Look Younger with Laser Treatments

Posted September 11, 2013 in Laser Treatment, Skin and Laser

Contrary to what you hear, lasers are not machines just used for shooting bad guys in sci-fi movies. They actually help you look younger and rejuvenated in a short amount of time with minimal discomfort and recovery. Laser resurfacing treatments are an excellent option for those who are wanting to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and mouth, even out the complexion of the skin, and smooth out the skin on the face, chest, and hands.

At my Scottsdale office, I use the Palomar Icon Aesthetic System. With this laser and pulsed light system (IPL), I am able to help my patients with many of their cosmetic needs, including hair removal. Photofacial IPL treatments are used to treat melasma (pigmentation problems), broken capillaries, sun damage, rosacea, and small visible blood vessels. It also softens and improves the texture of your skin.

Laser treatments can renew the skin by increasing collagen and elastin, which in turn can reduce fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, less wrinkled appearance. They can also lighten pigmentation on all parts of the body, which can dramatically improve the signs of aging. Fractional laser treatments use laser energy microbeams to reach the dermis in order to create healthy tissue. IPL treatments use gentle pulses of intense, optimized light to treat unwanted pigment and vessels.

Downtime is generally minimal after a laser treatment with little to no bruising or swelling. Patients often need a series of laser treatments to receive optimal results. Schedule a consultation with me or Kristina (our state-certified laser technician) today so you can look younger and more refreshed in no time.
