A Different Type of Laser
Ablative lasers cause a controlled injury in the upper layer of the skin, the epidermis. However, Laser Genesis is different. The laser energy gently heats the skin to revitalize its appearance from within. As a result, it causes no damage to the superficial layers of the skin and instead targets one of the deepest areas; the dermis. Because it doesn’t damage tissue, patients gain great results for their skin with zero downtime required!
About Your Skin
There are three distinct levels of tissue in our skin, each with a different function.
- Epidermis – The epidermis is the top layer of skin. It’s the main barrier that protects our body from the environment. This level continuously renews skin cells on the surface. It’s also where the pigment in our skin, melanin, is found.
- Dermis – The dermis is the middle, thickest layer of the skin. Collagen and elastin are present in this layer to provide structure and flexibility. This layer of skin also contains the glands that produce sebum, the oil that keeps our skin soft. A strong blood supply to the dermis helps the tissues stay healthy by providing key nutrients.
- Hypodermis – Beneath the dermis is the hypodermis. This layer functions as protection for underlying muscles and bones and contains many nerves and blood vessels. These help to regulate body temperature, preventing the body from overheating or becoming too cold
Skin Health
Our skin is in a constant state of renewal. Dead cells and oil buildup can cause dullness and lead to breakouts. As we get older, our skin may not look as bright and refreshed as before, as the production of key skin health proteins collagen and elastin declines. Over the years, our skin is also exposed to harmful UV rays, which can cause photodamage.
Scientists have long stressed the importance of a healthy and functioning skin barrier. It prevents dehydration, stops microorganisms and allergens from entering the body, protects us against pollutants and radiation.(1)
Benefits of Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis treatment is a great choice for patients who want effective skin rejuvenation without the hassle or discomfort of tissue-damaging lasers.
- Stimulates skin cell regeneration
- Addresses redness and skin discoloration
- Reduces the appearance of acne scarring
- Evens skin tone and reduces pore size
- Simple, short in-office procedure
- Non-invasive technique means zero downtime
Laser Genesis is commonly used on the face, although it can also target skin imperfections on the neck, decolletage, shoulders, and hands.
Candidates for Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a versatile cosmetic procedure for patients of any age! Its gentle, non-ablative laser system is also suitable for all skin types.(2) If you experience breakouts, have acne scars, poor skin texture, or you have skin damage from sun exposure, a Laser Genesis treatment could be beneficial for your skin’s health.
Who Shouldn’t Get Laser Genesis Skin Resurfacing?
Melasma is a skin condition that causes dark patches of skin in some people. Speak to us beforehand if you have melasma, as this condition may worsen after Laser Genesis treatment. Please note that cosmetic laser treatments such as Laser Genesis are not advisable for patients who are pregnant.
Personal Consultation
The doctors at Skin Perfect Medical Aesthetics are here to help you get the skin you want! We’ll guide you through your treatment options at a personal consultation at one of our seven Southern California locations. Our expert team will ask you to provide some basic details about your skin, and your medical history. Then, one of our skin specialists will examine the area you want to treat. If you’re a good candidate for Laser Genesis, we’ll schedule your treatment date!
Please Note: Some skin conditions will require more than one Laser Genesis treatment session. These individual appointments can be spaced a few weeks apart. We will advise you on how many sessions are best for your skin at your in-office consultation.

Laser Genesis Procedure
Laser Genesis uses rapid pulses of light energy to stimulate the dermis. This light energy produces heat. We’ll give you goggles to protect your eyes, and you’ll sit comfortably in one of our treatment rooms while one of our team of skincare professionals uses the Laser Genesis handpiece in the treatment area. The procedure itself is completely painless. In fact, many patients describe the light warmth as similar to sitting out in the sun. Depending on the size of the area you’re treating, most sessions are complete in as little as 20-30 minutes, and you’ll be able to drive yourself home immediately afterwards.
Great Results with No Downtime!
Unlike other skin rejuvenation treatments, such as microneedling and chemical peels, Laser Genesis does not cause damage to the epidermis. As a result, there’s nothing you need to do differently after your treatment. Continue to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy with your regular skin care routine, and experience a renewed glow as strengthening collagen and elastin production increases deep in the dermis.
