What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses advanced 1064nm Nd:YAG laser technology to effectively improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall radiance. Often referred to as a “lunchtime laser,” it comfortably heats the deeper layers of your skin to stimulate natural collagen production, shrink enlarged pores, reduce fine lines, and minimise redness and acne scarring.
Key benefits of Laser Genesis include:
-
Improved skin texture – smoother, softer, and more refined skin.
-
Reduced redness – calms rosacea, diffuse redness, and broken capillaries.
-
Smaller pores – tightens enlarged pores and creates a more even skin surface.
-
Collagen stimulation – visibly firmer, plumper, and younger-looking skin.
-
Minimal downtime – immediate return to daily activities after your session.
Laser Genesis treatments at Contour Clinics are comfortable, quick, and suitable for all skin types. Regular treatments can visibly restore your skin’s youthful glow, clarity, and smoothness.

This innovative technology targets multiple skin concerns at once, delivering a range of impressive skin rejuvenation benefits:
-
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen for firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin.
-
Minimises Enlarged Pores: Tightens and refines your skin’s texture, resulting in visibly smaller pores.

Can laser genesis cause fat loss?
No, Laser Genesis does not cause fat loss. Laser Genesis uses gentle, non-invasive laser energy (1064nm Nd:YAG) that specifically targets your skin’s superficial and deeper dermal layers, stimulating collagen production without affecting underlying fat tissue.
This technology is designed exclusively to improve your skin texture, reduce redness, tighten pores, and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike certain more aggressive energy-based procedures that may penetrate deeper into subcutaneous fat layers, Laser Genesis operates at controlled depths to ensure no impact on facial volume or fat cells.
At Contour Clinics, our trained clinicians carefully perform Laser Genesis treatments using optimal protocols to safely rejuvenate your skin with minimal risk of unwanted side effects.
Can laser genesis damage your skin?
All medical procedures carry risk. You should discuss the risks as they relate to your own unique circumstances with your clinician prior to treatment.
When performed correctly by qualified medical professionals, Laser Genesis is highly unlikely to damage your skin. This gentle, non-invasive, non-ablative treatment precisely targets deeper layers of the skin without affecting its surface, minimising the risk of complications.
However, like all laser treatments, minor temporary side effects may occasionally occur, including:
Significant side effects such as scarring, burns, or pigmentation changes are exceptionally rare and generally linked to incorrect application or inadequate training.
At Contour Clinics, our highly experienced clinicians adhere to strict safety protocols, ensuring your treatment experience is safe, comfortable, and effective—delivering smooth, radiant, and healthy skin without unwanted damage.
Can you exercise after laser genesis?
Yes, you can safely exercise after a Laser Genesis treatment; however, we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before engaging in vigorous workouts or activities that cause heavy sweating.
Immediately following your treatment, your skin might feel slightly warm and sensitive. Excessive sweating, friction, or heat can irritate freshly treated skin and may temporarily increase redness or prolong sensitivity. Gentle exercise such as walking or light stretching is perfectly fine and can usually be done immediately.
Can you wear makeup after laser genesis?
Yes, you can safely wear makeup after Laser Genesis treatments. However, we recommend waiting until any immediate warmth or redness subsides—typically about 2–4 hours after treatment. This brief waiting period allows your skin to fully settle, reducing the chance of irritation or clogged pores.
When applying makeup post-treatment, we suggest:
-
Using mineral-based makeup, which is gentle and allows your skin to breathe.
-
Ensuring your brushes and sponges are clean to minimise any risk of irritation or infection.
-
Avoiding heavy foundations or creams for the first 24 hours to let your skin fully benefit from the treatment’s collagen-stimulating effects.
Does laser genesis cause breakouts?
Laser Genesis typically does not cause breakouts and is, in fact, often used to improve acne-prone skin by reducing inflammation, calming redness, and minimising acne scarring. Its gentle, collagen-stimulating heat targets deeper skin layers without clogging pores or increasing oil production.
However, in rare cases, some patients may experience mild, temporary purging or slight skin congestion as impurities surface due to the increased cellular turnover. This typically resolves quickly, leaving clearer, healthier skin behind.
You can usually tell the difference by:
- Purge typically lasts 2-4 weeks
- Breakout lasts 6 weeks +
Does laser genesis hurt?
No, Laser Genesis treatments are considered very comfortable and pain-free. Patients typically describe the sensation as a warm, soothing feeling, similar to gentle sunlight warming your skin, without any significant discomfort or pain.
Because Laser Genesis gently heats the deeper layers of your skin without damaging the surface, no anaesthetic or numbing cream is required. Many of our patients find the treatment relaxing enough to enjoy during their lunch breaks or between daily activities.
Does laser genesis tighten skin?
Laser Genesis can provide mild to moderate skin tightening, primarily by gently stimulating collagen and elastin production within the deeper layers of your skin. While results vary among individuals, most patients experience subtle improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture over multiple treatments.
Typical benefits include:
It’s important to note that Laser Genesis is not an aggressive skin-tightening procedure, and results are gradual and cumulative rather than dramatic or immediate. For more significant skin laxity concerns, alternative treatments may be recommended.
How many laser genesis treatments do I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results after a series of approximately 4–6 Laser Genesis treatments, spaced around 2–4 weeks apart. The exact number of sessions you require depends on your individual skin goals, concerns, and the condition of your skin prior to treatment.
While you’ll often notice initial improvements after just one or two treatments—such as smoother texture, reduced redness, and improved skin clarity—Laser Genesis delivers cumulative benefits. This means the most significant results become increasingly visible after multiple sessions.
How often can you get laser genesis?
Laser Genesis treatments are typically performed every 4 weeks. This interval provides the optimal timeframe for your skin to naturally regenerate collagen and elastin, maximising your treatment results safely and effectively.
