I have the laser which does "laser genesis". I have never offered it to a patient for the treatment of melasma. I think that there are much better options for the treatment of melasma. You need to be very careful when treating melasma as lasers can actually make it worse. I feel that all patients with melasma should be on some form of prescription skin lightener such as 4% hydroquinone before they have any treatments with any laser.
