease.

How Genesis Toning Works

Genesis Toning uses a quasi-long pulse Nd:YAG laser with a 1064nm wavelength. This laser energy is delivered to the skin's dermis in multiple passes, and heat gradually accumulates within the skin.

Before the skin completely dissipates the heat, it continuously receives warm stimulation. When this sensation of warmth accumulates beyond a certain level, it is known that fibroblasts in the dermis can be activated.

Fibroblasts are cells that play a very important role in skin tissue. These cells are responsible for producing key components that make up the skin, such as collagen and elastin.

Collagen increases skin density, making the skin firmer. It can especially help with pore management by strengthening the support structure around the pores.

Elastin is a component responsible for skin elasticity. It can help prevent skin from sagging or drooping and maintain its natural firmness.

As collagen and elastin production become more active, overall skin texture can improve, with reduced pore size and faded fine lines. Changes after the procedure may vary for each individual.

This thermal stimulation delivered to the dermis can also have some effect on blood vessels within the skin.

Even without causing undue damage to blood vessels, consistent, gentle thermal stimulation can help regulate excessive capillary responses. As a result, it can positively impact reducing symptoms like facial redness and a sensation of heat.

Especially for improving PIE (Post-inflammatory Erythema), which are red marks remaining after acne has subsided, Genesis Toning can be considered.

Unlike typical brown hyperpigmentation, PIE is often associated with microvascular dilation or mild inflammatory responses in the dermis.

Due to the complex nature of PIE, it is often difficult to achieve satisfactory improvement with simple brightening care, exfoliation, or just one or two vascular laser treatments.

The continuous thermal stimulation provided by Genesis Toning can help regulate hypersensitivity of blood vessel walls that cause red marks, and reduce the activity of inflammation-related substances like histamine and prostaglandins.

Furthermore, it can be expected to calm the overactivation of immune cells in the dermis, helping the skin react less sensitively to external stimuli.

Therefore, it is best to understand Genesis Toning not as a treatment to completely remove red marks in a short time, but rather as a procedure that manages the tendency for skin redness long-term and helps stabilize the skin overall.

Thanks to these characteristics, it is considered a relatively gentle treatment that even those with sensitive skin or those who have experienced hyperpigmentation after strong vascular treatments in the past can try without much burden.

This gradual accumulation of heat within the skin is called 'Thermal Stacking'. This treatment method aims to consistently and healthily improve the functional structure of the dermis without overstimulating the epidermis.

Expected Changes with Genesis Toning

Pore Contraction

When collagen production becomes more active within the dermis, skin elasticity can increase. As a result, you can expect a gradual reduction in enlarged pores.

Skin Texture Refinement and Fine Line Reduction

As the overall structure of the skin improves and becomes healthier, fine lines can be reduced, and rough skin texture can become smoother. This can also help improve the absorption and adherence of cosmetics.

Soothing Facial Redness and Sensation of Heat

By regulating excessive dilation of skin blood vessels and calming mild inflammatory reactions, you can expect a positive effect in alleviating recurring symptoms of facial redness.

Improvement of Red Marks Remaining After Acne (PIE)

Red marks that are less directly related to melanin pigment and primarily caused by microvascular issues can gradually fade through continuous thermal stimulation from the laser.

Enhanced Skin Elasticity

When fibroblast activity within the dermis is activated, skin thickness can be maintained more healthily, and overall skin elasticity and density can improve.

Overall Skin Tone Improvement and Natural Radiance

When blood circulation within the dermis becomes smoother, dull-looking skin tone can improve to a clearer complexion, and a healthy radiance can subtly shine through from the skin itself.

Cases Where Genesis Toning May Be Considered

When skin elasticity has decreased, making pores appear enlarged

Individuals with sensitive skin that tends to flush easily with emotions or changes in external temperature

When red marks persist for a long time after acne has calmed down

When skin texture is not smooth and visible fine lines are a concern

When you feel burdened by highly stimulating procedures, or wish to manage your skin comfortably without irritation

Those who desire synergistic effects by combining with other treatments like skin boosters, or are looking for a laser treatment with minimal skin irritation

Recommended Frequency for Genesis Toning Treatment

Genesis Toning generally has little burden regarding returning to daily life after the procedure. You can comfortably resume most activities immediately after the treatment, making it a viable option for regular skin management.

Recommended Treatment Interval

Initially, for intensive care, it is recommended to receive treatments once every 1-2 weeks, for a total of approximately 10 sessions.

Treatment Plan by Goal

If you wish to improve pores or fine wrinkles, you may consider about 10 sessions, once a week.

For the relief of facial redness or post-inflammatory erythema (PIE), 10 sessions may be performed at 1-2 week intervals.

If your goal is to improve overall skin tone brightness and uniformity, you can schedule a total of 10 sessions, once every 1-2 weeks.

Maintaining Treatment Results

After the initial intensive treatment, it can be helpful to receive maintenance treatments every 2-3 weeks. This can aid in collagen regeneration and contribute to continuous management of overall skin health.

How painful is Genesis Toning?

Most people report not feeling significant pain during Genesis Toning.

If you don't feel any sensation during the procedure, it's possible that the laser energy is not being properly delivered to the dermis layer of your skin.

For the necessary thermal energy to be accurately delivered to the dermis, you might feel a gentle warmth inside your skin during the procedure, or a slightly warm sensation depending on the area. When you feel this, it indicates that sufficient heat is being well-delivered to the dermis, allowing you to expect effective results.

Our Medical Team's Philosophy on Treatment

Satisfactory results can be achieved when a treatment balances appropriate energy settings with the skilled approach of the medical team.

In Genesis Toning, while applying a sufficient number of shots is important, adjusting energy intensity based on individual skin characteristics and precisely setting the treatment area also significantly impact the outcome.

We strive to faithfully adhere to these principles throughout every step of the procedure.

Rather than merely following a set procedure, we approach each treatment with the goal of providing genuine skin improvement for every individual patient.
