    Laser Genesis for Acne  

    Laser Genesis is a non-invasive treatment that is gentle but effective in treating Acne and the after-effects of Acne Scarring. 

    We use this industry-leading laser by Cutera® to help manage and control Acne and improve the skin’s overall health. We often recommend a course of Laser Genesis Treatment as an additional line of defence against Acne in patients taking prescription medicine.  

    How does it treat Acne? 

    It works by heating the layers of the upper dermis, well below the skin’s surface. This stimulates the release of collagen and allows blood to run smoothly through capillaries, improving circulation. This enhanced circulation encourages the reduction of redness and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation caused by acne. 

    The stimulation of new collagen production can improve scarring, fine lines and uneven skin tone and reduce large pore size, which is often associated with problematic skin. 

    Patients will quickly see improvements in the overall skin tone and texture. This gentle yet effective treatment can be combined with our AviClear Laser for transformative Acne results. 

     How can it help treat redness & Rosacea? 

    The thermal energy of Laser Genesis targets the tiny vessels and capillaries that cause persistent skin redness, such as with conditions like rosacea. By breaking down these vessels, blood trapped under the skin’s surface dissipates, reducing overall redness.

    Results

    Four to six treatments are advised, ideally set at around three weeks between each appointment. However, because collagen will often continue to be produced long after each treatment, most patients will continue to see the benefits for some time after these have been completed.
