LASER GENESIS BY CUTERA

LASER GENESIS BY CUTERA

Experience radiant, refreshed skin with Laser Genesis

Dr Sharon Crichlow is proud to offer Cutera’s Laser Genesis alongside its cutting-edge Excel V+ technology.

 

Laser Genesis is designed to refresh and renew your skin. Using advanced laser technology (sub mili-second pulses), it penetrates beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and target common concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, redness and sun damage.

 

Renowned for enhancing skin texture and appearance, Laser Genesis leaves your complexion smoother, firmer, and brighter.

What is Laser Genesis?

Laser Genesis is a near-infrared YAG laser which gently heats the dermis, located just below the skin’s surface, to produce long-lasting stimulation of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin tone and texture.

 

Dr Sharon Crichlow can also combine Laser Genesis with other clinically proven technologies and topical treatments for optimal results.

  • Why do I need Aviclear?
    You can benefit from Aviclear laser if you have mild, moderate or severe inflammatory acne.
  • How many treatments do I need?
    Treatment consists of 3 sessions at monthly intervals.
  • How long is each appointment?
    1 hour.
  • Is any pre-treatment needed?
    I recommend you take a long-acting non-sedating antihistamine such as Loratadine, desloratine or cetirizine on the day of treatment and for at least one week after each treatment as this reduces the post-treatment inflammation and flare. Your regular acne routine can be continued throughout your sessions until the end of your treatments.
  • What should I expect during treatment? Is it painful? Is any analgesia required?
    For all laser treatments, goggles must be worn. Most patients tolerate the treatment well rating the pain around 4 out of 10- we do not use topical anaesthetic. If you are quite sensitive then it would be helpful to take some paracetamol prior. Wet gauzes are placed on your skin to keep it damp throughout the treatment. The Aviclear tip is also cold which cools the skin and protects it during the treatment. You will feel a cold pressure along with the brief warmth of the laser. Your skin will go red transiently but typically this lasts less than an hour.
  • Is there any downtime?
    No. There will be some redness and a small swelling at each injection site, but this will go within an hour or so unless you get a bruise- bruises can last up to 2 weeks.
  • Is it safe for all skin types?
    Yes.
  • Are there any common side effects / complications that I should know about?
    Side effects and complications are minimal.

Patient Case Study

Some of you might recognise this lady from my website - I treated her acne rosacea with medical management a few years ago with outstanding results but recently she has had a partial relapse and we discussed options.

I normally get great results with IPL but she’s a skin type IV so we didn’t think she was the best candidate for this treatment. Having recently taken delivery of the Excel V+ system we decided to try Laser Genesis and look at the results! In just three hours, her redness had diminished significantly and her skin felt a lot calmer - and this is just one treatment!

Come and experience it for yourself!
