3D Skin Rejuvenation
Every person ages at a different rate and in different ways. Some develop redness, age or sun spots. Others have large pores, fine lines, wrinkles or lax skin. You may have one, two or all of these conditions. Cutera’s 3D Skin Rejuvenation takes a three-tiered approach to reju-venating your skin for all of these conditions.
LimeLight Facial and Photo Genesis are light-based procedures which address problems right at the skin’s surface - redness, mottled com-plexions, freckles and sun damage.
Laser Genesis utilizes a laser to soften fine lines and wrinkles, shrink pores and decrease or eliminate redness found deeper in the epidermis. Laser Genesis has been proven to stimulate the creation of new collagen, giving your face a more youthful appearance. For more information, see our Laser Genesis page.
Titan is the newest category for skin fitness. The Titan uses infrared light to heat tissue in the deep dermis. For more information, see our Cutera Titan page.

Common Questions:
Who can be treated?
Men and women of any age who wish to improve their skin can be treated. Lax skin, surface wrinkles, redness, brown spots, and enlarged pores are the most common conditions to treat.
What areas can be treated?
The most popular areas for treatment are the face and neck, but other body parts such as the hands, arms and abdomen, are also frequently treated, especially to diminish recent scars.
What can I expect before the treatment?
You will not need gel, anesthetic cream or ice prior to treatment. You may be asked to remove your make-up or moisturizers and, in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated. We will review and assist with all pre-treatment requirements.
What do the treatments feel like?
LimeLight Facial and Photo Genesis deliver a series of light pulses. When each light pulse is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation. Laser Genesis treatments are gentle and soothing. During the session you will feel a series of warm pulses along your skin. With each Titan pulse, you will first feel cool, then a brief heating sensation followed by a cool feeling. Most patients are comfortable without taking any medication; a few prefer taking a mild pain reliever beforehand. We will consult with you to determine which course of action best suits your needs.
How many treatments will I need?
Each treatment regimen is different and customized to an individual patient’s needs. Most patients can expect between 2 and 6 treatments.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effect is a slight redness or mild swelling in the treated area that disappears within a few hours.
When will I see results?
Immediate results are observed by some patients. More typically, you will see results in two to four weeks and improvements will continue for several months.
How does 3D Skin Rejuvenation compare with other laser treatments?
Most lasers treat only one or two aging conditions. They may diminish red or brown spots; they may just reduce lax skin. Only 3D Skin Rejuvenation from Cutera addresses all of the most common conditions of aging – age spots, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles and lax skin.
