Laser Genesis^TM

1064nm Nd:YAG Laser

Laser Genesis is a breakthrough non-ablative photorejuvenation procedure that provides multiple benefits beyond the popular "photo-facial" trend of recent years. Laser Genesis addresses common skin conditions due to the aging process and the result is a healthier, younger-looking complexion. Clinical effects such as reduced wrinkles, diminished pore size, reduction in erythema and improved skin texture are all possible with this exclusive technology.

In an article published by the Archives of Dermatology, Dr. David Goldberg used electron microscopy analysis to measure the diameter of the dermal collagen fibers after Laser Genesis treatment. There was a statistically significant decrease in the collagen fiber diameter caused by the production of new collagen - actually increasing skin firmness and improving skin texture.

Advantages of Laser Genesis

Through gentle heating of the dermis, fine structures such as the microvasculature are targeted and ultimately Type 1 collagen is formed with cross-linking of the fibers.
All skin types may be treated -even during the summer- without fear of complications
No gel or anesthesia is required.

FDA Clearance

Laser Genesis is cleared for the treatment of wrinkles such as, but not limited to, wrinkles located around the eyes and mouth.
