I am wondering if Laser Genesis is the same type of procedure as IPL or Photofacial. Thanks!
Answer: Laser Genesis vs IPL Laser Genesis is a Yag laser with a specific wave length used for non-ablative skin rejuvenation and is claimed to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, reduce acne scars, and diminish pore size. Laser Genesis is touted as a "lunchtime procedure" by the manufacturer, Cutera. IPL stands for intense pulse light of many wavelengths and is more of a superficial treatment.

Answer: Lasergenesis vs IPL The easiest answer is "no." Lasergenesis is a very unique treatment only available on the Cutera XEO platform. It uses a tried and true Nd:YAG 1064nm laser, but fires at an extremely fast pulse rate. Lasergenesis is a (true) no downtime and painless procedure that improves skin texture, redness leaves patients with glowing skin. It does not treat the same skin color changes as IPL which is more directed at brown spots and sun damage. We love combining the procedures to help improve all skin color and texture and create long lasting anti-aging.

Answer: LG vs IPL Laser genesis as the name implies is a laser treatment. IPL as its name implies is a light based treatment. IPL is a more superficial treatment and the laser treats the skin at a deeper level. That is why the 2 of these treatments work well together.The 2 treatments can be used in combination very successfully for the treatment of Rosacea. The combination can also be used to control the colour and texture of the skin during the same treatment session.

Answer: Laser Genesis different than IPL/Photofacial Laser Genesis is a 1064 nm Nd:Yag laser that stimulates collage, reduces pore size and improves texture with no downtime. It is a comfortable treatment with no downtime and is popular for celebrities right before the Oscars in our experience. It does improve pigmentation and acne to a small degree. The IPL/Photofacial is not a laser but a coherent light source (like a strong flashlamp), it improves pigmentation and has a small relative social downtime. IPL is not always safe for all skin types but laser genesis is safe for all skin types. IPL has more potential risks and side effects than genesis. My favorite treatment is a combination of Excel V and laser genesis as a complete and much more effective alternative to IPL.

Answer: Laser Genesis vs. IPL Laser Genesis does not affect the surface of the skin and can be used very successfully in patients with darker skin. Photo Facial or IPL work on the skin’s surface and therefore sun exposure, skin type, as well as the skin’s condition all have to be reviewed.
