Laser Genesis works using a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser to gently heat the dermis (middle layer of skin), stimulating collagen production and promoting healthy skin cell turnover. It’s a non-ablative resurfacing laser treatment, which means it doesn’t cause any damage to the epidermis (top layer of skin) so there is no downtime after the treatment. This process helps reduce fine lines, improves skin texture, and evens out skin tone, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion.

You may notice subtle improvements immediately after the first treatment, with more significant results developing over the course of 4-6 sessions as collagen production increases over time.

A series of 4-6 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Maintenance sessions may be needed to sustain the results.

The results of Laser Genesis can last several months, especially with regular maintenance treatments and proper skincare.

Laser Genesis is suitable for all skin tones and types and can be performed any time of the year. However, it is essential to have a consultation and patch test to determine if this treatment is suitable for your specific skin concerns and goals.

Laser Genesis treatments are well tolerated, with most patients experiencing a gentle warming sensation on the skin as the laser passes over the area. Some people liken the sensation to feeling warm rain droplets on the skin. Local anaesthetic or pain medication is not required.

It is best to schedule your Laser Genesis treatment course at least 2-3 months before a big event to achieve optimal results. Individual treatments can be done closer to the event for a quick skin refresh.

Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive treatment with no downtime, resulting in natural looking improvements without noticeable signs of the procedure. Any redness immediately following the treatment typically subsides within a few hours and you can resume your normal daily activities right away.

Yes, Laser Genesis works brilliantly when combined in the same treatment with Limelight IPL treatment (2D Facial), light chemical peels, vascular/vein treatment and microneedling. When combining with injectable treatments, it may be advisable to wait a couple of weeks. Discuss your aesthetic goals with your practitioner to devise your personalised treatment plan.
