Laser Genesis
Quick and painless skin rejuvenation laser
Micro-pulses of laser energy activate collagen remodeling to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and target unwanted brown spots and facial redness. Treatments are quick and there is no downtime.
What is Laser Genesis?
Cutera’s Laser Genesis is an innovative, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses the power of gentle laser technology to restore your skin’s natural beauty. This FDA-approved treatment delivers micro-pulses of laser energy that penetrate the upper dermis, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular renewal for a more youthful, radiant complexion.
Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, Laser Genesis works gradually and gently, making it suitable for all skin types and tones. The treatment feels like a warm sensation on the skin, with many patients describing it as relaxing and comfortable.
Conditions Treated
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production to smooth out fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, revealing younger-looking skin.
- Facial Redness & Rosacea: Reduces diffuse redness and addresses rosacea symptoms by targeting dilated capillaries and improving overall skin tone.
- Large Pores: Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores by tightening the skin and improving texture through collagen remodeling.
- Sun Damage & Age Spots: Targets unwanted pigmentation and brown spots, evening out skin tone for a more uniform complexion.
- Uneven Skin Texture: Smooths rough, uneven skin texture and improves overall skin quality for a softer, more refined appearance.
- Acne Scars: Helps improve the appearance of mild acne scarring by promoting new collagen formation and skin remodeling.
How Laser Genesis Works
The Laser Genesis system uses a specific type of 1064nm Nd:YAG laser that delivers controlled heat to the upper dermis. This gentle heating process:
- Stimulates Collagen Production: The controlled thermal effect triggers the body's natural healing response, promoting new collagen and elastin formation
- Improves Circulation: Enhanced blood flow brings nutrients to the skin, promoting a healthy, natural glow
- Reduces Redness: Targets dilated capillaries and reduces overall facial redness
