Laser Genesis
Improve the Look of Your Skin
Laser Genesis skin therapy is an innovative, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. A more youthful appearance may be achieved by treating conditions that are typically associated with aging and sun damage.
Laser Genesis is a multipurpose, all seasons, all skin type solution for overall skin health. The non- invasive laser technology safely, discretely and effectively treats fine line wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, diffuse redness and scars.
Laser Genesis gently heats the upper dermis stimulating collagen regrowth. Additional heat is generated in dilated capillaries to reduce redness. You can expect to see subtle yet consistent results after each treatment, without unwanted side effects such as bruising or excessive skin irritation. Treatments are performed in a relaxed, comfortable manner without the use of topical anesthetics or gel.
On average, 4 to 6 treatments are required to achieve optimal results.

How does CoolGlide Vein Therapy work?The Cutera CoolGlide systems deliver pulses of light energy which causes the blood within the vein to coagulate, eventually destroying the vessel which is later reabsorbed by your body. Blood flow will then be redirected to veins deeper below your skin’s surface, where it should be.
-
What type of veins can be treated?The Cutera CoolGlide can remove unsightly veins from all parts of the body. Small, facial veins (or “telangiectaia”) can be treated quickly without bruising or complication. Spider veins and large blue leg veins can also be treated with excellent results. Knotty varicose veins are not good candidates.
-
How does this compare to Sclerotherapy?Your doctor will advise you on the best course of action, but many physicians and patients prefer CoolGlide Vein Therapy because there are no painful injections.
-
What about blood blisters and port wine stains?Blood blisters or “hemangiomas” respond very well to CoolGlide Vein Therapy, usually with just one treatment. Patients with port wine stains and other vascular lesions who had given up on finding a solution have been overwhelmed by the success of their CoolGlide vascular treatments.
-
How many treatments will I need?Often, patients find that one or two treatments are sufficient. However, the number of treatments necessary depends on the number, colour, and size of the vessels being treated.
-
What happens after the treatment?Following your treatment, some redness or bruising may occur. When larger veins are treated, who have leg vein treatments may be advised to wear support hose for a short period of time.
-
What are the possible side effects?Although many patients report few if any side effects, those most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin. These effects typically last for less than 24 hours. Some patients may experience bruising and, in rare instances, blistering may occur.
-
Are there any restrictions on my activity after treatment?Patients generally resume most normal activities immediately. However, it is recommended that you avoid vigorous activities such as strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun.
-
When will I see results?Most patients find that the majority of the treated veins have shown significant improvement within two to eight weeks of treatment. However, your final results may not be apparent for several months. Over time, it is possible for new veins to appear, but these too can be removed with the Cutera CoolGlide.
