Rejuvenate your skin
Laser Genesis by Cutera is a non-invasive, FDA-approved laser treatment designed to enhance skin health and appearance through gentle, controlled heat. Utilizing a 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser, it delivers micro-pulses of energy that penetrate the skin’s surface without causing injury, stimulating natural healing processes and collagen production.
Laser Genesis operates by emitting near-infrared light that gently heats the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin. This thermal energy stimulates fibroblasts—cells responsible for collagen and elastin production—to enhance skin elasticity and firmness. Additionally, the treatment targets superficial blood vessels, reducing redness and improving overall skin tone.
What It Addresses:
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen and elastin production to smooth and firm the skin.
Rosacea & Redness: Reduces facial redness by targeting and constricting dilated blood vessels.
Enlarged Pores: Shrinks pore size by addressing excess oil production and improving skin texture.
Acne & Acne Scarring: Kills acne-causing bacteria and promotes collagen remodeling to diminish scars.
Hyperpigmentation: Targets and breaks down excess melanin, lightening sun spots and age spots.
Skin Texture & Tone: Enhances overall skin quality, leaving it smoother and more radiant.
Treatment Details
Duration: Approximately 30–45 minutes per session.
Sessions: Typically, 3–10 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results.
Downtime: Minimal to none; some may experience slight redness that dissipates within hours.
Pain Level: Most patients report a warming sensation, likened to the feeling of the sun on the skin.
Ideal Candidates
Laser Genesis is suitable for all skin types and tones, including darker skin, due to its non-ablative nature. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals with rosacea, acne-prone skin, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
Before & After
Preparing for your laser treatment
To ensure optimal results and minimize risks, follow these preparation guidelines:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure for at least two weeks before your treatment. This helps reduce the risk of complications and enhances treatment effectiveness.
No Tanning Products: Refrain from using tanning beds or self-tanning products in the weeks leading up to your session.
Avoid Certain Medications: Consult with your provider about any medications you may be taking, particularly blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs. At Fountain, our laser provider has over 5 years of experience in the field and has trained at the National Laser Institute. You can trust that your treatment will be conducted with the highest level of expertise and care.
Aftercare Instructions
Post-treatment care is essential for achieving the best results. Here are some key steps:
Sun Protection: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays. This is crucial for maintaining results and preventing pigmentation changes.
Avoid Heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after your treatment to minimize irritation.
Follow-Up Care: Follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your laser technician, and attend follow-up appointments as necessary to monitor your progress.
What Makes Laser Genesis Different
Most effective skin treatments involve a tradeoff — real results come with real recovery. Redness for a few days, flaking for a week, staying home until your skin settles. Laser Genesis is the exception to that pattern, and it’s worth understanding why.
The treatment uses a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser to deliver gentle, controlled heat deep into the dermis — the layer where collagen lives — without breaking the skin’s surface. There’s no ablation, no injury, no visible wound for your skin to recover from. The heat stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production, to start rebuilding. Superficial blood vessels that cause redness and uneven tone are gently targeted and constricted. The whole process happens beneath the surface, which is why you can walk out of a Laser Genesis appointment and go straight back to your day.
This is why it’s earned the name the lunchtime facial — not as a marketing phrase, but as an accurate description of how it fits into real life. Thirty to forty-five minutes, a mild warming sensation during treatment, and no visible recovery period afterward. For patients who want meaningful skin improvement without scheduling around downtime, it’s a genuinely different category of treatment.
Who benefits most from Laser Genesis:
It’s particularly well suited for patients dealing with rosacea or persistent facial redness — Laser Genesis is one of the few treatments that directly addresses the dilated blood vessels responsible rather than just managing the surface. Patients with enlarged pores, acne-prone skin, post-acne scarring, or early fine lines see consistent improvement across a series of sessions.
Because of its non-ablative nature it’s also one of the more inclusive treatments in the laser category — suitable for a broader range of skin tones than many other laser options.
On the gradual results: Laser Genesis builds collagen over time, which means results develop progressively across your treatment series rather than appearing dramatically after one session. Most patients notice incremental improvements in skin quality, tone, and texture as sessions accumulate. The patience required is the same patience your skin needs to do the actual work — and the results tend to be natural looking precisely because they developed the way skin improvement is supposed to happen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Laser Genesis work?
Laser Genesis delivers gentle heat energy through a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser into the dermis — the deeper layer of the skin — without breaking the surface. This thermal energy stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness, texture, and tone over time. Simultaneously the treatment targets dilated superficial blood vessels, which is why it’s particularly effective for redness and rosacea. Because the skin’s surface isn’t broken or injured, there’s no visible recovery period — the treatment works beneath the surface while your skin continues to look and function normally above it.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal — which is part of what distinguishes Laser Genesis from more aggressive laser treatments. Most patients experience mild redness or a warm sensation immediately after treatment that dissipates within a few hours. There’s no peeling, no crusting, and no significant sensitivity in the days following your session. Sun protection after treatment is important, as it is with any laser procedure, but daily activities can be resumed immediately. Patients with very sensitive skin or active skin conditions should discuss their history with their provider before booking.
Can Laser Genesis be used on all skin types?
Yes — this is one of Laser Genesis’s meaningful advantages over many other laser treatments. Its non-ablative approach and the specific wavelength used make it safe and effective across a wider range of skin tones, including darker complexions where some laser treatments carry a higher risk of pigment changes. If you’ve been told in the past that your skin tone makes you a poor candidate for laser treatments, Laser Genesis is worth a conversation. Your provider will assess your specific skin at consultation and confirm suitability.
Can Laser Genesis treat acne scars?
Yes, though with realistic expectations. Laser Genesis stimulates collagen remodeling in the dermis, which gradually fills and softens the depressed texture of acne scars over a series of treatments. Shallow, textural scarring responds well. Deeper, more structural scarring — ice pick or boxcar scars with significant depth — typically benefits from a combination approach, and your provider may recommend pairing Laser Genesis with microneedling for more significant scarring. Either way, a consultation will give you an honest picture of what improvement is realistic for your specific scarring.
How many sessions will I actually need?
The range you’ll see quoted — three to ten sessions — reflects genuine variability based on what you’re treating. For general skin quality, tone, and mild redness, three to five sessions spaced two to four weeks apart is a reasonable starting point for most patients. Rosacea, more significant redness, or acne scarring typically warrants the higher end of that range for meaningful results. The package of three sessions is a practical entry point that lets you assess your skin’s response before committing to a longer series. Your provider will give you a specific recommendation at your consultation based on your skin and your goals — not a one-size-fits-all answer.
