What It Treats
Our rosacea treatments help improve the appearance of persistent redness, flushing, visible vessels and uneven tone. Laser Genesis and Global Genesis can also help improve texture, pores and overall skin quality.
Diffused Redness
532 nm with the CoolView handpiece for persistent facial redness, flushing and visible vessels.
Green Genesis
A gentle 532 nm treatment for superficial redness, rosacea-related redness, small visible vessels and uneven tone.
Laser Genesis
1064 nm gentle warming to calm diffuse redness and support collagen for smoother, more even skin.
Global Genesis
Combines Laser Genesis and Green Genesis in one treatment for redness, tone and texture together.
How It Works
Laser energy is absorbed by the blood vessels responsible for redness and gently heats them, while the surrounding skin stays intact. Over a series of treatments, skin looks calmer, clearer and more even.
Pre Treatment
If you are new to this treatment, please book a Spot Treatment at least 24 hours before your appointment (72 hours for skin types 4 to 6). Some treatments may not suit all skin types, and suitability is confirmed at your consultation or spot treatment.
Please avoid sun exposure, tanning and self-tanner for 2 to 4 weeks before treatment. Please let us know if you have used isotretinoin (Accutane) in the past 6 months or take any medications that increase light sensitivity.
Post Treatment
Your skin may be more sensitive after treatment, so avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30 or higher daily. Avoid heat and common rosacea triggers, such as hot tubs, saunas and hot showers, for 1 to 2 days. We'll recommend gentle products for sensitive skin. Contact the clinic with any concerns.
