Laser Therapy Simplified by a Dermatologist
October 7, 2017What is Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy is the use of different invisible wavelengths of light to stimulate distinct layers of skin in order to rejuvenate and anti-age skin. Pigmented lesions can also be effectively removed with specific lasers that cause crusting and stimulate pigment cells (known as melanocytes) to disseminate.
Who is Laser Therapy for?
Laser Therapy is indicated for the following skin concerns.
- Hair removal
- Minimisation and/or the elimination of veins and redness
- Pigment removal
- Tattoo removal
- Anti-ageing
- Acne and Acne Scars
- Oily Skin
What should I know about Lasers?
Non ablative lasers differ from regular forms of laser therapy. Instead of heating and removing the top skin tissue, non-ablative or non-wounding lasers work beneath the surface skin layer. They aim to improve skin texture and tone and minimize fine lines present with minimal side effects and recovery down time. Primarily used to treat facial skin rejuvenation and acne scars, according to a patient’s skin type and condition, non ablative laser therapies computer-control the parameters of light energy delivered from light-based devices.
