The Basics

What is Laser Genesis?

Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-ablative laser treatment that uses a 1064 nm wavelength to warm the deeper layers of the skin without breaking the surface. That gentle heat helps reduce redness, refine pores and stimulate new collagen, leaving skin smoother, more even and noticeably radiant.

There is no numbing, no peeling and no downtime. Most patients describe it as a warm, relaxing sensation, and many see a fresh glow the same day. With a series of sessions, collagen continues to build for lasting improvement in texture, tone and fine lines.

The Javan Difference

Physician-directed, tailored to your skin.

Every Laser Genesis plan at Javan starts with a close look at your skin, your concerns and your calendar. We adjust settings for your skin type and goals, and time sessions around the events that matter to you.

Laser Genesis also pairs beautifully with our other treatments. We often combine it with facials, Clear + Brilliant, peels or injectables to build results that look natural and last.

Is It Right For You?

Am I a candidate for Laser Genesis?

Laser Genesis is a great fit if you want to reduce facial redness or rosacea flushing, refine enlarged pores, soften fine lines, improve rough texture or mild acne scarring, or simply restore a healthy glow. It is ideal for anyone who cannot take time off, and as a pre-event treatment.

The 1064 nm wavelength is well suited to a wide range of skin tones. Your provider will review your history first. Laser Genesis is not recommended during pregnancy, and patients with deeper scarring or significant laxity may be guided toward more intensive options.

Common Questions

Laser Genesis FAQs

Does Laser Genesis hurt?
No. Most patients find it relaxing. It feels like a gentle, warm sensation moving across the skin, so no numbing is needed.
Is there any downtime?
None. Some patients have mild pinkness for an hour or two. You can wear makeup and go straight back to work or plans.
What does Laser Genesis treat?
Facial redness and rosacea, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture and tone, and mild acne scarring. It can be used on the face, neck, chest and hands.
How many sessions will I need?
You will see a glow after one session. For lasting change, most patients do a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, then maintenance every few months.
Can I do it before an event?
Yes. Laser Genesis is a favorite before weddings and big events because there is no downtime. We suggest booking 1–2 days before for the best glow, and starting a series a few months ahead for the strongest results.
Is Laser Genesis safe for darker skin tones?
The 1064 nm wavelength is considered one of the safer laser options for a wide range of skin tones. Your provider will review your skin and adjust settings for you.
