Laser therapy can be used as a non-invasive treatment for all kinds of unsightly blemishes, and is a tried-and-true method for hair removal.
Hair Removal
- Permanent hair reduction on all skin types: This treatment targets and destroys hair follicles, resulting in long-term reduction. It’s effective across all skin tones and can be applied to various body areas.
- Effective for facial and body hair: Both fine and coarse hair on the face and body can be treated. Because our hair follicles don’t all grow on the same cycle, multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results.
- Almost any area with unwanted hair growth can safely be treated. Treatment duration varies based on the size of the area, with larger regions like legs or back requiring more time.
Skin Tightening and Rejuvenation
- Wrinkle and fine line reduction: Collagen production stimulation helps to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. This non-invasive approach can provide a more youthful appearance without surgery.
- Collagen stimulation: Controlled heat delivered to deeper skin layers encourages new collagen production; this process continues for several months post-treatment, gradually improving skin texture and firmness.
- Skin texture improvement: Promotes cell turnover and collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin over time.
- Pore tightening: Heat application can help tighten enlarged pores, creating a smoother skin appearance. This effect often accompanies overall improvements in skin texture and tone.
- Acne scar treatment: Collagen production stimulation and skin cell turnover promotion can help reduce the appearance of acne scars. Significant improvement usually requires multiple treatments.
Pigmented Lesion Treatment
- Sunspots, age spots, freckles: Excess melanin in these lesions is targeted, breaking it down for natural removal by the body. This process can significantly lighten or remove these spots.
- Benign keratoses: These growths can be effectively addressed by targeting pigmented cells. Typically, the lesions darken and then flake off over several weeks.
- Sun damage: This approach helps even out skin tone and reduce the overall appearance of sun-induced pigmentation.
Vascular Lesion Treatment
- Telangiectasias (spider veins): Hemoglobin in these small, dilated blood vessels is targeted, causing them to collapse and be reabsorbed by the body. This may significantly reduces their appearance.
- Port wine stains: These birthmarks can be effectively treated by targeting malformed blood vessels. Optimal results usually require multiple treatments.
- Hemangiomas: Treatment can help reduce the size and color of these benign vascular tumors.
- Facial redness, broken blood vessels: Visible blood vessels and general facial redness can be targeted and reduced. This is particularly beneficial for conditions like rosacea.
- Leg veins: Smaller leg veins can be effectively treated. Heat application causes the vein to collapse and eventually be reabsorbed by the body.
- Rosacea: Facial redness and visible blood vessels can be reduce; best results often require multiple treatments.
- Venous lake: These small, soft, compressible, blue-to-dark purple papules can be effectively addressed. Treatment causes the lesion to shrink and fade.
Additional Treatments
- Nail fungus (onychomycosis): Treatment can penetrate the nail to target underlying fungus. Multiple sessions are usually required, and results may take several months as the nail grows out.
- Pseudofolliculitis barbae (razor bumps): This condition can be improved by reducing hair growth and inflammation in the affected area.
- Psoriasis: Mild to moderate psoriasis can be managed by reducing inflammation and slowing the growth of affected skin cells. It’s often used in combination with other treatments.
- Keratosis pilaris: This common condition causes small, rough, sometimes white, brown or red bumps on the skin; cutaneous laser treatment can smooth out the bumpy texture and reduce redness. Multiple treatments are usually needed.
- Warts: Treatment can destroy the blood vessels feeding the wart and kill the causative virus. This approach is often used when other methods have failed.
