Overview
What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis uses a long-pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. That warmth stimulates collagen and helps reduce diffuse redness without injuring the surface.
There is no numbing and no downtime, so it works well as a regular “lunchtime” treatment, alone or alongside more intensive resurfacing.
What it treats
- Diffuse redness and rosacea-prone skin
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Dull, uneven texture
- Mild acne scarring
Who it’s for
- Patients who cannot take downtime
- Most skin types, including darker tones
- People with redness or sensitive skin
- Anyone maintaining results between treatments

The Technology
Cutera Xeo
A multi-platform system whose long-pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser powers Laser Genesis for gentle, no-downtime rejuvenation.
Does Laser Genesis hurt?
No. Most patients feel only gentle warmth, and no numbing is needed.
Is there downtime?
None. You can return to work or apply makeup right away.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients start with four to six sessions about a month apart.
Is it safe for darker skin?
The 1064 nm wavelength is generally suitable for a wide range of skin tones.
How much does Laser Genesis cost?
Pricing depends on the area treated and the number of sessions you need. We give you a clear quote at your evaluation, and package pricing is often available.
Can Laser Genesis be done before an event?
Yes. Because there is no downtime, it is a popular pre-event treatment.
Does it help acne scars?
It can soften mild scarring and texture over a series. Deeper scars may respond better to RF microneedling or CO2.
Is it safe for rosacea?
Laser Genesis is often used to reduce the diffuse redness of rosacea.
How long do results last?
Collagen built during a series lasts months; occasional maintenance keeps results going.
