Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is suitable for all skin types and requires no anaesthetic or recovery period.
What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a clinically proven, non-ablative laser facial designed to stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce redness and fine lines.
Healthy, radiant skin is often associated with youth and confidence, yet factors such as ageing, stress, and environmental exposure can cause dullness, redness, and uneven texture. At Derma Reading, we use Laser Genesis with the advanced Excel V+ laser system by Cutera to gently revitalise the skin from within — without downtime or discomfort.
Laser Genesis is a clinically proven, non-ablative laser facial designed to stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce redness and fine lines. It works by delivering micro-pulses of light energy into the upper dermis, heating the tissue gently to encourage natural regeneration. Over time, this process smooths uneven texture, minimises pores, and creates a healthy, refreshed glow.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing procedures, Laser Genesis is suitable for all skin types and requires no anaesthetic or recovery period. It’s an ideal “lunchtime laser facial” for those who want noticeable results with minimal disruption to their daily routine. Treatments are safe, comfortable, and suitable for both men and women looking to maintain clear, youthful-looking skin.
What is the Benefit of Laser Genesis?
The benefits of Laser Genesis go beyond surface improvement. By stimulating the skin’s own healing processes, it delivers gradual yet transformative results that continue to develop over time.
One of the key advantages is collagen stimulation. As the laser gently heats the dermis, it triggers fibroblast activity — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This helps to firm and plump the skin, softening fine lines and giving a smoother, more youthful texture.
Laser Genesis also helps to diffuse facial redness by targeting tiny dilated capillaries just below the skin surface. This makes it an excellent option for patients with rosacea, post-acne redness, or general flushing. Over several sessions, the complexion becomes more even and calm.
The treatment is entirely non-invasive and comfortable. Patients often describe the sensation as a mild warming of the skin — similar to standing in the sun — with no need for gels or anaesthetic. After treatment, there is no peeling or downtime, so normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Beyond rejuvenation, Laser Genesis is effective for mild acne scarring, enlarged pores, dullness, and overall skin quality. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands, and it’s safe for all seasons because it doesn’t overly sensitise the skin to sunlight.
Who is Laser Genesis Suitable For?
Laser Genesis is suitable for almost anyone seeking to improve their skin’s tone and texture in a gentle, gradual way. It is particularly effective for people who:
Because the treatment is non-ablative and colour-blind, it is safe across all skin tones, making it inclusive for a broad range of patients.
However, it may not be suitable for those with active infections, open wounds, or recent sunburn in the treatment area. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should defer treatment until later, and patients using photosensitising medications will be advised to stop them temporarily if safe to do so.
Before any Laser Genesis treatment at Derma Reading, you will have a comprehensive dermatology consultation. Your clinician will review your medical history, skin type, and goals, ensuring the procedure is both safe and tailored precisely to your needs.
What is the Process of Laser Genesis?
Each Laser Genesis session at Derma Reading follows a careful, comfortable, and clinically guided process.
Your visit begins with a thorough consultation. Your dermatologist will assess your skin, identify concerns such as redness, scarring, or uneven tone, and explain how the treatment can address them. Baseline photographs may be taken for progress tracking.
During the session, you will relax while wearing protective eyewear. The Excel V+ Laser Genesis handpiece is moved slowly across the skin, emitting gentle bursts of infrared light. These pulses penetrate into the upper dermis, warming the tissue evenly. The warmth triggers collagen remodelling and constriction of small vessels responsible for redness.
The procedure is painless — many patients describe it as soothing or meditative. A typical full-face session lasts around 30 minutes, and there’s no need for gels or numbing creams.
After treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink for a few minutes but will soon return to normal. You can apply make-up straight away if desired. Most patients notice a healthy glow within hours, with cumulative improvements over several sessions.
A course of four to six sessions, spaced about two to four weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every few months can help preserve your new radiance.
Some patients experience transient redness or warmth immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within an hour. Very rarely, mild swelling or dryness may occur. When performed by qualified practitioners, the risk of burns, blistering, or pigmentation change is extremely low.
Risk
Laser Genesis is known for its excellent safety profile. Because it works below the skin surface without removing tissue, complications are rare and side effects minimal.
Some patients experience transient redness or warmth immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within an hour. Very rarely, mild swelling or dryness may occur. When performed by qualified practitioners, the risk of burns, blistering, or pigmentation change is extremely low.
At Derma Reading, our dermatologists customise laser parameters to your specific skin type and use the latest Excel V+ technology, which incorporates precision temperature control and consistent energy delivery. This ensures both safety and predictable results.
What is the Recovery Time & Outcome for Laser Genesis?
Recovery after Laser Genesis is refreshingly simple. There is no downtime — you can return to work, exercise, or social events immediately.
Immediately post-treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm and appear rosy, but this usually fades within an hour. Some people even schedule Laser Genesis sessions before important events because of the instant, healthy glow it provides.
To maintain results and support collagen renewal, gentle skincare and regular sunscreen use are recommended. Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinoids for 48 hours, and keep the skin well hydrated.
Over the following weeks, you’ll notice progressive improvement: fine lines soften, redness subsides, pores tighten, and overall tone becomes more luminous. With repeated treatments, the benefits build — creating naturally radiant, healthy-looking skin that lasts.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Laser Genesis is one of the most comfortable aesthetic laser treatments available. Patients typically experience only a gentle, warming sensation during treatment.
Can Laser Genesis help with acne scars?
Yes. The laser’s collagen-stimulating effect helps smooth the appearance of mild acne scarring and improve skin texture. It also reduces redness associated with old blemishes.
Many people notice an immediate improvement in glow and texture. However, because collagen renewal takes time, optimal results appear gradually over several sessions and continue to develop for months afterwards.
A course of four to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart delivers the best outcome. After completing the initial course, maintenance sessions every few months help sustain your results.
Yes. The non-ablative wavelength used in Laser Genesis is safe for all skin tones. The energy is absorbed by water within the skin, not by pigment, which minimises the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
None. You can return to normal activities immediately, making it ideal for busy schedules or as a pre-event treatment.
Collagen stimulation continues for several months after each treatment. With periodic maintenance, results can last indefinitely as part of a consistent skincare and sun-protection routine.
