Cutera Laser Genesis | Transform Your Skin

What is Laser Genesis

The cutera laser genesis treatment is a safe and effective laser treatment that is scientifically proven to stimulate the skin’s production of collagen and elastin. Micro-pulses of light safely heats the upper dermis below your skin’s surface to reduce redness on the face, fade acne scars and age spots, reduce the size of pores and restore a more youthful glow.

A light lactic peel helps to exfoliate and hydrate the skin before the treatment while a crystal fibre mask is applied afterwards to heal and hydrate. With no downtime, this laser treatment is popularly known as a ‘lunch-time’ facial, as you’re able to resume normal activities immediately. Although the individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of a treatment series can be quite dramatic and leave with you with an overall more healthy and youthful appearance. If you would like to find out more about this laser skin resurfacing treatment, arrange a consultation with our clinicians in Nottingham today.

How Does Cutera Laser Genesis Work

Laser Genesis utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, discretely and effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles, diffuse excessive redness, pigmentation, and also help manage large pores. It even treats uneven skin texture and helps to reduce scars from acne on the skin. The treatment results are subtle yet consistent after each treatment, but without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. All of our treatments are carried out by an experienced practitioner, in a comfortable and relaxed environment in one of our clinics here at Zenith Nottingham.

What Areas Can Be Treated With Laser Genesis

Any part of the body can be treated with laser genesis, but the most common area is the face and neck. If you have other areas of your body with noticeable signs of ageing, sun damage or scarring arrange your consultation and we can discuss whether this treatment is suitable for you.

What Does The Laser Genesis Procedure Feel Like?

Most people find having laser genesis to be a relaxing experience. At Zenith Cosmetic Clinic, we refer to this treatment as our laser facial as it feels more like a facial than an intense laser treatment. Cutera Laser Genesis gently warms the skin to a temperature of no discomfort and you can expect to return to your daily activities as normal straight after the treatment.

How Many Laser Genesis Treatments Will I Need?

Although you will see immediate benefits from a single treatment, here at Zenith Cosmetic Clinic we recommend 6 sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart for best results. However, we can discuss this with you during your initial consultation and discuss the treatment plan with you, based on what you want to achieve.

Laser Genesis Results

Over the course of 3 to 6 treatments, Laser Genesis can help restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by ageing, sun damage or scars. You will see a more youthful, healthy complexion emerge as large pores are reduced in size, and redness diffused. Although individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic. Of course, the results of the treatment will depend on your individual circumstances.

How Long Do The Results of Laser Genesis Last?

As discussed above, the best results are seen over time and after a series of treatments. How long laser the genesis results last depends on the nature of treatment, and on factors such as how much time you spend in the sun. Laser Genesis provides permanent results when being used to treat scars, but other for other issues such as pigmentation this will require future top-ups.

After Your Treatment

Laser Genesis might be a good choice for you if:

• You have enlarged pores or redness from sun damage: Laser Genesis seals off problematic blood vessels that cause redness and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
• You have sunspots, uneven pigmentation and texture, or scarring: Laser Genesis evens skin tone and texture, including scars. It stimulates collagen production, improving texture and fine lines and helping to minimize pores. It also helps to smooth and soften scars.
• You don’t need treatment for heavy wrinkling: Laser Genesis works best for early aging, fine lines, and sun damage.
• You’re okay with having multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart: You may need three to five sessions, two to four weeks apart, to see optimal results.

“Laser genesis targets redness and mild pigmentation. It is best used to heal red marks left behind from acne, as well as to help treat active inflammatory acne,” says dermatologist Dr. Claire Wolinsky in a RealSelf Q&A.
