Skin Laser Treatment Options
Laser treatments for skin use concentrated, pulsing beams of light to stimulate your body’s natural healing process and increase collagen production. It removes the outermost layer of your skin and heats the underlying layer which results in new skin that is smoother and more firm.
Lasers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, remove blemishes, tighten skin, and balance tone. They are a low-risk and widely used form of skin treatment, and multiple sessions may be required. They can also be tuned to fit skin type, condition, and response to treatment.
Laser Treatment For Skin
Laser treatments can treat a variety of skin conditions, from acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation to skin rejuvenation concerns and even hair and tattoo removal. The reason behind their versatility comes down to the many distinct types of lasers which can be used for treatment. Each laser is meant for a specific purpose and can reach down to varying skin depths.
Some laser treatments only affect the most superficial layer of your skin while others may penetrate deeper to treat certain skin conditions. There’s no one-laser-fits-all solution and the laser wavelength is adjusted based on the patient’s skin condition to deliver the best possible results. Recovery time may vary from patient to patient but range from a few days to a week. Full results may only be seen after months as the skin needs time to recover, heal, and renew itself. Multiple sessions are usually recommended and the improvements to your skin may last for years.
