Thanks to recent advances in laser technology, we can offer more effective treatments with less downtime for patients. Lasers can be used for a variety of indication and yield stunning results solely or in combination with other treatments.
1. Wrinkles and acne scars:
Laser can improve skin texture that results from factors such as sun damage, smoking, and simple collagen depletion from aging. Collagen depletion can also result from acne scarring and other trauma to the skin. The use of laser will help restore dermal volume and correct textural irregularities. There are more than one treatment option to choose from and combination modality to best fit your needs.
2. Skin tightening and rejuvenation:
Multiple technologies can be used for a face lift; brow lift and double chin. They work to improve the tone and firmness of your skin by heating the existing collagen causing it to contract and stimulating the production of even more collagen and elastin. Multiple treatments maybe required to reach the desired results. Soon after you will notice smoother, softer skin and a more youthful appearance. The effects continue to improve over the next few months following laser skin tightening treatment, as the skin’s natural stores of collagen are gradually replenished.
3. Vascular lesions:
The presence of red or purple discoloration of the skin may indicate underlying dilated blood vessels in the superficial and or deep layers of the skin. Lasers can be used for the treatment of dilated blood vessels. Conditions that can be effectively treated with these lasers include:
- Rosacea
- Spider nevi
- Telangiectasia
- Congenital birth marks
- other vascular lesions
4. Tattoos:
Dermatologic laser technology is used to significantly lighten or completely remove your tattoo. The ink particles of your tattoo are the target of the laser light. They are essentially blasted into particles tiny enough that your body’s natural cleansing and detoxification system eliminate them from your body. This clearing mechanism takes several weeks. Larger ink particles may require multiple treatments. The number of treatments required to achieve best results depends on the size, color, depth and location of the tattoo.
5. Pigmented lesions:
The pigment, melanin, in the skin is produced by melanocytes. The appearance of brown spots or pigmentation can appear over time as a result of many factors such as aging, sun-exposure, hormonal changes, etc. Making the correct diagnosis is key prior to proceeding with the treatment to achieve optimal results. Treatments are safe and effective in removing pigmentation in as little as 1-3 treatments. Both body and facial areas can be treated with minimal side effects and recovery time.
6. Hair removal:
Lasers and other energy based devices have been safely used for many years for the removal of unwanted hair and solving the problem with ingrown hairs. Unwanted hair can be treated with many systems based on the skin and hair type. All skin types and all body parts can be treated for hair removal under the supervision of a physician.
