Laser & Light Treatments
Healthier Skin Begins Beneath the Surface.
Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-ablative laser treatment that uses controlled heat beneath the skin's surface to improve the appearance of facial redness, visible pores, uneven texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality—with little to no downtime.
PHILOSOPHY
Skin quality is often influenced by more than a single concern.
At Lumaire, Laser Genesis is considered within the full context of your skin—redness, texture, pore visibility, treatment history, and what you hope to change. The goal is not to treat one isolated feature, but to determine whether this gentle, gradual approach is right for the skin in front of us.
Laser Genesis uses controlled heat beneath the skin's surface to support collagen remodeling and gradual improvements in overall skin quality.
Redness, uneven texture, visible pores, and fine lines often appear together. Treatment planning should consider the complete pattern rather than focusing on one isolated concern.
Meaningful changes in skin quality develop gradually. When a series is appropriate, each treatment is intended to build thoughtfully upon the one before it.
Every patient's skin, treatment history, and goals are different. Recommendations should reflect those differences.
The goal is gradual, natural-looking improvement that supports how the skin looks and responds over time.
We believe the best results never announce themselves. They simply help you look more like yourself.
WHAT PATIENTS NOTICE
Changes in skin quality often happen gradually. You may notice that your complexion appears less even, less clear, or slower to recover than it once did. Redness, more visible pores, rougher texture, and early fine lines may also become more noticeable over time.
During consultation, we explore what you are noticing and determine whether Laser Genesis—or another approach—may be appropriate.
Not every concern requires laser treatment. The goal is to understand what may be contributing to the changes you are noticing and determine the most appropriate path forward.
TREATMENT FOCUS
Laser Genesis uses gentle, controlled heat beneath the skin's surface. Depending on your skin and goals, it may be recommended to address several concerns within one treatment plan.
Laser Genesis is most useful when the treatment fits the pattern of concerns—not simply one isolated feature.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
Skin concerns that appear similar on the surface may have very different contributing factors.
Redness may be associated with rosacea, visible vascular changes, inflammation, or environmental exposure. Texture concerns may reflect changes in collagen, pore visibility, scarring, or the skin's natural renewal process. Understanding those differences helps determine whether Laser Genesis is appropriate and how it may fit into a broader treatment plan.
We evaluate overall skin quality, texture, pore visibility, and the changes you may be noticing over time.
We assess whether persistent redness, flushing, rosacea-related redness, or visible vascular changes may be contributing to your concerns.
We evaluate fine lines, texture, and other changes that may indicate whether a collagen-supporting treatment could be appropriate.
Recommendations are based on your skin, goals, treatment history, and long-term outcomes—not a predetermined protocol.
The most appropriate recommendation begins with understanding what is contributing to the concern in the first place.
