Quick answer · What is Genesis Toning?
Genesis Toning, also called Laser Genesis, is a non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser treatment that gently warms the upper dermis without breaking the skin surface. The heat helps reduce diffuse redness, refine pores and stimulate collagen for smoother, clearer skin. A session usually takes 15–30 minutes with only mild redness for a few hours. Most patients need 3–5 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart.

How it works
Gentle, repeated warmth that calms and refines
The laser is passed over the skin many times at low energy, gradually warming the upper dermis. This gentle heat targets small superficial vessels that cause redness and encourages collagen remodelling, which refines pores and texture. Because the surface stays intact, there is no peeling or wound to care for.
-
Skin assessment
Your doctor checks redness, pore size, pigment and sensitivity, then sets the laser parameters for your skin.
-
Warming passes
The handpiece is moved over the face in repeated passes. You feel gentle warmth, and no numbing is usually needed.
-
Gradual clarity
Skin may look slightly pink for a few hours. Clarity and smoothness improve progressively over the course.
Before & after
Less redness, finer pores, a more even tone
Over a course of sessions, most patients notice calmer redness, smoother texture and smaller-looking pores, with changes building gradually rather than overnight.
