Dermaplaning and Laser Genesis: Why These Treatments Work Well Together
Some skin treatments provide an immediate refresh. Others are designed to create gradual improvements over time. Combining dermaplaning and Laser Genesis allows suitable clients to experience a little of both.
Dermaplaning focuses on the surface of the skin, while Laser Genesis delivers controlled heat below the surface. Together, they can support smoother, brighter and more refined-looking skin.
What Does Dermaplaning Do?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a specialized tool to gently remove surface buildup and fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz.
After dermaplaning, the skin may immediately feel smoother and look brighter. Makeup can apply more evenly, and skincare products can be applied to a freshly exfoliated surface.
Dermaplaning may be especially appealing when the skin feels rough, dry or dull.
What Does Laser Genesis Do?
Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser treatment. It uses gentle, controlled heat to target visible redness and support collagen remodelling.
The treatment can help improve the appearance of:
- Redness and rosacea
- Visible pores
- Uneven texture
- Fine lines
- Uneven tone
- Certain scars
While dermaplaning creates an immediate surface-level change, the benefits of Laser Genesis tend to build gradually.
Why Combine Dermaplaning and Laser Genesis?
When recommended by your provider, dermaplaning can prepare a smoother surface before Laser Genesis is performed.
There are three main reasons clients may choose the combination.
1. Immediate Smoothness
Dermaplaning removes surface buildup and fine hair, so the skin can feel noticeably smoother immediately after the treatment.
2. Gradual Skin Refinement
Laser Genesis works below the surface to support improvements in tone, redness, pores, texture and fine lines over time.
3. A More Complete Skin Refresh
The combination addresses the look and feel of the skin at different levels. Dermaplaning focuses on surface smoothness, while Laser Genesis focuses on gradual skin revitalization.
Is There Downtime?
Laser Genesis is generally performed without planned downtime. Dermaplaning is also considered minimally invasive, although temporary redness, sensitivity or irritation can occur with either treatment.
Clients should carefully follow the aftercare instructions provided by their Lezara treatment provider. Sun protection is especially important after professional exfoliation or laser treatment.
Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning may not be suitable for someone with active acne, a current cold sore outbreak, eczema, psoriasis, an active rash or another irritated skin condition.
Combining treatments is not automatically the right choice for every client. Your provider will examine your skin, review your health history and decide whether the combination is appropriate.
When Will I See Results?
Dermaplaning can create an immediate smoother and brighter-looking finish. Laser Genesis results are generally more gradual because the treatment is intended to support changes below the skin’s surface.
Some clients benefit from a series of Laser Genesis appointments. The recommended number and frequency will depend on your skin and the concerns being treated.
