Cutera Genesis Plus Laser

The GenesisPlus is a multipurpose laser system designed to
provide a fast and effective solution for a wide range of
podiatric conditions, including onychomycosis,
warts and scars.
Its state-of-the-art design allows for customized
treatments tailored to each patient’s individual concerns.
GenesisPlus — the premium laser for onychomycosis, scars and
warts — this state of the art laser, provides a fast and
effective solution for nail fungus & Plantars warts,
with virtually no downtime.
The unique features of the GenesisPlus make it
the laser system of choice to maximize your return and
effectively clear your nails or warts without systematic drugs,
or more invasive therapies.

Laser light from GenesisPlus passes through the nail and
the surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed by
pigment in the fungi, which causes the pigment to heat,
and this heat kills or damages the fungal organism.
This can result in you nail growing normally.

The treatment involves passing the laser beam over the
infected nails and surrounding skin.
Your foot specialist will repeat this several times until
enough energy has reached the nail bed.
Your nail will feel warm during the treatment.
– A single treatment session takes approximately 20 minutes
– Most patients show some improvement after one treatment,
but the required number of treatments will vary depending on
how severely each digit is infected. Most patients will require at
least 2-3 sessions to see major improvements.
– Remove all nail polish or gloss the day before the procedure.
– The procedure is generally comfortable with a
small hot “pinch” that can be felt by some patients,
but resolves quickly. Most patients describe the treatment as
a “warm” sensation, but not uncomfortable, or painful.
– Immediately following the procedure your nail may
feel warm for a few minutes.
You can resume normal activities immediately.
– If treatment is successful, you will see new, healthy nail begin
to grow. It is important to remember that nails grow slowly,
so it may take up to 12 months to see an entirely clear nail.

The GenesisPlus Laser, is an advanced optimized Nd:Yag
laser targeting the tiny blood vessels of warts.
Each laser exerts its effect via physical interaction of
its wavelength and targeting chromophore.
The target chromophore for the wart is
the vascular component.
By obliterating tiny blood vessels within a wart,
advanced laser wart therapy by GenesisPlus can
dramatically speed up destruction of the most resistant warts.

The Cutera Nd YAG laser provides new hope for the removal of
a wide range of warts that are resistant to traditional therapies,
without presenting a high risk of scarring. Typically, more than
two thirds of warts caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) can
be cleared using Nd YAG laser.

To remove the wart, the laser energy is focused directly on
the wart tissue. You may feel a stinging sensation during the
laser treatment, but there is no lasting pain following the
procedure. If needed, a topical anesthesic can be administered,
but this is usually not necessary.
