Types of Laser Procedures for Different Skin Conditions
by Steve Son Marketing RepresentativeCosmetic laser procedures are one of the best ways to
address many of the most common skin concerns, including age spots, sunspots,
redness, acne scars and even acne itself. The best thing is we have an
abundance of effective lasers available to treat these skin conditions provided
you know which one is the right fit for your skin. The best thing to do is to
consult with your dermatology provider.
For cosmetic procedures, there are two basic types of lasers
used: ablative and non-ablative. The former actually vaporizes the top layers
of damaged skin, while the latter works deeper in the skin without removing or
otherwise damaging the top layers. That’s why there’s zero downtime associated
with cosmetic procedures that employ solely nonablative laser technology. Again,
the two basic types of lasers can be broken down into many subcategories of
laser types, with the main difference between types of lasers being their
wavelength. A variety of lasers are required to address a variety of skin
concerns since different laser wavelengths target different skin issues. It is
better to leave it in the hands of your surgeon or dermatologist to suggest you
the best laser face treatment, New Jersey or a combination of several different
lasers to address all of the problems that you may have.
Let’s take a look at the top face laser treatments:
Give Your Skin an Insta-Glow- Laser Genesis is
regarded as one of the best cosmetic procedures which uses a 1064 nm wavelength
to gently heat the dermis and rid of any diffuse redness, making it great for
those with rosacea. There’s zero downtime and no commitment.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles- Your dermatologist
might recommend a combination of skin resurfacing and skin-tightening procedures
for treating fine lines and wrinkles, or both can be achieved with a more
ablative laser, such as a CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser or Erbium YAG. CO2 laser
is also used for warts removal and for cutting skin in laser-assisted surgery.
On the other hand, a vascular laser like a pulsed dye laser can be relied upon
when trying to banish broken blood vessels and broken capillaries from your
face. It doesn’t require any pain management and has zero downtime.
Sun Damage- Dermatologists love IPL (Laser Photo Rejuvenation) to
really get rid of those brown spots from too much sun where the sun had its way
with your skin. IPL targets melanin in dark spots.
Acne and Acne Scars- CO2 laser remains the gold
standard for deeper acne scars (the kind that are pitted and impossible to
cover up), although the erbium: YAG, fractional laser and certain nonablative
lasers have proven effective for superficial acne scarring. The best fractional CO2 lasers are the Fraxel Re: pair, MiXto laser,
TotalFX and Matrix CO2.
Vascular Lesions- IPL is a common choice for
vascular lesions, which include broken blood vessels on the face, unsightly
spider veins on the legs, spider nevi, hemangiomas, and certain birthmarks. The pulsed dye, Nd:YAG and diode lasers are also popular choices.
