Skin analysis station at Umi Clinic in Myeongdong, Seoul — **4–6 sessions** Skin looks fresher after each visit

Quick answer

What is Laser Genesis?

Laser Genesis (Cutera) is a non-ablative 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser treatment in which very short pulses are swept across the skin to gently warm the upper dermis. This mild heating stimulates collagen, shrinks small superficial vessels and helps regulate oil, improving redness, fine texture and pore appearance without breaking the skin.

It is a favourite in Seoul for sensitive, reddish or tired-looking skin and is often paired with Excel V for visible capillaries.

FAQ

Laser Genesis questions

Does Laser Genesis hurt?

No numbing is needed. Most people feel only gentle warmth, which many find relaxing.

Is Laser Genesis good for rosacea?

It can reduce diffuse redness and flushing as part of a rosacea plan. Visible vessels may need a vascular laser such as Excel V, plus medical skincare.

Can I do Laser Genesis before an event?

Yes. There is no downtime, so it is often done a few days before a special occasion for a fresher look.

How is it different from laser toning?

Laser toning mainly targets pigment, while Laser Genesis mainly targets redness, texture and collagen. They are sometimes combined in one visit.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
