What is Ethera Long Pulse?
Long-pulsed laser technology delivers laser energy over a longer pulse duration than technologies such as Q-switched lasers. Depending on the wavelength, settings and treatment technique, this energy can be used to target different structures within the skin. On the Ethera platform, long-pulse treatments may be used for selected vascular concerns or delivered using gentler treatment protocols aimed at diffuse redness and overall skin quality. The treatment experience, settings and expected results can therefore vary considerably depending on what is being treated.
Best for
Visible facial vessels
Selected redness
Telangiectasia
Diffuse redness, texture, pores and skin quality
Additional benefits people may notice
Reduced visibility of selected vessels
Improved overall skin quality
More even-looking skin tone
Ethera Long Pulse may be used in different ways depending on the treatment goal. Vascular treatment is more relevant to visible vessels and selected redness, while Genesis-style treatment is generally broader and may be considered for diffuse redness, texture, appearance of pores and overall skin quality.
Two ways long-pulse treatment may be used
01 — Vascular Treatment
Best suited to
Visible superficial vessels
Telangiectasia
Selected facial redness
Selected vascular lesions
How it works
Laser energy is selected to target haemoglobin within visible blood vessels. The treated vessel absorbs the energy, allowing the body to gradually clear the targeted vessel.
Treatment approach
More targeted than a general skin-quality treatment. Individual vessels or areas of vascular change may be specifically treated.
02 — Genesis-Style Treatment
Best suited to
Diffuse redness
Mild uneven tone
Skin texture
Appearance of pores
General skin quality
How it works
Long-pulsed laser energy is delivered more gently across the treatment area, producing controlled heating within the skin.
Treatment approach
Rather than targeting individual visible vessels, treatment is generally performed across a broader area with the aim of progressively improving redness and overall skin appearance.
When long-pulse laser may not be the first choice
The most appropriate laser or light treatment depends on what is causing the redness or skin concern. Diffuse redness, individual visible vessels, pigmentation and inflammatory skin conditions can look similar but may respond differently to treatment. Some vascular concerns may require a more targeted vascular laser approach, while pigmentation-dominant concerns may be better suited to IPL, Q-Switch, Pico or another pigment-focused treatment. Active inflammatory skin conditions or unexplained persistent redness may also require assessment before cosmetic laser treatment is considered. Professional assessment helps determine what is actually being treated and which technology and settings are most appropriate.
Example treatment journey
01 — Consultation
02 — Treatment selection
03 — Treatment
04 — Recovery
05 — Results
The redness, vascular concern or skin-quality goal is assessed along with skin type, medical history and previous treatment response. The practitioner determines whether treatment should focus on specific vascular targets or a broader Genesis-style skin treatment. Laser energy is delivered using settings selected according to the treatment target. Targeted vascular treatment may focus on individual vessels or areas of redness, while Genesis-style treatment is generally delivered more broadly across the treatment area. Temporary warmth or redness may occur. More targeted vascular treatments may produce additional temporary redness or swelling depending on treatment intensity. Improvement develops progressively.
What results can you expect?
Vascular treatment may reduce visibility of selected vessels, reduce appearance of selected redness and create more even-looking skin colour. Genesis-style treatment may reduce appearance of diffuse redness, improve overall skin quality, smooth-looking texture, reduce appearance of pores and support more even-looking skin tone. Results vary and vessel clearance or skin rejuvenation should not be guaranteed.
What is the downtime?
Downtime is generally low, although it depends on the treatment mode and intensity. Possible temporary effects include redness, warmth, mild swelling and sensitivity. Targeted vascular treatment may occasionally create more noticeable temporary changes than a gentle Genesis-style treatment.
Results develop progressively and vary according to whether treatment is focused on targeted vascular concerns or a broader Genesis-style skin-quality approach.
COST
Indicative Australian price range
$200–$500
per treatment
Cost varies considerably depending on whether treatment is targeting a small number of vessels, a larger vascular area or a full-face Genesis-style treatment. Pricing also varies according to clinic, device and practitioner.

Other approaches that may be considered
The most appropriate option depends on whether the concern is an individual vessel, diffuse redness, pigmentation, texture or overall skin quality.
Ethera IPL
May be considered when pigmentation and diffuse redness occur together.
Dedicated Vascular Laser
May offer more targeted treatment for selected vascular concerns.
Q-Switch Laser
More specifically focused on selected pigmentation rather than vascular concerns.
RF Microneedling
May be considered when texture, pores or scarring are the primary treatment goal.
Supporting skincare
Laser-course support
• Gentle skincare
• Daily broad-spectrum sun protection
• Barrier-supportive products where appropriate
• Avoiding known redness triggers where relevant
Gentle skincare and daily broad-spectrum sun protection can support skin health during a laser treatment course. For redness-prone skin, avoiding known triggers and using appropriate barrier-supportive skincare may also form part of the overall management plan.
Skincare can support the skin barrier and overall skin health, but it should not be presented as treating inflammatory skin conditions or replacing professional assessment where redness is unexplained or persistent.
