Laser Genesis vs. Laser Carbon Facial: What’s the Difference?
When you hear “laser facial,” it’s easy to imagine that all laser treatments do the same thing — but not quite. At Velverra, two of our most-loved treatments — Laser Genesis and the Laser Carbon Facial — both use light energy to rejuvenate the skin, yet they work in totally different ways.
Here’s how to tell which one your skin might love most.
Laser Genesis: The Collagen Stimulator
Laser Genesis is like a warm hug for your skin. It uses a gentle, non-invasive laser that works below the surface, heating the dermis (the deeper layer of your skin) to kickstart collagen production.
It doesn’t remove or damage the top layer — instead, it works through it — making it perfect for clients who want real results without downtime.
What It Does:
Smooths fine lines and uneven texture
Shrinks the look of pores
Boosts collagen and natural glow
Reduces redness and mild acne scarring
Laser Carbon Facial: The Deep Clean Detox
If Laser Genesis is gentle renewal, the Laser Carbon Facial is your deep detox.
This treatment starts with a layer of medical-grade carbon lotion, which binds to oil, impurities, and dead skin cells on the surface. When the laser passes over, it vaporizes the carbon — taking those impurities with it.
What It Does:
Deep cleans pores
Balances oil production
Brightens dull skin
Helps with blackheads and congestion
