What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment using 1064nm Nd:YAG laser technology. It aims to support natural collagen production and may help improve skin texture, tone, and radiance.
Potential benefits of Laser Genesis treatment include:
-
Improved skin texture.
-
Reduced redness: may assist in addressing redness, rosacea, and superficial capillaries.
-
Pore refinement: may help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
-
Collagen support: encourages natural collagen production, potentially enhancing skin firmness.
-
Minimal downtime: most patients can typically resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
Laser Genesis treatments at Contour Clinics are suitable for all skin types. Regular treatments may contribute to improvements in skin clarity and smoothness; however, individual results vary. A thorough consultation is necessary to determine if Laser Genesis aligns with your personal skin goals.
What does laser genesis do?
Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that works by precisely heating the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. This technology targets multiple skin concerns at once, delivering a range of 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.
-
Improves Skin Tone and Reduces Redness: Calms redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries, evening out your complexion.
-
Fades Acne Scarring: Smooths out acne marks and improves overall skin clarity.
-
Enhances Overall Radiance: Leaves your skin glowing, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
Laser Genesis at Contour Clinics is a comfortable treatment typically suitable for all skin types and colours. Suitability for this treatment will be discussed at your complimentary consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic clinicians.
Can laser genesis cause fat loss?
No, Laser Genesis does not cause fat loss. Laser Genesis uses 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 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 4 hours after Laser Genesis treatments, allowing any immediate warmth or redness subsides. 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?
Laser Genesis treatments are typically well-tolerated by patients. The procedure is usually described as a gentle warming sensation on the skin, similar to mild sunlight. Because Laser Genesis targets deeper skin layers without damaging the surface, anaesthetic creams are generally not required. While most patients find the procedure comfortable enough to resume normal daily activities immediately afterward, individual comfort levels and experiences may vary.
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.
Patients may notice initial improvements after the first few Laser Genesis treatments, although results typically develop gradually over multiple sessions. Potential improvements can include enhancements in skin texture, reduction in visible redness, and increased skin clarity.
The number of treatment sessions suitable for your specific skin concerns will be discussed at your complimentary consultation with one of our experienced cosmetic clinicians.
How often can you get laser genesis?
Laser Genesis treatments are typically scheduled approximately four weeks apart. This interval aligns with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle, supporting optimal collagen and elastin stimulation. Your cosmetic practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment frequency based on your individual skin assessment.
