Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis uses a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser to deliver gentle, controlled heat deep into the upper dermis (below the skin's surface) without any ablation or disruption to the outer layer. This thermal energy stimulates the skin's natural collagen production, gradually improving texture, firmness, and tone over a series of treatments. The heat also reduces diffuse redness, reducing persistent redness and flushing.

Because the surface of the skin is never broken, laser genesis skin therapy is one of the most comfortable and low-risk treatments available for ongoing skin maintenance.

Laser genesis suits a wide range of skin types and concerns. It is an excellent option for clients managing rosacea, diffuse redness, or sensitised skin where more aggressive treatments are not appropriate. It also works well for those wanting to address enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture, or early signs of ageing without any downtime.

Because it is gentle and non-ablative, laser genesis therapy is equally suited to clients in active maintenance, or those who have already addressed their primary concerns and want to preserve and build on their results over time. If you are unsure whether this is the right treatment for your skin, a consultation will confirm.

Laser genesis treatment is widely considered one of the most comfortable laser treatments available. Most clients describe a gentle, relaxing warmth on the skin as the handpiece moves across the treatment area, similar to the feeling of mild sun warmth. There is no snapping, stinging, or discomfort, and no numbing cream or anaesthetic is required. The treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes for a full face, and most clients find it genuinely relaxing.

No. Zero downtime is one of the defining features of laser genesis treatment and what sets it apart from more intensive resurfacing lasers. You can return to work, exercise, and normal daily activities immediately after your session. Some clients experience very mild, transient redness for an hour or so after treatment, which is normal and resolves quickly. SPF is recommended post-treatment as standard.

For best results, an initial series of 4–6 laser genesis treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended, depending on your skin concerns and goals. Results are cumulative, with each session building on the last, with collagen remodelling continuing in the weeks following treatment. Once your initial series is complete, monthly or quarterly maintenance sessions help sustain and deepen your results over time. Laser Genesis is also an excellent standalone treatment before a special event, delivering an immediate glow with no recovery period required.

• Avoid unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds, and fake tan for 2–4 weeks prior to your treatment. Tanned skin absorbs laser energy differently and increases the risk of uneven results.
  
• Arrive with clean skin on the day — free of makeup, SPF, and skincare products.
  
• Avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs for 3–5 days before your appointment, as these can increase skin sensitivity.
  
• Inform your therapist of any current medications, particularly light-sensitising or photosensitising drugs, before your session.
  
• Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to treatment. Skin that is well nourished responds better to laser genesis skin therapy.

• Apply SPF 50 immediately after your session and every morning without fail for at least 2–4 weeks post-treatment. Sun protection is non-negotiable after any laser genesis facial treatment.
  
• Avoid unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds, and fake tan for 2–4 weeks.
  
• Avoid heat sources like hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and vigorous exercise for 48 hours post-treatment to allow any mild residual warmth in the skin to fully settle.
  
• Keep your skin barrier supported with gentle, hydrating skincare in the days following your session. Avoid reintroducing active ingredients such as retinoids or exfoliating acids for at least 3–5 days.
  
• If you experience any mild redness or sensitivity after your laser treatment, a fragrance-free moisturiser and cool compress will help settle the skin.
