how laser genesis compares to other laser treatments

Laser Genesis, IPL Photofacial, and ExcelV are all non-ablative options that address redness and skin tone, but they work differently and target different concerns. Understanding the distinction can help you and your provider decide on the right approach, or combination, for your skin.

common laser genesis questions

FAQ
how much does laser genesis cost in austin?

Treatment costs vary based on the area treated and the number of sessions in your plan. Most patients budget a few hundred dollars per session. Package pricing is available for a full series, and third-party financing options are offered. Exact pricing is discussed at your consultation.

how many laser genesis treatments will i need?

Most patients start with a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Results build gradually over the course of the series. After completing your initial treatments, periodic maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain results.

what is laser genesis?

Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment that uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin tone, texture, and quality. It is sometimes called a “lunchtime laser” because sessions take about 20 to 30 minutes with no downtime afterward.

what skin concerns can laser genesis treat?

Laser Genesis is effective for diffuse redness, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin tone, mild acne scarring, and early signs of sun damage. It works gradually, with improvements becoming more visible after each session in your series.

how does laser genesis compare to ipl or excelv?

Laser Genesis targets overall skin quality and diffuse redness through collagen stimulation. IPL is better suited for discrete pigmentation and broken capillaries, particularly on lighter skin tones. ExcelV addresses more defined vascular concerns such as rosacea and spider veins. All three can be used together as part of a customized plan. Your provider will recommend the best approach for your skin.

is there any downtime after laser genesis?

There is no downtime. Some patients notice mild, temporary redness immediately after treatment, but this typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to their normal activities right away.

when will i see results from laser genesis?

Results from a full series can last a year or more, and patients who keep up with periodic maintenance treatments often see sustained improvement over several years. Your provider will recommend a maintenance cadence based on your skin.

can laser genesis be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Laser Genesis pairs well with IPL and ExcelV to address a broader range of concerns and extend results. Your Revelus provider will assess your skin and recommend whether a combined treatment approach makes sense for your goals.

how do i prepare for laser genesis?

Avoid tanning beds, direct sun exposure, and self-tanner for four weeks before your appointment. Plan to use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily in the weeks leading up to treatment. Patients on photosensitizing medications should discuss timing with their prescribing physician before scheduling.

what should i avoid after laser genesis?

For the first two weeks after treatment, avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinol, tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid, as these can irritate healing skin. Avoid heat, saunas, and hot tubs for one to two days. Continue daily SPF use and limit direct sun exposure for at least four weeks.

is laser genesis worth the money?

Laser Genesis delivers gradual, cumulative results that build over a series of treatments. Most patients find it worthwhile for maintaining skin quality, managing redness, and softening early signs of aging without any downtime. Results depend on your skin concerns and how consistently you complete your series and maintenance sessions. Your provider can help set realistic expectations during your consultation.

is laser genesis better than microneedling?

They treat different concerns and work well together. Laser Genesis targets redness, diffuse pigmentation, and collagen stimulation through heat energy and requires no downtime. Microneedling uses fine needles to resurface the skin and is better suited for acne scarring and more pronounced texture issues, with a short recovery period. Many patients benefit from both, used as part of a combined plan. Your provider will recommend the right approach based on your skin.

what laser does kim kardashian use?

Kim Kardashian has publicly credited Laser Genesis as part of her skin care routine. The treatment is known for improving skin tone, reducing redness, and maintaining a smooth, even complexion – which is consistent with the results Laser Genesis delivers for our patients at Revelus.
