How many pulses are the industry standard for 1 laser genesis session, full face?

June 25, 2015
Asked By:morgfunk in Los Angeles, CA

I got 4 treatments they ver very short (10mins) compared to what I'm used to. The aesthetician finally admitted she does 5,000 pulses but at a higher setting, 16 so it's the same thing. In the past, my treatments have always been 10,000 pulses. Can someone please explain to me if this is normal? I feel like I got ripped off I looked at the laser genesis cutera operating instructions and it says treatments are 8,000-10,000 pulses at 12-18 joules/cm2 so I'm thinking it's not congruent at all.
