Treatment Overview
Genesis Laser, often called “Laser Genesis,” is a non-ablative Nd:YAG (1064 nm) treatment widely offered in Korean dermatology clinics. It gently heats the dermis without damaging the surface layer, stimulating collagen production and improving skin tone and texture.
Unlike surgical lifts or ablative lasers, Genesis is very gentle with minimal downtime, making it popular for patients seeking gradual improvement in skin firmness, pore size, redness, and fine lines. It is often used as part of skin maintenance programs or combined with boosters, toning, and peels for enhanced results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: Improves mild laxity by stimulating new collagen.
- Pore Refinement: Minimizes enlarged pores and smooths rough texture.
- Redness Reduction: Effective for facial redness, flushing, and rosacea.
- Even Tone & Glow: Brightens dull skin and evens mild pigmentation.
- Fine Line Reduction: Softens early wrinkles and improves elasticity.
- Gentle with No Downtime: Suitable for busy patients and sensitive skin.

Genesis Laser in Korea is recommended for:
