What Is Laser Genesis?
Downtime: None
Pain Level: Minimal
Results Duration: Long-Lasting with Maintenance
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive, non-ablative laser facial that gently heats the dermis to stimulate collagen production and restore skin’s natural glow. It improves skin tone, reduces redness, minimizes pores, and fades hyperpigmentation, all with minimal downtime. Safe for all skin types, this treatment is a favorite for patients seeking visible results without discomfort or recovery time.
How Does It Work?
- Laser Genesis uses micro pulses of laser energy to safely heat the dermal layer of the skin.
- Gentle thermal stimulation promotes collagen renewal, constricts blood vessels that cause redness, and smooths uneven skin texture.
- The device is passed over the skin in a precise, controlled motion, delivering a warm, relaxing sensation.

What to Expect During Treatment
Your Laser Genesis treatment begins with a consultation, where your provider will assess your skin concerns, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. Based on this evaluation, a customized treatment plan will be created to address your specific skin tone, texture, and concerns. On the day of your treatment, your skin will be cleansed to remove any makeup or oil. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the laser.
During the procedure, a handheld laser device moves slowly across your skin about a half inch above the surface, delivering micro pulses of heat to the dermis. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and soothing—similar to being near a campfire. Treatment typically takes 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
After your treatment, you may notice mild redness, dryness, or a warm sensation in the treated area, which usually fades within a few hours. There is no required downtime, and you can resume most normal activities right away. Full results are achieved gradually after a series of 4-6 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
Is It Safe?
Yes! Laser Genesis is FDA-cleared and highly regarded for its safety and comfort. It is non-ablative and is safe for all skin types. The risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring is extremely low when performed by trained professionals.
- Mild redness or dryness lasting a few hours
- Warmth or flushed appearance post-treatment
- Rarely, slight irritation or sensitivity
- Have frequent cold sore outbreaks (HSV) — antiviral medication, like Valtrex, is recommended beforehand
