CUTERA (GENESIS) - ORMOND BEACH, FL
The Cutera™ is one of the only FDA-approved non-invasive skin tightening and face-lifting devices, meant to improve skin tone around the jawline, chin, and neck. It is the first tailored infrared light source utilizing special wavelength filters to diminish the signs of aging, laxity, drooping, sagging, and wrinkled skin. This device can be used for face contouring, body sculpturing, and reducing cellulite on the legs and abdomen. It is reported to be effective on hard-to-improve “hanging” skin on older necks and upper arm areas.

Laser Genesis kick-starts new collagen production, to repair signs of aging and sun damage. A nonablative vascular laser (meaning that it doesn’t remove the skin’s top layer), uses micropulse technology at a wavelength of 1064nm, firing short bursts of energy so quickly that it doesn’t damage the skin’s surface.
It can safely treat fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, redness, rosacea, large pores, and acne scars, all without downtime.
The Laser Genesis device can safely treat skin anywhere on the face or body, and it’s often combined with other procedures, like IPL for optimal results.
FAQ's
Some patients see results immediately. However, for most patients, the results are gradual over a three to six-month period as new collagen is formed and the skin tightens.
With each Titan pulse, you will feel a brief heating sensation. Some patients are more comfortable taking a mild pain reliever beforehand. Many patients are comfortable without anything. Dr. Powell or the professional staff will advise you.
Photo Genesis is an innovative way to quickly, safely, and comfortably improve your skin’s texture, tone, and color on your face, chest, arms, and hands, without gel or topical anesthetics. Signs of sun damage and age spots will usually flake off after one or two treatments, leaving clearer, younger-looking skin.
Comfort. We have created a pulsed light system that is exceptionally effective for treating skin redness (rosacea), brown spots, and sun damage at a very comfortable energy level. There is no need to apply topical anesthetic or gel beforehand, and you can realize remarkable results in just one or two treatments.
Virtually any part of your body with uneven skin tone, diffuse redness, or sun and age spots can be safely treated. The face, chest, shoulders, and arms are the most popular areas for treatment because they have typically had the most sun exposure. Discrete brown spots, excessively ruddy complexions, and skin densely covered with freckles respond well to treatment.
The visible light delivered by the Photo Genesis procedure is selectively absorbed by the pigmented spots and red areas on your skin. It’s the heating of the pigmented cells that causes the therapeutic effect.
No. Unlike other systems, the Photo Genesis treatment requires no topical anesthetic or gel before treatment. The gel is messy, time-consuming, and uncomfortable. Photo Genesis is the next generation in pulsed light treatments.
The actual treatment will only take a few minutes. And, since there is no need to apply gel or any topical anesthetic, your total appointment time can easily fit within your lunch hour.
Typically, one or two treatments are sufficient to see dramatic results. Additional treatments may be required for very large or dark spots, densely freckled areas, or excessively sun-damaged skin.
Immediately following the treatment, the spots may start to darken. You may notice a slight reddening of the surrounding skin. This typically subsides within a couple of hours. Over the course of the next one to three weeks, darkened spots will fade and flake off. Your mottled complexion will clear. Consult with your medical professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
Many patients see significant improvement within two to three weeks of treatment. Your complexion will be clearer and younger-looking. However, your final result may not be apparent for a month or more.
Over time new spots may appear if there is sufficient sun exposure. These too can be removed. Remember to liberally apply sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots and excessive redness.
Infrared light energy safely heats the deep layers below the surface of the skin without damaging the outer skin by protecting it using intense cooling. The heat causes collagen contraction and stimulates new collagen production. When the treatment head is applied, the client will feel cooling followed by a short heating cycle (approximately 6 seconds) and then a second cooling phase. During the procedure, the skin’s surface is protected through continuous cooling from the TITAN™ handpiece.
- Deep dermal heating with new collagen formation over time
- Precise placement of heat in the dermis with continuous epidermal cooling
- Minimal discomfort during treatment
- No single-use disposables which result in low cost of ownership
- Can be used on all skin types including tanned skin
The broadband spectrum of 1100 to 1800nm was selected and tailored for ideal water absorption and allows uniform heating of the dermis to produce volumetric heating. Volumetric heating, or heating at 1-2mmdeep, is necessary to produce the desired clinical result and requires a sustained temperature increase in the dermis.
The Titan emits specified light that causes dermal heating (deep within the skin) and is absorbed by water in the skin, where the light energy is converted to heat.
Unlike other tissue tightening devices such as Thermage which can be painful enough to require sedation and anesthetic, patients are amazed by the sensation of the Titan. During a matter of seconds, the Titan handpiece slowly warms then cools the targeted area. Patients should note that because Titan technology is completely different, the feeling of the Titan energy pulse is nothing like that of other lasers such as hair reduction or vein therapy.
The Titan can restore the firm, taut appearance of youth to virtually any area of the body displaying skin laxity. The best results can be seen in areas of sagging from age, sun damage, environmental factors, and weight gain followed by weight loss. Think of it as an anti-sag, not anti-flab, corrector. Areas with fatty deposits and/or poor muscle tone are not usually good responders to Titan treatment.
In order to achieve your desired tightening, whether, on the jowls, eyelids, neck, or abdomen, you will most likely need to have three treatments. Treatments are scheduled one month apart. Most patients notice some immediate results, especially after the second and third treatments. Your skin will continue to tighten for some time following your final treatment, with the most dramatic results being seen three to six months later.
Titan utilizes a safe, infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin’s surface. This heating can cause immediate collagen contraction. During the procedure, the skin’s surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan handpiece. After the procedure, new collagen growth results in further tightening and the development of a more youthful complexion with fewer lines, folds, or looseness of the skin.
Titan employs light energy because it provides a more uniform distribution of energy for heating the deep dermis than other energy sources such as RF (radio frequency).
Patients have been successfully treated on many areas of the body where the skin is lax. Loose skin on the abdomen, back of the upper arm, along the jawline, and under the chin have responded particularly well to the procedure.
Since the Titan procedure is heating tissue under the skin’s surface, patients of any skin type can be treated. Men and women of all ages have been successfully treated.
A single treatment has produced very good results for some patients; however, it is best to assume that three of four treatments will produce the results you desire. Dr. Powell and the professional staff will advise you as to the number and frequency of treatments recommended for optimal results.
Immediately following the treatment, you may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated area. Both should dissipate within a few hours. Consult with Dr. Powell or the professional staff for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.
