I.

What is Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is a gentle, heat-based laser treatment that works beneath the surface of your skin. Using the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, we warm the deeper layers to stimulate collagen, calm redness, refine pores and restore even tone and texture, without touching the surface or interrupting your day.

Often called the lunchtime laser facial, it's comfortable and warming throughout, safe for all skin types and tones, and there's no downtime. You can go straight back to work, or out for the evening.

II.

What it treats

Redness and rosacea. Diffuse redness and flushing calm visibly over a series.

Pores and texture. Skin looks smoother and more refined as collagen rebuilds.

Fine lines. Gradual collagen stimulation softens fine lines and restores firmness.

Acne and acne scarring. Helps calm breakouts and improve the look of post-acne scarring over time.

III.

Better together

Laser Genesis pairs beautifully with DiamondGlow. DiamondGlow deeply exfoliates, extracts and infuses customized serums, creating the ideal canvas for Laser Genesis to refine texture at a deeper level.

For breakouts, it's also a natural next step after the Renewal Series, once active acne has calmed.

What to expect

Results build with each session. Your skin often looks brighter and more even right away, with collagen continuing to improve over the following weeks. For lasting change, most clients see their best results with a series of four to six sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every month or two.

Questions

Does Laser Genesis hurt?

No. Most clients describe a gentle, comfortable warmth, like the feeling of sun on your skin. There's no numbing needed.

Is there any downtime?

None. You may look slightly flushed for an hour or so, and you can apply makeup straight after.

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients see a difference after one session. For redness, texture or scarring, a series of four to six sessions works best, and we'll plan it together at your consultation.

Is it safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Laser Genesis is safe for all skin types and tones, and we tailor the settings to your skin at every visit.

Can I have it before an event?

Yes. With no downtime and an immediate glow, it's a favorite before weddings, photos and events, especially paired with DiamondGlow.
