Say Goodbye to Aging Skin with Laser Treatments

by Andy Cheng Director

Laser treatments for skin problems have become increasingly popular in recent years. With modern laser technology, more patients can reap the benefits from precise, targeted laser treatments with lower downtime. The advanced development in laser technology has significantly contributed to the ever-growing anti-aging segment of the aesthetic market.

With its superficial treatment, yet effective anti-aging benefits, laser procedures have now become one of the must-have treatments incorporated into most skin rejuvenation regime.

Medical lasers have evolved so much that it can be used to treat a variety of skin problems such as skin pigmentation, tattoo removal, acne scars, and skin tag removal. Here are some common anti-aging, skin rejuvenative benefits laser treatments can do for you:

REMOVAL OF WRINKLES AND SCARS Carbon dioxide fractional laser resurfacing remains the most effective non-invasive treatment for acne scars, deep wrinkles, and fine lines on the face.

eCO2 treatment is an advanced fractional ablative laser that is designed for an effective resurfacing treatment to minimize downtime for the patient. It features the patented Controlled Chaos Technology to deliver micro-laser beam by maximizing heat dissipation between shots.

By creating micro-ablative columns, old skin on the surface is broken to encourage the growth of new skin. During the healing process, collagen production will be stimulated to tighten loose, saggy skin and improve appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

PORE MINIMIZER AND OIL CONTROL Spectra Carbon Laser Peel helps to rejuvenate the appearance of aging skin. This safe and gentle treatment is suitable for most skin type.

Using Q-switched laser technology, Spectra Carbon Laser Peel generates an effective wavelength to promote good collagen remodeling in the skin and provides skin rejuvenative effects.

A thin layer of medical carbon is applied on the face. The liquid carbon will penetrate into the pores. When the laser hits the skin surface, it reacts with the carbon by instantly vaporizing the carbon. At the same time, any toxins and bacteria that are lodged to the carbon will be removed.

As the carbon is targeted by the laser, it exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells and blackheads. Spectra Carbon Peel also aids in reducing Propionibacterium acnes (acne-causing bacteria) for better management of pimples and acne outbreaks. At the same time, it shrinks the sebaceous glands, resulting in less oil production and reducing congestion in the pores.

PIGMENT ELIMINATION AND SKIN BRIGHTENING Pigmentation and dull skin are usually associated with aging. Pigmentary disorders such as age spots and melasma may affect one’s self-esteem or confidence.

Fortunately, achieving a clear complexion is no longer difficult. Spectra XT is optimal for breaking down the melanin in the skin. Optimum Lattice Technology is the latest treatment to clear stubborn pigments. Using high peak power and short pulse to ensure precise, safe destruction of pigmentation with no damage to the surrounding skin tissue.

One of the most popular combination laser therapy program introduced in Radium Medical Aesthetics is Skin Illumination Program. It consists of not one, but four different types of pigment-reducing laser treatments - Dual Yellow Laser, Skin Brightening Laser, Ruvy Touch Pigment Laser, and LASEMD Skin Perfecting Laser.

After completing the program of 5 sessions, you will notice your skin texture improve, with dark pigmentation disappear from your skin.

COSMECEUTICAL DELIVERY Typical skin care products have great difficult in penetrating the skin to exert its full effects due to the low absorption rate. The skin acts as a natural barrier to keep foreign objects from entering your body, including your skin care products.

A Cosmeceutical Delivery System (CDS) is a very new process of administering cosmeceutical compound into the skin to achieve a beneficial, anti-aging effect. The CDS concept was introduced to enhance the penetration rate of the active ingredients of the cosmeceutical products.

The fiber-based laser creates micro-channels with a minimal beam diameter of 100µm in the skin to minimize downtime but sufficient for the entry of the cosmeceutical products.

LASEMD CDS ampoules series is designed for the purpose of infusing the active ingredients after the micro-channels are created by the LASEMD laser. Each ampoule, containing either vitamin A, vitamin C, tranexamic acid, or resveratrol, has high concentration of active ingredients in its purest form to achieve the desired clinical outcome when it is applied on the raw skin.

LASEMD laser treatment helps to improve overall skin texture, which includes reduction in pore size, less visible fine lines and wrinkles, smoother and tighter skin, and radiant glowing skin after the treatment.
