I just purchased a package of four laser Genesis treatments, to be administered three weeks apart. Is it OK to have a filler such as Juvederm right AFTER a laser Genesis treatment? (either the same day or the day after) Also, what should I look for on the machine itself to confirm that they are indeed using a laser Genesis machine and that I am getting what I'm paying for? Thank you.

Answer: Filler after Genesis It is fine to have filler injected after your laser Genesis, as long as the skin has cooled completely down (which usually only takes 10-15 mins after a Genesis treatment). However, you should not have another laser treatment for 4 weeks after the filler is injected. We do laser Genesis every two weeks for best results. My advice would be to finish your laser series and then do filler OR to do filler and then wait a month before starting the series.Cutera manufactures the laser Genesis, so you can check the machine and make sure it has that name on it.

Answer: Yes First you can inject filler immediately after a genesis but not before. I like to have patients either wait a half hour until the skin has adequately cooled or come the next morning. THe problem is your second laser genesis will be 3 weeks from now and I like to wait a solid month before using this type of laser over areas injected with filler. Second the laser genesis is made by cutera so if the laser doesn't have cutera written on it its not the genuine genesis. I hope this was helpful.
