What Are the Benefits of Laser Genesis Treatments?

The next-generation Cutera® Xeo laser was developed several years ago, moving the promise of healthy skin closer to reality. Using a minimally invasive approach, the laser targets protein collagen molecules and vessels in the dermis (deep layer of the skin).

Our providers customize your treatment by choosing settings suited to your skin type and aesthetic goals. The Laser Genesis handpiece creates a gentle, warming effect as it glides over the targeted skin structures. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities throughout your treatment.

Laser Genesis treatment provides several benefits, including:

• Softening fine lines
• Diminishing facial redness and prominent blood vessels
• Minimizing pore size
• Improving skin tone and texture
• Diminishing acne scars

What To Expect During Laser Genesis Treatment

Treatment of the entire face takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Except for cleansing the skin, no preparation is necessary. Unlike other clinics, our doctors supervise the procedures and choose the best settings for you. Most clients find the procedure painless, but you may experience a mild warming sensation. No anesthetic is required. A sunscreen is necessary following the procedure, but there is typically no redness or downtime.

Our Advanced Skin Analysis System

OBSERV® 520 is an advanced skin imaging system that uses sophisticated skin illumination technology to analyze diverse facial skin features, including texture, pigmentation, vascularity, wrinkles, volume, and contour. It also features a patented face positioning system, which uses visual feedback technology to help us consistently capture important angles of your face in high definition. A study published in Dermatology Times favorably compared OBSERV 520 to two other skin imaging systems.

Using the detailed images produced by the OBSERV 520 device, our skin experts diagnose specific skin conditions and pinpoint the best comprehensive treatment plan to improve your skin’s appearance and health.

When Will I See Results After Laser Genesis?

Following a single Laser Genesis treatment, you should notice visible improvement in a matter of days. However, many patients achieve optimal results with a series of 6 treatments spaced about 2 weeks apart.

Can I Combine Laser Skin Rejuvenation With Other Treatments?

At Spa Lumina, individual treatments such as Laser Genesis and Limelight IPL photofacial give our Barrie clients fantastic skin rejuvenation results. Other revolutionary RF treatments, such as Opus Plasma® skin resurfacing and Secret™ RF microneedling, further enhance and revitalize aging or damaged skin.

When clients want to address multiple skincare concerns, we specialize in customizing and combining our laser and light treatments in a precise order to deliver safe, optimal results.

Recovery After a Laser Genesis Treatment

Recovery after a Laser Genisis treatment is minimal, and you should be able to resume normal activities immediately. You may notice some redness in the treatment area that typically clears on its own within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there anything I should avoid following my treatment?

Even though there is no downtime after your treatment, it’s important to follow our post-procedure instructions. That includes staying out of direct sunlight and using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Don’t apply makeup until redness subsides, and avoid taking a hot shower for 24 hours. Don’t use any exfoliants or undergo a chemical peel or microdermabrasion for at least a week.

Is the treatment painful?

A Laser Genesis treatment is mild, with patients typically describing the sensation as a warm tingling or a feeling of warm sunlight on the skin. 

Does Laser Gensis really tighten skin?

Yes, by targeting the tissue below the skin’s surface, the procedure triggers the production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins are the building blocks of smoother, tighter skin.

Does Laser Genesis make you look younger?

One of the benefits of Laser Genesis treatments is that they reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which can make us look older than we are. Scheduling periodic treatments helps maintain the results.

Is Laser Genesis better than microneedling?

Laser Genesis and microneedling take different approaches to promote skin rejuvenation, but neither treatment is better than the other. In fact, combining the treatments often yields optimal results.

Can you use Laser Genesis on your under eye region?

We typically don’t use Laser Genesis under the eyes. If you’re concerned about bags or dark circles under your eyes, you can consider dermal fillers or microneedling with radiofrequency.
