Laser skin rejuvenation is a revolutionary, non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that utilizes lasers and/or intense pulse light sources to help relieve many common skin ailments that countless people endure every day. The most common skin problems suffered today include sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, facial redness, rosacea, acne and acne scarring. Laser skin rejuvenation can help eliminate these ailments and provide healthier, smoother looking skin.
Laser Skin Rejuvenation has increased in popularity because it is quick, easy, and effective. There are two light sources that can be utilized during laser skin rejuvenation treatments. The Nd: YAG laser and Intense Pulsed Light sources can both be used to revitalize your skin from the inside out. By combining laser light with a cooling cryogen spray, these lasers can provide optimal results with minimal discomfort. When cooling sprays or gels are applied to the skin before laser application, the laser light is able to stimulate deeper tissue cells without damaging the outer layers of skin.
A malfunction in the production of collagen within the deeper skin cells is what causes the formation of many skin ailments. The goal of laser skin rejuvenation is to stimulate the natural growth and production of new collagen within the deeper facial tissue cells. This procedure is deemed effective because it not only stimulates natural collagen growth, but collagen continues to grow even after the treatments have been completed.
Skin rejuvenation technology, in addition to reducing wrinkles and fine lines and resolving acne, acne scarring and facial redness, can also aid in the removal of unwanted skin pigments such as freckles and age spots. Laser technology can penetrate the deeper layers of skin in order to break apart unwanted pigmentation. Once the pigment is broken up, the fragments are absorbed into the immune system and all that remains is healthy, pigment-free skin.
For most, the laser skin rejuvenation procedure is virtually painless, many describe the sensation as a mild tingling or that it feels like a snap of a rubber band against the skin. The procedure may cause some patients mild facial redness in the treated area, but this is usually resolved within a few hours. Laser Skin Rejuvenation is very advantageous because it is non-surgical and requires absolutely no down-time. There are no incisions and no wounds; therefore no healing time is needed.
Patients should not be discouraged if they do not see immediate results. Most patients need several treatments in order to fully resolve skin ailments. Patients may also require touch-up procedures after the initial treatment in order to continue the stimulation of natural collagen growth. During the initial treatment stage, most patients require five to six treatments that will be set at least three to four weeks apart. After the initial series, most will see a serious reduction in freckles, unwanted age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, acne and acne scarring as well as facial redness caused by rosacea. Optimal treatments will result in smoother, healthier skin. |
