Laser Genesis - Is It the Same As Photo Facial or IPL?

I am wondering if Laser Genesis is the same type of procedure as IPL or Photofacial. Thanks!

Laser Genesis and IPL or Photofacial are different

Laser Genesis is a 1064 Nd:YAG laser that is used to stimulate the production of collagen from the deeper layers of the skin to help reduce the size of pores and reduce redness due to Rosacea and dilated blood vessels. Because it is a long-wavelength laser, it can safely treat all skin types. IPL/Photofacial is Iight-based, not laser-based and targets the epidermis, or topmost layer of the skin to reduce dilated blood vessels, redness, and discoloration that may occur from sun spots, etc.... more
