WHAT IS LASER GENESIS
Our cutera Laser Genesis Treatment in Honolulu (Laser Genesis) utilizes non-invasive laser technology to safely, discreetly and effectively treat fine lines and wrinkles, diffuse excessive redness, pigmentation, and also help manage large pores. It even treats uneven skin texture and helps to reduce scars from acne on the skin. It is a safe and effective laser treatment that is scientifically proven to stimulate the skin’s production of collagen and elastin. Micro-pulses of light safely heats the upper dermis below your skin’s surface to reduce redness on the face, fade acne scars and age spots, reduce the size of pores and restore a more youthful glow.
A light lactic peel helps to exfoliate and hydrate the skin before the treatment while a crystal fiber mask is applied afterwards to heal and hydrate.

Although the individual treatment results are subtle, the overall effect of a treatment series can be quite dramatic and leave you with an overall more healthy and youthful appearance.

After Your Laser Genesis Treatment in Honolulu
Laser Genesis might be a good choice for you if:
You have enlarged pores or redness from sun damage: Laser Genesis seals off problematic blood vessels that cause redness and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
• You have sunspots, uneven pigmentation and texture, or scarring: Laser Genesis evens skin tone and texture, including scars. It stimulates collagen production, improving texture and fine lines and helping to minimize pores. It also helps to smooth and soften scars.
• You don’t need treatment for heavy wrinkling: Laser Genesis works best for early aging, fine lines, and sun damage.
• You’re okay with having multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart: You may need three to five sessions, two to four weeks apart, to see optimal results.

Common Side Effects and Expected Down Time
Given its gentle nature, you can expect minimal downtime and only mild side effects following a Laser Genesis treatment. There’s often some redness and mild swelling, but the redness usually subsides within a few hours after the treatment for most people.
