Overview

What Is Laser Genesis & Green Genesis?

Looking for Laser Genesis in Richmond Hill? These gentle, no-downtime laser treatments target smoother texture, fewer fine lines and calmer redness.

Laser Genesis uses a non-ablative laser to gently warm the deeper layers of the skin. This encourages new collagen, so texture, pores and fine lines improve gradually, without breaking the skin surface.

Green Genesis uses a green-light laser that targets red blood vessels, making it a good choice for rosacea, broken capillaries and general redness.

Laser Genesis is our gentlest laser in cosmetic dermatology. Green Genesis is a key part of rosacea and redness treatment and can help with fine facial spider veins. For spots, pair it with IPL; for expression lines, with Botox.

Treatment time: About 30 minutes
Downtime: None
Sessions: A series, often 4–6
Results: Gradual over weeks
