Healthier and more resilient skin
At Shellharbour Skin, our Laser Genesis Facial is a non-invasive, no-downtime treatment designed to support smoother texture, refined tone, and a brighter complexion.
This facial pairs gentle exfoliation and enzymatic resurfacing with the collagen-stimulating power of Laser Genesis, finishing with LED light to enhance skin repair and calm any post-laser warmth.
Treatment time: 60minutes
Downtime: Minimal – mild warmth or redness may occur for a few hours

What to Expect
Each Laser Genesis Facial is performed using clinically validated steps to ensure comfort, safety, and visible freshness.
Double Cleanse – A deep double cleanse removes impurities, excess oil, and debris to prepare the skin for treatment.
Dermaplane or Enzyme Mask – Your Dermal Clinician will choose one of the following steps based on your skin type, texture, and current concerns:
Dermaplane – Using a sterile surgical blade, your clinician gently removes the superficial layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as “peach fuzz”). This reveals a smoother surface, enhances natural radiance, and allows the laser energy to be distributed more evenly across the face. Dermaplaning also promotes a cleaner, more refined base for makeup and skincare absorption.
OR
Enzyme Mask – A professional-grade enzymatic exfoliant is applied to dissolve surface buildup and refine texture, supporting even light diffusion and optimal laser absorption.
Full-Face Laser Genesis – The Laser Genesis device emits micro-pulses of non-ablative 1064 nm laser energy, heating the dermis to support collagen regeneration and diffuse redness.
You’ll feel a comfortable, gentle warmth as your skin’s deeper layers are stimulated.
LED Light Therapy – The treatment concludes with LED light to calm the skin, enhance circulation, and promote post-laser recovery.
Finishing Products – Hydrating and barrier-restoring products are applied, including broad-spectrum SPF for post-treatment protection.

While results vary, the Laser Genesis Facial is designed to:
- Support collagen production and dermal renewal
