Laser Genesis
A gentle, no-downtime laser that calms redness, refines pores, and builds glow.
A gentle, no-downtime laser that calms redness, refines pores, and builds glow.
Laser Genesis, delivered on the Cutera Xeo, gently warms the upper layer of skin to stimulate collagen and quiet the tiny vessels that cause redness. There's no ablation, no peeling, and nothing to hide afterward — just steady, cumulative improvement in tone, texture, and radiance. It's the do-it-and-go laser, and it's safe across every skin tone.
Common areas: full face, neck, and the perioral (mouth) area.
Laser Genesis suits people who want visible improvement without arranging their calendar around recovery. It's a strong starting point if your main concerns are persistent facial redness or rosacea, pores that look larger than they used to, or skin that has simply lost its evenness. Because it works by heating the dermis rather than targeting pigment, it is safe across every skin tone — including deeper tones, where more aggressive resurfacing carries pigment risk. It also layers well: many patients alternate Laser Genesis with a DiamondGlow facial, or add it after microneedling once the skin has settled. If brown sun spots are your main concern rather than redness, an IPL photofacial will usually get you there faster.
The treatment feels like a warm, comfortable wave passing over the skin — most people find it genuinely relaxing. There's no downtime; you can apply makeup and return to your day right away. Because it's gentle, it works best as a series of about five treatments spaced about two to four weeks apart, with results building as collagen rebuilds.
From $400. Full Face $400 (series of 5, $1,800) · Neck $350 (series of 5, $1,600) · Perioral $200 (series of 5, $900). About 30 minutes, no downtime.
No — most people describe a warm, soothing sensation with no numbing needed.
None. You may be slightly warm or pink for an hour or two, then right back to normal — makeup included.
Best results come from a series of about five, spaced about two to four weeks apart, with occasional maintenance afterward.
Yes — Laser Genesis is well tolerated across all skin tones, which makes it a great alternative when IPL isn't the right fit.
Genesis is gentler and all-tone, focused on redness, pores, and glow. A photofacial is stronger on brown spots and vessels. Your provider will match the right one to your skin.
Skin often looks brighter after the first session, with tone and texture improving through the series as collagen builds.
