Long-Pulse YAG Laser
Our clinic’s long-pulse Nd:YAG laser treatment device uses the U.S. FDA-approved Xeo by Cutera.
This single machine can address various skin and nail concerns.
[Genesis] applies mild thermal stimulation to the upper dermis to activate collagen production. It restores firmness from within, tightens the skin, and is effective for improving surface texture and pores.
Additionally, because the [Genesis] laser light reacts to red pigments, it is used to treat facial redness and keloids.
Furthermore, it is a versatile multi-functional device that can perform nail fungus treatment (known as [Laser Renail]) using the laser’s bactericidal effect, as well as [Vascular Laser] treatment, which acts directly on hemoglobin (the red pigment in red blood cells) to destroy blood vessels.
Recommended for those who:
- Concerned about fine lines
- Makeup doesn’t apply as well as it used to with age
- Want to improve enlarged pores or sagging skin
- Concerned about skin dullness
- Suffering from facial redness
- Concerned about acne scars
- Want to improve dark circles under the eyes
- Want to refine skin texture
- Want firm, glowing skin
Genesis
Laser peeling that targets the lower epidermis to the upper dermis
- ・Reduction of enlarged pores and blackheads
- ・Improvement of skin quality, including fine lines and redness from acne/acne scars
- ・Improvement of telangiectasia (visible capillaries), facial redness, and blue-toned dark circles
- ・Skin tightening effect on the epidermis
What is Genesis?
Genesis stimulates fibroblasts and promotes collagen production by delivering mild pulses of a long-pulse Nd:YAG laser.
This skin quality improvement treatment restores beauty by providing firmness from within to improve fine lines and refine skin texture (see diagram above).
Genesis also promotes skin turnover and acts as a laser peel to remove old dead skin cells, making it effective for improving enlarged pores, acne scars, and dullness.
Furthermore, since the Genesis laser wavelength reacts to hemoglobin (the red pigment in red blood cells), it is also effective in improving facial redness, telangiectasia, and keloids.
While you can feel the firmness and improved makeup application after just one session, more significant results are achieved with 5 to 10 repeated treatments.
This medical laser is approved by the U.S. FDA (the equivalent of Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) and is a highly effective device with an excellent safety profile.
Features of Genesis
- Acts directly on concerns with minimal damage to the surrounding skin.
- Can be performed on patients with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis.
- Minimal pain and a comfortable treatment experience.
- Suitable for all skin tones, including darker skin.

Vascular Laser
Recommended for those who:
- Facial telangiectasia
- Senile hemangioma (Cherry angioma)
- Spider veins
- Post-acne redness
What is Vascular Laser?
Vascular Laser treatment uses a high-output long-pulse Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, which is easily absorbed by hemoglobin (the red pigment in blood), to thermally denature and treat fine vessels in the upper dermis.
A hemangioma is a vascular growth on the skin. They appear in various forms, such as birthmarks or visible vessel shapes, and vary in size and location.
This treatment improves small senile hemangiomas on the skin surface (common on the neck, body, and arms with age) and thread-like capillaries common in women from middle age onward by using heat from the long-pulse Nd:YAG laser that reacts to hemoglobin. For fine vessels, results can be seen in 1 to 2 sessions.
However, conditions like telangiectasia covering the entire cheek are difficult to treat in a single session and require multiple treatments.
Additionally, since blood vessels can regenerate, hemangiomas may reappear even after initial improvement.
