Treatment Overview
Genesis Laser is a non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser treatment used to gently heat the dermis, stimulating collagen and improving skin tone, redness, and texture. While not a lifting device like Shurink HIFU, Genesis is often performed together with Shurink in Korean dermatology clinics. Shurink provides deep SMAS tightening and lifting, while Genesis refines the surface and dermal layers, creating a comprehensive rejuvenation program.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening Support: Stimulates dermal collagen to complement Shurink’s deeper lift.
- Redness Reduction: Improves rosacea, flushing, and visible blood vessels.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths roughness and minimizes pore size.
- Wrinkle Softening: Reduces fine lines and early wrinkles.
- Glow & Tone: Brightens complexion for a healthier look.
- Dual Approach: Enhances Shurink results by addressing both deep and superficial concerns.
