Laser Genesis has quickly become the most requested laser facial. Genesis is non-invasive treatment performed by using a YAG laser to gently heat the upper dermis. By doing so, Laser Genesis has been scientifically proven to stimulate collagen regrowth with no downtime and minimal discomfort. Laser Genesis kick-starts new collagen production, to repair signs of aging and sun damage. A non-ablative laser (meaning that it doesn’t remove the skin’s top layer), it uses micro-pulse technology at a wavelength of 1064nm, firing short bursts of energy so quickly that it doesn’t damage the skin's surface. In the hands of an experienced provider, it can safely treat fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, redness, rosacea, large pores, and acne scars, all without any downtime! Laser Genesis can be your new go-to lunch break facial treatment. Come in for 20 minutes and leave with firmer and tighter skin, a more even complexion and reduced pore size, rosacea and acne scarring. What does Laser Genesis address?
