Laser Photo Genesis is a gentle laser treatment that improves skin tone, texture, and clarity by stimulating the skin's natural healing response.
What Is Laser Photo Genesis?
Photo Genesis uses a unique technology that gently heats the upper dermis—the layer of skin beneath the surface—without damaging the outer layer. This controlled heat stimulates collagen production and the skin's natural repair mechanisms, resulting in gradual but visible improvements in skin quality.
Unlike aggressive laser treatments that remove skin layers or create visible downtime, Photo Genesis works through gentle, repeated treatments that feel like a warm sensation on the skin. The result is refreshed, rejuvenated skin with improved tone and texture.
How It Works
The Cutera Excel V+ delivers carefully controlled light energy that targets problem areas while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The warmth activates fibroblasts—the cells responsible for producing collagen—encouraging your skin to naturally rebuild itself from within.

One of Photo Genesis's key benefits is its ability to reduce persistent redness associated with rosacea and general facial flushing. The light energy constricts dilated blood vessels, reducing the appearance of redness without damaging healthy skin. Over a series of treatments, patients see significant improvement in skin tone uniformity and reduction in visible redness.

Beyond treating redness, Photo Genesis revitalizes uneven complexion and rough texture. Fine lines soften as collagen rebuilds, pores appear smaller, and the overall quality of skin improves. The cumulative effect of multiple treatments is a more radiant, youthful complexion.
The Treatment Experience
Photo Genesis treatments are quick and comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as warm rather than painful. A series typically consists of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, with results continuing to improve for several months after your final session.
There's no downtime—you can apply makeup and return to your normal activities immediately. Mild redness may appear briefly after treatment, but it typically resolves within hours.
Progressive, Noticeable Results
Photo Genesis works gradually, with results becoming more apparent after each successive treatment. Many patients notice:
- Reduced redness and flushing within the first two treatments
- Smoother, more even skin tone after three to four treatments
- Improved skin clarity and texture by the end of the series
