Treatment Overview
Laser Genesis is a non-ablative Nd:YAG laser treatment (1064 nm) widely performed in Korean dermatology clinics for acne-prone skin, redness, enlarged pores, and overall rejuvenation. Unlike aggressive resurfacing lasers, Laser Genesis works gently by heating the dermis without damaging the epidermis.
This process stimulates collagen production, improves microcirculation, and reduces inflammation, making it highly effective for patients with acne-related redness, early scars, and uneven skin tone.
In Korea, Laser Genesis is often combined with Gold Toning, Aqua Peel, or LED therapy as part of multi-step acne management programs, since it improves both active acne and skin texture over time.
Purpose & Benefits
- Redness Reduction: Calms post-acne erythema and diffuse redness.
- Collagen Stimulation: Smooths fine scars and improves elasticity.
- Acne Improvement: Reduces inflammation and oil activity.
- Pore Refinement: Tightens enlarged pores and enhances skin texture.
- Skin Brightening: Improves tone, radiance, and overall clarity.
- No Downtime: Gentle treatment suitable for busy lifestyles.
