Laser Genesis treatments work by gently heating the upper layers of the dermis just below the skin’s surface, sending healing light energy to the skin. This process helps fade blemishes, promotes cell turnover, and stimulates collagen. It also improves redness and mild hyperpigmentation. Laser Genesis is an awesome service on its own, or to combine with other advanced aesthetic services for a more comprehensive service.

This treatment is done in a thirty-minute appointment slot, but Laser Genesis can be conveniently added to many of our other aesthetic treatments for a deeper, more regenerative treatment.
