Perhaps one of the greatest innovations in skin related and beauty related (as well as anti-aging) treatments to come around this century are medical lasers. Such lasers rely upon a directed stream of light amplified by radiation to help treat a garden variety of skin conditions. Since their advent and initial first applications during the early 90s, medical lasers have come a long way, transcending all doubt, and are now considered to be a revolutionary treatment method. But what innovative modern treatments do they enable?
The Photo Facial
The photo facial is the laser answer to the deep chemical peel. As opposed to using harsh, industrial grade chemicals to eat through layers of dead skin and slough away dirt, debris and grim, medical lasers simply zap the skin. It’s a faster process that yields far more efficacious results and that requires no chemicals.
Pigmentation Reduction
Pigmentation is able to be reduced using medical lasers. The directed light beams penetrate deep into the dermal layers, destroying the pigmentation cells at their source. In the weeks that follow treatment, the body does the rest by clearing out the damage pigment cells.
Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal is a hot topic, as more people are getting tattoos than ever before in this country. That being said, there are equally as high demands for tattoo removal. With lasers, much in the same manner that pigmentation cells can be destroyed, tattoo ink pigments that were injected by a tattooing needle can also be destroyed.
Scar Treatment
Scar treatment has only ever been a hit or miss method. Expensive creams and lotions only have yielded semi desirable results. Using lasers, the entire game plan shifts. Since lasers can cause intentional and controlled injury, they can also intimate a collagen and elastin healing response in the skin that demonstrates desirable results with scar removal and with scar treatment.
