"The Gemini is a highly versatile laser system with over 20 FDA approved indications.  The 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths are precisely those wavelengths we use in photo-rejuvenation for correction of photodamage.  The 10mm spot size allows me to complete the treatment in a very short time, which my patients appreciate.  Patients are really surprised how little discomfort there is and how little time the treatment takes. The device continues to WOW me and my patients on a daily basis. It is the most popular laser in my practice. I would recommend it to anyone who desires to provide top notch clinical results."
