What Is True Laser Genesis? The Gold-StandardSkin Treatment You Need to Know About
What Is True Laser Genesis? The Gold-Standard Skin Treatment You Need to Know About
If you have been researching skin treatments, chances are you have come across the term "Laser Genesis." It is one of the most talked-about laser treatments in the aesthetics industry, and for good reason. Loved by clinicians and clients alike, Laser Genesis has earned a reputation for delivering beautifully natural results with minimal downtime and maximum comfort.
But here is something many people do not realise: not every clinic offering "Laser Genesis" is delivering the genuine treatment. The name Laser Genesis is a trademarked treatment protocol that belongs exclusively to Cutera, and it can only be performed using a Cutera Excel V or Excel V+ laser system. If a clinic does not have this specific device, they are not performing true Laser Genesis.
At Eltham Cosmetic Clinic, we are proud to house the Cutera Excel V+, the most advanced model in the range. This means when you book Laser Genesis with us, you are receiving the authentic, gold-standard treatment as it was designed to be delivered.
So, What Exactly Does Laser Genesis Do?
Laser Genesis uses gentle micro-pulses of 1064nm Nd:YAG laser energy to heat the upper layers of the skin in a controlled, non-ablative way. This means it works beneath the surface without breaking or damaging the skin, making it one of the safest and most comfortable laser treatments available.
That gentle heating does something remarkable. It stimulates your skin's natural collagen production, encouraging your body to rebuild and remodel collagen over time. The result is a progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness that looks completely natural because it is your own skin doing the work.
Laser Genesis is effective for a wide range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, diffuse redness, mild scarring, and overall skin dullness. It is also one of the few laser treatments that is safe and effective across virtually all skin types, which is one of the reasons it has become so popular.
What Does the Treatment Feel Like (and What About Downtime)?
One of the things our clients love most about Laser Genesis is how comfortable it is. During the treatment, most people describe a gentle, warm sensation across the skin, similar to the feeling of sunlight on your face. There are no sharp pulses, no need for numbing cream, and no discomfort to push through. Many of our clients find it genuinely relaxing.
Afterwards, you may notice a slight pinkness to the skin, similar to a light flush after a brisk walk. This typically settles within an hour or so, and there is no peeling, no crusting, and no social downtime. You can apply makeup and return to your normal activities straight away. It is the kind of treatment you can have on a lunch break and head back to the office feeling refreshed.
In terms of results, many clients notice an immediate "glow" after their very first session: the skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even. The real transformation, however, builds over a course of treatments. We typically recommend a series of four to six sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve the full benefit. As collagen remodels over the following weeks and months, our clients report firmer skin, refined pores, reduced redness, and a significantly smoother, more youthful complexion.
Why the Cooler Months Are the Perfect Time for Laser Genesis
If you have heard the phrase "laser season," this is exactly what it refers to. The cooler months of autumn and winter are the ideal time to invest in a course of laser treatments, and Laser Genesis is no exception.
During the colder months, UV exposure is naturally lower, and we tend to spend less time in direct sunlight. This means your skin is under less environmental stress, which creates the perfect conditions for it to respond to treatment, heal beautifully, and build new collagen without the added challenge of sun exposure working against it.
Booking a short course of Laser Genesis during laser season is one of the smartest "maintenance and prevention" strategies you can adopt for your skin. Rather than waiting until concerns become more advanced, a seasonal series of treatments keeps your skin functioning at its best, stimulates ongoing collagen renewal, and helps maintain that healthy, even-toned complexion year-round. Think of it as a seasonal service for your skin, much like you would maintain any other important investment.
More Than Just Rejuvenation: The Vascular Power of the Excel V+
The Cutera Excel V+ is not only the home of Laser Genesis. It is also a gold-standard vascular laser, which means the very same device your clinician uses for skin rejuvenation can also precisely target and treat vascular concerns.
If you have ever noticed persistent red capillaries or broken blood vessels, particularly around the nostrils, across the cheeks, or on the chin, the Excel V+ can target and eliminate them with remarkable precision. These tiny vessels can be incredibly stubborn and are almost impossible to address with skincare alone. A few targeted pulses from the Excel V+ can make a visible difference, often in just one or two sessions.
For those living with rosacea, the Excel V+ is equally transformative. Rosacea-related redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels all respond beautifully to treatment with this device. Because the laser specifically targets the haemoglobin within the blood vessels, it reduces redness at its source without damaging the surrounding skin. For many of our rosacea clients, this treatment has been life-changing in terms of confidence and comfort in their own skin.
It All Starts with Understanding Your Skin
As with every treatment we offer at Eltham Cosmetic Clinic, Laser Genesis and vascular treatments always begin with a thorough skin consultation. We use our Visia Skin Analysis system to capture a detailed, clinical picture of your skin using multiple lighting modes, including UV and cross-polarised light. This allows us to see beneath the surface and identify concerns such as sun damage, redness, pigmentation, and vascular issues that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Your Visia results, combined with our clinicians' expert assessment, form the foundation of your personalised treatment plan. Whether Laser Genesis is the right starting point for you, or whether your skin would benefit from a different approach first, every recommendation is guided by evidence, experience, and a genuine commitment to your skin's long-term health.
