What are Energy Devices?
Energy Devices encompass a range of technologies that harness the power of light energy to improve the skin. These treatments offer a non-surgical and minimally invasive approach to address various signs of aging and imperfections. Here at McGee Plastic Surgery, we offer three cutting-edge Energy Devices, each with unique benefits:
This innovative treatment combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. Tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production, while the RF energy further enhances these results. Genius® is ideal for improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, and minimizing scars.
This laser treatment gently removes the outer layer of damaged skin, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion. KeraLase™ effectively addresses sun damage, uneven skin tone, and mild wrinkles.
This advanced laser resurfacing treatment utilizes fractional technology to deliver targeted energy deep into the skin. LaseMD Ultra™ stimulates collagen production, leading to improvements in fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and overall skin texture.

Consultation and Preparation
During your consultation with Dr. McGee, she will discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns. She will then examine your skin and recommend the most appropriate laser or energy device treatment for you. She will also explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions you may have, and discuss potential risks and side effects. To prepare for your treatment, Dr. McGee may recommend avoiding sun exposure and certain medications or supplements.
Procedure
The specific procedure will vary depending on the chosen laser or energy device. Generally, these treatments involve minimal discomfort and require no anesthesia. A topical numbing cream may be applied for additional comfort. The treatment itself typically takes less than an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area and the device used.
Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
The results of Energy Devices treatments are gradual and become more noticeable over time as your skin continues to produce new collagen. You may see some initial improvement immediately following the treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks and months.
Recovery time is minimal for most Energy Devices. You may experience some temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort following the treatment, which typically resolves within a few days. Dr. McGee will provide specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results, such as applying sunscreen daily and avoiding sun exposure.
