Genesis Facial
Laser Genesis skin therapy stimulates natural processes to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. Now you can have a more youthful appearance by treating conditions that are typically associated with aging and sun damage.
What is the CUTERA® Laser Genesis Treatment?
The CUTERA® Laser Genesis Treatment is a non-ablative laser treatment for acne scars and any redness left behind after old acne clears. With its unique 1064nm short-pulsed laser, CUTERA® Laser Genesis won’t break the barrier of your skin while drastically decreasing the size of any enlarged pore or acne scars.
By promoting collagen production at the cellular level, CUTERA® Laser Genesis helps you soften the most common forms of acne scars.
How Does the CUTERA® Laser Genesis Work?
CUTERA® Laser Genesis improves acne scarring in two ways. First, the laser collapses superficial blood vessels on your skin to minimize the redness surrounding your old acne lesions. Next, it promotes the production of healthy collagen at the cellular level to diminish acne scars and improve texture. CUTERA® Laser Genesis works because it penetrates deep into your skin’s cellular layer to counter your overactive sebaceous glands–where most acne problems arise.
The Laser Genesis difference.
The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, naturally and effectively treat fine line wrinkles, diffuse redness and scars. You can expect to see consistent results after each treatment. Treatments can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of topical anesthetics or gel.
What areas can be treated?
Laser Genesis patients report excellent results over their entire faces and necks. Additionally, practitioners may suggest this therapy to diminish recent scars on other parts of the body.
What is diffuse redness?
Diffuse redness is a general appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries, resulting in an appearance of general redness, not discrete, well-defined vessels. The most commonly affected areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea and it can be hereditary. Laser Genesis will help your appearance by gently treating and reducing this condition.
What does the procedure feel like?
Patients often describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic. You will experience a gentle warming of your skin’s surface during the procedure. You can immediately return to normal activities, utilizing sunscreen if participating in outdoor activities.
What parts of my body can the CUTERA® Laser Genesis treat?
Most patients use CUTERA® Laser Genesis to treat the face, chest, neck and hands.
What can I expect before the treatment?
You will not need gel, anesthetic cream or ice prior to treatment. Before the actual Laser Genesis treatment, you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated. Your physician will review and assist with all pre-treatment requirements.
How fast will I see results?
CUTERA® Laser Genesis is a multiple treatment solution. Most patients begin to see a noticeable difference in skin texture after just four treatments.
How long does one CUTERA® Laser Genesis treatment take?
Depending on the area being treated, one CUTERA® Laser Genesis treatment requires anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes.
What kind of improvements can you expect with Laser Genesis skin therapy?
Over the course of four to five treatments, Laser Genesis can help restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

How many treatments will I need?

What are the possible side effects?
Although most patients report few if any side effects, the most common is a slight redness that disappears within a few hours of treatment. Consult your physician for complete information about the benefits and risks of treatment.
Will I need any downtime after a CUTERA® Laser Genesis treatment?
There is no need for downtime following a CUTERA® Laser Genesis treatment. While you may experience some mild redness shortly after treatment, it is only for a few hours so there is no need to avoid work or cancel any social plans.
