Laser Genesis uses light energy at specific wavelengths to gently heat the upper dermis. This controlled thermal process encourages natural skin renewal by improving surface texture and reducing the visibility of vascular irregularities.
The device operates in a non-ablative mode, meaning it does not remove surface tissue. This allows for a gradual, progressive effect over multiple sessions with minimal visible downtime.
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Each session is performed using eye protection, calibrated settings, and sterile technique in accordance with Australian laser safety regulations.
What to Expect With Laser Genesis
Before Treatment
A full consultation with Dr Scott Allison or an experienced dermal clinician is required before any laser procedure.
Your consultation includes a review of your medical history, previous cosmetic procedures, and skin assessment to determine suitability and plan treatment frequency.
During Treatment
Protective eyewear is worn at all times.
The Laser Genesis handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering controlled pulses of light energy that gently warm the skin.
Patients typically describe the sensation as warm or relaxing.
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
After Treatment
Temporary redness or mild swelling can occur but generally subsides within hours.
Sun protection and gentle skincare are essential following treatment.
Multiple sessions are usually recommended for cumulative benefit.
Short recovery for most patients, though individual responses vary.
Area Commonly Reviewed During Consultation
Face
To support surface texture and visible tone.
Neck
For areas prone to mild laxity or sun exposure.
Décolletage
To manage uneven tone or sun-related changes.
Hands
To improve overall appearance and evenness.
Potential Risks and Considerations
All laser procedures carry some degree of risk. Temporary redness, swelling, or warmth are common and usually short-lived. Less common risks may include:
-
Mild pigment change (temporary lightening or darkening)
-
Dryness or mild flaking
-
Rare blistering or crusting if aftercare is not followed
-
Infection (rare, if the skin barrier is compromised)
Dr Allison will discuss all possible risks and provide aftercare guidance to minimise complications, you may also read more about on our Risks and Complications page.
Laser Genesis
Suitable Candidates
Laser Genesis may be suitable for individuals seeking a doctor-supervised, non-ablative laser treatment to support even tone, texture, or visible redness. Suitability is determined through a consultation, as some medical conditions, medications, or skin types may not be appropriate for this procedure. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active infections should defer treatment until cleared by a doctor.
Recovery and Aftercare
After treatment, you may experience mild warmth or redness. Most redness resolves within hours, though this may vary based on individual skin response and treatment intensity. Post-treatment recommendations include:
-
Avoid direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours.
-
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
-
Avoid harsh skincare, exfoliants, or retinoids for several days.
-
Keep the area clean and well-hydrated using gentle products.
-
Refrain from exercise or heat exposure (sauna, hot showers) for 24 hours.
Follow-up treatments are typically spaced three to four weeks apart to allow gradual improvement.
