How Laser Skin Treatments Remedy Skin Conditions
Using lasers to treat skin conditions continues to be a popular option to target and repair specific problem areas without harming the surrounding area. From minimizing fine lines and wrinkles to removing skin lesions to clearing acne, laser skin treatments offer a variety of cosmetic benefits. Nonablative lasers, including fractionated Er lasers and neodymium (Nd) lasers are less invasive. They stimulate collagen growth without wounding the skin.
While laser skin treatments have risks, they can be a very effective treatment for many people.
Laser skin resurfacing can help skin look younger and healthier
One of the most common cosmetic laser skin treatments, laser skin ‘resurfacing’ uses either ablative or nonablative lasers to improve the skin’s appearance and treat minor facial flaws. This includes reducing the appearance of fine lines, removing or reducing the appearance of age spots, evening out skin tone and texture, reducing sun damage, and reducing or eliminating scars. Although it won’t erase pronounced wrinkles, the stimulated collagen production may help skin look younger and healthier.
Laser treatment can repair sun-damaged skin.
Sun damage from ultraviolet rays can affect the skin in several ways. These include fine and coarse wrinkles; pigment changes, such as brown spots; moles; and red, scaly lesions. Some of these could even evolve into skin cancer. Laser skin treatments repair and regenerate skin cells in these areas by sending photons deep into the skin. The mitochondria in the skin use those photons to increase healthy cell production. In addition, increased production of enzymes, collagen, and cell growth promotes healing.
Laser skin treatments can fix broken blood vessels or spider veins.
Although they may not pose a health hazard, broken blood vessels or unsightly spider veins in the face may start to mar one’s appearance. To remove these lesions, laser skin treatments—typically pulsed dye, diode and neodymium (Nd) lasers—send photons to the veins’ cells, which heat up and destroy the blood vessel. Over time, the vein will shrink and dissolve until it is gone. While laser treatments are preferred for facial spider veins, and possibly on other body parts, it is rarely used to treat spider veins in the legs. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is also used for broken blood vessels.
Acne can be reduced with lasers.
For those suffering from severe acne lasers can provide some relief to this skin condition. However, it requires a trial-and-error treatment plan. Most people will need a series of treatments to see results. In addition, there’s no one single laser or light treatment therapy to treat acne; it requires different types of lasers and lights to find an effective combination. At London Laser we have low level lasers, ipl and diode lasers to treat both the acne and the scarring.
