As of November 2023, our practice discontinued IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and introduced an improved technology called Laser Genesis by Cutera. To learn more about Laser Genesis, please click here!

Below we have outlined the difference between the two technologies.

IPL

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses a broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns. IPL is best at treating hyperpigmentation, redness, and improving texture and tone. IPL can cause mild discomfort, often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. IPL is best suited for lighter skin tones due to the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis uses a non-ablative laser to gently heat the dermis below the skin’s surface. Laser Genesis is best for reducing fine lines & wrinkles, minimizing pores, reducing redness and rosacea, as well as scarring. The laser is moved across the skin, delivering gentle heat. The treatment is usually painless and comfortable. Laser Genesis primarily focuses on collagen stimulation, reducing redness, and improving overall skin texture. Laser Genesis is safe for all skin types.
