Aesthetic lasers treatments are non-invasive and offer dramatic rejuvenating benefits that surpass what traditional spa treatments can offer. Renowned for their safety and efficacy across a variety of skin types and tones, aesthetic laser services are an essential treatment on the menu of most all successful medspas.
Advantages of Aesthetic Laser Treatment over Plastic Surgery
Cosmetic surgery, although tempting, still involves surgical procedure and carries risks such as nerve damage, infection, and blood loss. In contrast, aesthetic laser treatments let patients achieve dramatic visible results without experiencing significant downtime, and with the potential for immediate improvement.
Lasers for Skin Rejuvenation
Unlike traditional spa treatments that simply cleanse and hydrate your skin, aesthetic laser treatments go deeper to revitalize your skin from within. With their skin-tightening, rejuvenating, and resurfacing properties, your clients will enjoy a youthful and refreshed appearance.
For example, IPL skin rejuvenation therapy is a proven and secure method for addressing skin concerns caused by aging or by extended sun exposure and aging, including pigmentation, "age spots", "spider veins", wrinkles, and loose skin texture.
Meanwhile CO2 laser is a highly effective treatment option for various skin concerns, such as wrinkles, photodamage, scars, warts, and linear epidermal nevi. This process involves targeted pulses of laser light to gently remove thin layers of skin, resulting in significant skin rejuvenation with minimal heat damage to surrounding tissues.
Lasers for Permanent Hair Removal
The gold standard for permanent hair removal is diode lasers. Utilizing the concept of selective photothermolysis (SPTL), diode lasers precisely target chromophores in the skin, such as melanin or blood, causing minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
Are you wondering if diode laser hair removal is permanent? Generally speaking yes diode laser hair removal can effectively provide permanent results. But as some hair may not be in a growth phase at the same time, follow-up treatments may be necessary to ensure complete and lasting hair removal.
Lasers for Removal of Tattoos and other Pigmentations
ND YAG Q switched nanosecond lasers and picosecond lasers are both highly capable of eliminating a wide range of pigments, such as unwanted tattoos, spots, moles, freckles, and pigment lesions, with great efficacy.
Nanosecond laser technology, with has pulse width in the nanosecond range, has traditionally been the preferred method for removing tattoos and treating pigmentation. This is due to its ability to produce powerful bursts of energy that effectively break down ink particles and pigmentation, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
While Nanosecond lasers may be highly effective, they have a few limitations. Despite their efficacy, their longer pulse duration can cause heat to build up and impact nearby tissue, resulting in discomfort and recovery time for the patient. Furthermore, optimal results may require multiple treatment sessions and the effectiveness of Nanosecond lasers may be limited for certain ink colors and pigmentation types.
The Picosecond laser technology was created in pursuit of greater precision, efficiency, and patient comfort. With pulse durations in the picosecond range, Picosecond lasers provide a significant improvement in the field of aesthetics.
The Picosecond laser's shorter pulse duration results in remarkable accuracy when targeting pigment particles due to its ability to generate melanosome-specific shockwaves. As a result, treatments are more efficient and significantly reduce the risk of affecting surrounding tissue. This leads to less discomfort and shorter downtime for patients.
