What is Laser Genesis?

Laser Genesis is a treatment technique from Cutera that uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with rapid, low-energy pulses. The laser is held slightly above the skin and swept across the face to warm the dermis gently.

In Apgujeong it is used for diffuse redness, mild rosacea, pores and dull skin, often combined with toning as a dual treatment.

How it works

Repeated micro-pulses gradually heat the upper dermis, which reduces small vessels and stimulates collagen. There is no surface injury, so it is often repeated every 2 to 4 weeks.

  • Mild redness and flushing
  • Enlarged pores
  • Dull skin
  • Sensitive skin needing gentle treatment

Who should skip it or wait

Planning around your trip
