The Laser Genesis procedure utilizes non-invasive laser technology which safely, discretely and effectively treats fine lines and wrinkles, diffuse redness, large pores, uneven skin texture and scars. With our Cutera XEO laser you can expect to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment, without side effects. Treatments can be performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of topical anesthetics or gel.

By gently heating the upper dermis well below your skin's surface, Laser Genesis stimulates collagen regrowth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness.

The treatment results are often subtle. On average, you may require four to six treatments in order to achieve optimal results. Every patient's condition and needs vary. The results and number of treatments you can expect will be assessed at your consultation.

No. Most people experience a pleasant warming sensation, so relaxing that some have been known to fall asleep during the treatment.

Over the course of four to five treatments, Laser Genesis can help restore the skin's youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven texture caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a more even, healthy complexion as large pores are reduced in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

The treated spider veins will be darker and more visible but will fade over the next 2 to 6 weeks. We recommend at least 3 treatments to occur at planned intervals. In many cases facial spider veins disappear after treatment, but several treatments are needed to ensure an optimum result. You may encounter some minor bruising or discomfort after treatment, but this will quickly recede.

In general there is a requirement for multiple treatments in order to gain maximum improvement. The number of treatments required, are dependent on several factors, can only be determined during your consultation.

It feels like a small rubber band snapping against the skin. The laser treatment is well-tolerated and pain relieving medication or local anaesthetic is usually not required.

You can plan on spending an hour at the clinic. There is no downtime associated with laser vein therapy. The risks associated with laser vein therapy are minimal. Your eyes will be shielded during the treatments. We use state-of-the-art cooling systems, thus the treatments are low risk and relatively pain-free.

IPL is an innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably improve your skin's texture, tone and colour. It can be used to treat your face, chest, arms and hands, without gel or topical anesthetics. Signs of sun damage and age spots will usually flake off after one or two treatments, leaving clearer, younger-looking skin.

The treatment results are often subtle. On average, you may require four to six treatments in order to achieve optimal results. Every patient's condition and needs vary. The results and number of treatments you can expect will be assessed at your consultation.

When the handpiece is placed on your skin, it will feel cool and comfortable. When the pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation.

Many patients see significant improvement within two to three weeks of treatment. Your complexion will be clearer and younger-looking. However, your final result may not be apparent for a month or more.

Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see dramatic improvement in skin colour. Additional treatments may be required for very large or dark spots, densely freckled areas, or excessively sun-damaged skin. We recommend 5 treatments for the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and a marked improvement in skin texture.

Over time due to sun exposure new spots may appear. These can be removed with further treatments. We recommend the liberal application of full spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater and reducing sun exposure.

While IPL by itself is effective in reducing overall sun damage, by combining the IPL treatment with Levulan^® there is an increased level of improvement. You will see an even greater cosmetic benefit with each treatment – reduced pore size, more even coloured tone, smoother texture and restoration of a youthful, rejuvenated look.

As we grow older, minor imperfections can turn into multi-layered problems. We use the latest XEO^® laser system, which takes a 3 dimensional approach to skin rejuvenation – resulting in noticeably improved skin tone, texture, and tightness. We can treat the skin at 3 different depths using 3 different techniques – IPL, Laser Genesis^® and TITAN^®. Each type of treatment is available on an individual basis; however, when used together the treatments can achieve outstanding results including firmer, glowing skin.

This is an exciting new approach to non-ablative skin rejuvenation.

It takes about an hour after the topical anaesthetic is put on.

Prior to the treatment you will receive treatment to ensure that you are not uncomfortable during the laser procedure. Typically all that is needed is topical numbing crème and ibuprofen. We take extra care to ensure that you will be comfortable during the treatment and afterwards. We will provide you with post-treatment care instructions and will also schedule a follow up visit to chart your progress.

After your first treatment you may see a very positive change, but for best longer lasting results you will require about 3 treatments. In the case of deep acne scarring you may require 5 treatments.

You can have treatment on the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms, abdomen and scars – on most places.

Your facial appearance will be red and swollen – somewhat like sunburn. This can be covered with make-up. You can return to you regular routine or work the next day. Within 48 hours your skin will undergo ‘bronzing’ and there will be shedding of flakes. When this is completed your skin will be smooth and glowing. The changes are completely natural and while you may receive remarks about how good your skin looks, there will be no evidence that a laser procedure has been done other than an improvement in your appearance. The collagen production that is stimulated by the treatment continues for 6 -12 months, so you will continue to see additional subtle changes.
