About Laser Genesis
Why patients choose LIV
- Best for
- Pores, fine lines, redness, dullness
- Appointment
- 30 minutes to an hour
- Results
- Build with a series
- Downtime
- None
Laser Genesis gently warms the deeper layers of the skin without breaking the surface. That warmth encourages collagen and healthy cell turnover, so pores look smaller, fine lines soften and redness calms over a series.
Laura Memishi performs many of our Laser Genesis treatments, and patients often book a monthly series ahead of a wedding or big event. Because there is no downtime, you can go straight back to work. Sangini and the team often pair it with IPL for spots, or add it to a custom facial.
Good for
- Dull, tired skin
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Redness and rosacea

How it works
Laser Genesis
The lunch-break laser for glow, pores and redness.
Laser Genesis gently heats the skin to encourage new collagen and healthy cell turnover. It is often called the lunch-break procedure because there is no downtime.
- Refined pores: collagen growth helps tighten the look of enlarged pores
- Softened fine lines: a gradual, natural-looking improvement
- Diminished redness: reduces discoloration from rosacea and sun damage
- Radiance: restores the skin's natural luminosity
Your appointment
What to expect
- 01
Skin check
We look at your skin and goals and decide how many sessions to plan.
- 02
Treatment
The laser passes over clean skin many times, building gentle warmth. Most people find it comfortable without numbing.
- 03
Back to your day
Skin may look slightly flushed for a short time. Makeup and normal routines can usually resume straight away.
- 04
Series
Results build across a series spaced a few weeks apart, then maintenance keeps your glow.
Downtime
None: most people go straight back to work, with at most a little flushing that fades quickly.
Results
Many patients notice a glow soon after treatment, with pores and texture typically improving over a series and maintained with periodic sessions.

Reviews
In their words
★★★★★
“Hands down the place for all your skin needs. Sangini and Laura are incredibly kind, exceptionally knowledgeable, and truly the best in the business. I come here for Laser Genesis and Dysport and am always thrilled with my results... The best in Chicago, no question.”
★★★★★
“She recommended Sofwave to help address skin laxity and lift, along with Morpheus 8 to improve texture and firmness, and Laser Genesis to enhance overall tone and glow. Each treatment was thoughtfully explained, and I felt confident and cared for every step of the way.”
★★★★★
“I've been doing laser genesis with Laura and definitely recommend it. My skin looks very glowy and scars have better texture.”
How many Laser Genesis sessions should I plan?
Most people do a series, often spaced a few weeks apart. Your plan depends on your skin and whether you are preparing for an event.
Is Laser Genesis safe year round?
Yes. It is gentle enough to have in any season, as long as you wear sunscreen daily.
Should I choose Laser Genesis or IPL?
Laser Genesis is better for glow, pores and texture. IPL is better for brown spots and broken capillaries. Many patients use both.
What does Laser Genesis cost?
It depends on your series and any treatments it is paired with, and we price your plan at consultation. The $150 consultation fee for new consultations is fully credited toward services booked.
