Treatment Overview
Genesis Laser is a popular Korean dermatology treatment that uses a non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser in microsecond mode to gently heat the dermis, stimulate collagen, and improve overall skin health. Unlike aggressive resurfacing lasers, Genesis is a no-downtime treatment that improves fine lines, redness, large pores, and uneven tone over a series of sessions.
When paired with the Hollywood Laser Peel (Carbon Laser Peel), the Genesis Laser enhances long-term skin rejuvenation, while the Hollywood Peel provides instant glow, sebum balance, and pore purification. This combination is highly sought-after in Korea for patients looking for both short-term radiance and long-term anti-aging benefits.
