Laser Genesis uses light energy at specific wavelengths to heat the upper dermis. This thermal process encourages natural skin renewal and may support improvements in surface texture and the appearance of vascular irregularities.
The device operates in a non-ablative mode, meaning it does not remove surface tissue. Individual responses to the procedure vary, and multiple sessions may be required. Downtime varies between individuals.
Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. Each session is performed within a licensed clinical setting in accordance with applicable laser safety requirements.
What to Expect With Laser Genesis
Before The Procedure
A full consultation with Dr Scott Allison or another 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 The Procedure
Protective eyewear is worn at all times.
The Laser Genesis handpiece is passed over the treatment area, delivering targeted pulses of light energy that warm the skin.
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, depending on the area treated.
After The Procedure
Temporary redness or swelling can occur but generally subsides within hours.
Sun protection and appropriate skincare are essential following treatment.
Multiple sessions are usually recommended for cumulative benefit.
Recovery varies between individuals.
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 address overall appearance and evenness.
Potential Risks and Considerations
All laser procedures carry risks. That may include temporary redness, swelling, or warmth. Less common risks may include:
-
Pigment change (temporary lightening or darkening)
-
Dryness or 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 procedure 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 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.
