Transcript:With so many lasers on the market, it can be confusing to figure out which systems are effective, safe, and reliable. Wendy Lewis, an international beauty consultant and expert, and author of America's Cosmetic Doctors, is here to help explain some of the newest technologies available. Different types of lasers can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions. Lasers can be used to reduce the size of birthmarks, remove tattoos, minimize veins and redness, and reduce wrinkles. The most common laser application used today is for hair removal. New techniques can also be used to remove brown spots caused by sun exposure. The most commonly used systems are non-wounding lasers that work beneath the surface skin layer to improve tone, texture, pores, and fine lines. Because they work on a deeper level of the skin and do not heat or peel away the top layer of tissue, they have very few side effects. Some Light-based devices, known as IPLs, produce a broad spectrum of light that can be set for each person’s skin type and condition. This technology works well for redness and brown lesions, hair removal, and skin rejuvenation of the face and body. Treatments are typically done in a series of three or more to achieve good results, and can repeated at any time. Another type of device uses radio frequency or infrared energy to shrink the collagen and elastin fibers deep below the skin’s surface, this causes the skin to tighten and improves the appearance of wrinkles. These treatments are growing in popularity because of their ability to having a subtle lifting effect on the skin of the face, neck, and body areas. Your doctor will carefully evaluate your condition and choose the appropriate type of laser or light-based system to achieve the outcome you are looking for. For best results, skin resurfacing procedures should be performed by a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or cosmetic doctor. Aside from skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, laser systems can be used to treat active acne, acne scars, and skin discoloration. The next frontier for laser technology is stretch marks and cellulite. Great strides have been made towards targeting these all too common beauty afflictions. Non-invasive treatments are the fastest growing category of cosmetic enhancements because they offer benefits without the recovery time needed after bigger procedures. Most laser and light based treatments can be performed right in your dermatologist’s or plastic surgeon’s office. Recovery can take from a few hours up to a week, depending on what system is used. To learn more about what lasers and light therapy can do to improve your skin, consult with a qualified laser surgeon in your area.
