Treatment Overview
Body Genesis Laser is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses 1064nm Nd:YAG laser technology to improve skin laxity, stimulate collagen production, and refine skin texture. Unlike ablative lasers, Body Genesis penetrates into the dermis without damaging the skin’s surface, making it a gentle yet effective treatment for tightening loose body skin.
In Korean dermatology clinics, Body Genesis is widely used for abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and knees, especially in patients with mild to moderate laxity or crepey skin. It is often recommended as a preventive anti-aging therapy or in combination with HIFU, Thermage, or RF lifting for more powerful tightening effects.
