I am not familiar with the Genesis treatment. I prefer to use the Fraxel laser or fillers such as collagen, Juvederm or Restylane.

For laser treatments around the mouth I would recommend a Fraxel or Martix RF treatment in combination with facial fillers. However, you would need to have a consultation with out seeing a patient it is difficult to give a proper treatment plan.

Lines around the mouth are very hard to revise with laser treatments. Although we do offer laser resurfacing for wrinkles around the mouth, the expectations we set are very realistic and the procedure we offer (Erbium resurfacing) has 5-7 days of downtime. We are not confident at all that you would see a significant change to mouth lines using no downtime procedures like the IPL or laser Genesis. For fast & dramatic results with mouth lines we think you should consider dermal fillers and/or Botox.

Personally, I do not think that IPL is a great choice for "mouth lines". To get the best long term results you will need to do some form of laser resurfacing.
