Genesis Laser  is Cutera's
laser that specifically treats the deeper surfaces of the skin with a
non-ablative method. This is often referred to as the "lunch-time"
laser treatment, as there is NO down-time after the treatment. It does NOT make the skin peel after treatments.
The Genesis Laser treatment activates collagen production  with its
quick, micro-pulses of laser energy. The benefits will be noticeable reduction
of fine lines and wrinkles, unwanted dark spots and facial redness.  The
results will be subtle, but don't let that fool you, as the overall effect can
provide dramatic results! As with any medical -device laser, only a skilled professional should be trusted for your treatments

This treatment is one of the lower risk laser procedures. It does not thin skin, in fact it thickens skin by stimulating collagen - this takes 3-6 months. It works by gently heating the dermal layers, in turn causing a cascade of events to reduce redness and improve skin texture. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
