Laser Genesis
A signature treatment performed using our Cutera device, Laser Genesis is loved by skin junkies and celebrities alike. It has arguably become one of the world’s most popular laser skin treatments, known for its powerful yet pain-free and zero-downtime rejuvenating abilities.
How Does Laser Genesis Work?
This non-invasive laser gently heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin fibres, growth factors, and other beneficial cellular functions. This results in smoother, plumper, healthier skin, with improved texture and radiance. This thermal effect can also be used to treat small veins and broken capillaries, including those responsible for the redness associated with rosacea. These tiny vessels collapse in response to the induced heat, and are then safely transported out of the body via our lymphatic system.
What Can Laser Genesis Treat?
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild loss of volume
- Rough texture
- Dullness, poor tone and clarity
- Diffuse redness/rosacea
- Capillaries
- General skin quality
Who Is Laser Genesis Best Suited For?
Laser Genesis is ideal for those wishing to treat mild signs of ageing, and boost their skin’s health and vibrance without the downtime of more invasive laser treatments. It’s also best suited to those seeking laser skin rejuvenation without discomfort. No numbing cream is required, and your skin may feel slightly warm and appear mildly pink to red immediately following your Laser Genesis session. This will subside in a matter of hours. It is often referred to as the ‘Red Carpet facial’, used by many to boost their skin’s glow right before an event or special occasion.
Clear & Brilliant
Another extremely popular non-invasive treatment, Clear & Brilliant utilises fractional laser resurfacing to address various signs of ageing, texture, and skin quality. It can also be used to improve enlarged pores, some mild forms of scarring, and mild superficial pigmentation.
How Does Clear & Brilliant Work?
The laser energy is delivered into the dermis via hundreds of collimated microbeams, encouraging healthy new tissue to form in their place and encouraging collagen and elastin formation. Delivering the energy in many tiny columns (which leaves the tissue outside of those columns untouched) is what allows this treatment to be gentle on the skin, and with no downtime.
What Can Clear & Brilliant Treat?
- Mild acne scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Mild loss of volume
- Rough texture
- Dullness, poor tone and clarity
- General skin quality
Who Is Clear & Brilliant Best Suited For?
While Clear & Brilliant is also classified as a no-downtime treatment, some individuals experience some discomfort, and therefore opt for a topical numbing cream to be applied prior. It is better suited to those with slightly more moderate textural concerns, and will also have more of an impact on pigmentation and sun damage than Laser Genesis. Clear & Brilliant can be used very effectively to tighten sagging skin and reduce wrinkles when a series of sessions is carried out over time.
Which Laser Is Right For Me?
Every skin is unique, and when it comes to laser skin rejuvenation, there are no clear-cut rules which apply to everyone. Each individual has their own unique combination of factors to consider, including age, skin colour, genetics, diet and lifestyle habits, skin thickness, pigmentation, scarring, sensitivity, pain threshold, and much more. Therefore, we always encourage a thorough and personalised consultation with our dermal therapists before you decide on which treatment is right for you.
Do I Need To Do Anything To Prepare?
While laser skin treatments have become exceptionally popular and normalised, they still pose several risks, no matter which laser is used. The energy delivered by our advanced technologies has significant impacts on and below the skin’s surface, so you may need to prepare for your treatment more than you initially imagined. It’s likely that you will be required to use specific skincare products in the weeks prior in order to prep the skin for treatment. This ensures a safe and effective treatment, and reduces the risk of possible adverse events such as unwanted pigmentation after laser application. Our pigment-producing cells are activated by heat, and since most lasers produce heat in the skin, specific skincare can be used to reduce this cell activity and prevent this from occurring. You may also need to visit us for a spot test prior to your full laser appointment, so that we can see your skin’s response on a small inconspicuous patch and ensure it is completely safe to proceed.
At Vitality, we use only the latest advanced technologies on the market, which have been scientifically proven to give amazing results, and safely. But an exceptional treatment goes far beyond that. We take every opportunity to understand you; your needs, your concerns, and your skin. And the first step to this is a visia consultation, and a bespoke treatment plan. From there, together we can achieve the incredible results you’re hoping for.
