Laser treatments, often referred to as laser skin resurfacing, are incredibly popular and offer countless benefits. These benefits range from tighter skin to scar removal to targeted hair reduction.
Learn more about some of the most prominent benefits of laser treatments here.
1. Reduces Hyperpigmentation
Laser treatments help to minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone and texture. Hyperpigmentation is characterized by skin patches that are darker than the surrounding skin.
Hyperpigmentation is a harmless condition, but one that can make individuals feel self-conscious. Laser treatments can fix hyperpigmentation in some individuals. The laser’s focused light beam breaks up and eliminates the darkened pigment in an area. The Harmony® XL laser is a popular solution for people struggling with hyperpigmentation.
2. Tightens Skin
Radiofrequency laser treatments use heat to trigger collagen production. This new collagen helps the skin to appear firmer and tighter. Radiofrequency lasers are often painless and require little to no recovery time.
The ThermiTight® laser is one of the best radiofrequency lasers on the market, and it can work on the face, neck, upper arms, abdomen, and knees.
3. Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production
The goal of all laser treatments is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin proteins. After the age of 20, our bodies start to lose their collagen and elastin stores, both of which are needed to help keep our skin firm and tight. Laser treatments are a simple, non-surgical way to achieve younger-looking and tighter skin by increasing the production of these proteins.
4. Removes Unwanted Hair
Laser hair removal is a permanent solution to stop unwanted hair growth in a targeted area. A laser’s light is pointed at the designated area and absorbed by the pigment in the hair. As the light is converted to heat, it damages the hair follicles. This damaging process ultimately inhibits future hair growth in that region.
5. Reduces Acne Scars
Acne scars can be a massive blow to a person’s self-confidence. Studies show that laser treatments can reduce the appearance and depth of acne scars.
The laser light focuses on the top skin layer and breaks up the scar tissue. By doing this, the appearance of the scar is reduced. Simultaneously, the laser light encourages new, healthy skin cells to grow in the area and replace the scar tissue. If you struggle with acne scars, consider the ThermiSmooth® Laser.
Laser treatments will not cure acne, but it can achieve spectacular results.
