TL;DR

Laser Genesis heats ​‌‍​the upper dermis to stimulate collagen and shrink dilated capillaries. Warm-tingling sensation, no numbing needed, 20–30 minutes, walk out with visible glow. Best stacked in a series of 4–6 monthly sessions.

Does Laser Genesis hurt?

It feels like a warm​‌‍​ sun-lamp with occasional hot pinpricks. Most clients describe it as relaxing.

How many sessions of​‌‍​ Laser Genesis do I need?

For redness/rosacea:​‌‍​ a series of 4–6, monthly. For skin quality: 2–3 per year works well as maintenance.

Is Laser Genesis saf​‌‍​e for all skin tones?

Yes — it's one of th​‌‍​e few lasers considered safe across the full Fitzpatrick range (I through VI) because it uses long-pulse 1064nm energy.
