What to Expect From Laser Treatments

Are you tired of scars, tattoos, sunspots, and wrinkles? Do you feel self-conscious about pigmentation issues, visible veins, or loose skin? Laser treatments are the permanent solution to embarrassing skin issues. Improve your skin tone and appearance permanently with IPL (intense pulsed light) laser therapy.

How laser treatments work
As part of the natural aging process, your body’s collagen levels deplete over time. IPL laser therapy utilizes a bright light concentrated in certain wavelengths to target specific areas of the skin, stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.

Laser therapy works by both strengthening your skin and increasing the collagen concentration in your skin, effectively improving skin tone and appearance on the face and body. Gentle laser treatments are effective for age spots, blemishes, hemangioma, spider veins, varicose veins, and tattoo removal.

Laser treatments also firm up your skin permanently. Safe and effective for the face, neck, and body, laser skin tightening can treat loose skin on the stomach and abdomen, thighs, neck, back, and décolletage. By gently heating the inner layer of your skin, the treatments cause your collagen to contract, effectively smoothing and tightening loose skin.

What to expect
The process begins with an initial consultation to discuss your goals and specific areas of concern. Laser therapy is highly effective for both men and women, and you’re a candidate for laser treatments if you live a healthy lifestyle and are in good general health. Your skin texture and thickness may also play a role.

Laser treatments typically take about 20 to 30 minutes per session, with minimal discomfort and little or no downtime. With an integrated cooling system, the virtually painless laser pulses as it passes over the skin, emitting a high intensity light to the area being treated.

After treatment, you can usually return to work or your normal activities immediately. Avoid any direct UV exposure for the next week after treatment and apply SPF to any treated areas.

Results of laser treatments
Depending on your goals and the area of the body, IPL treatments typically involve 4 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart. As the laser treatments jumpstart the body’s natural process to produce new collagen, your results will continue to improve for a number of months after treatment.
