Laser Genesis is a non-invasive procedure that is used to help stimulate collagen production in your skin. Collagen is a critical protein involved in the health of your skin. As you get older, your body produces less collagen, which can lead to wrinkles and an aged appearance. With laser treatment, the increased collagen production will help improve the texture of your skin to make you look years younger.

Chemical peels involve the introduction of a chemical solution to the skin to remove the top layers. These peels are usually used to treat various skin conditions from acne to discolouration, scarring and wrinkles. The skin that grows back is both smoother and younger-looking.
