How it works

Gentle light, little downtime.

Laser Genesis uses gentle, focused light energy beneath the skin’s surface to improve the look of redness, flushing, uneven tone and texture, and to encourage collagen. Often called the ‘lunchtime laser’, it’s comfortable, with little to no downtime. We use the Lumenis Splendor X, and the settings are tailored to your skin.

Laser Genesis is suited to lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I–III). Every plan starts with an assessment, and most concerns improve gradually over a course of treatments. Results vary from person to person.

It can help with

  • Redness and flushing
  • Uneven-looking tone and texture
  • Encouraging collagen

A patch test is required before your first Laser Genesis treatment. New clients can book a Laser Patch Test & Consultation ($50, 30 min) on Fresha, or call the clinic on 0474 499 142.

  • Warmth: use a cool compress if your skin feels warm.
  • Combined treatments: if another treatment is added to your plan, we’ll let you know your updated downtime and aftercare.
