Lasers have been used to treat various skin conditions. Throughout time, lasers have improved and evolved. As one of the top practitioners, our medical staff uses a laser that can treat any skin type and condition. In the past, laser skin treatments were only effective on light skin tones. However, advances in technology have resulted to lasers that can also treat darker skin tones.

What Can Be Treated with Lasers?

Laser skin treatments are one of the most effective ways to reduce dark spots, facial veins, wrinkles, fine lines, and birthmarks. It is also used to get rid of broken blood vessels and smooth scars. Laser skin treatments are also utilized to remove unwanted hair and in the treatment of chronic skin conditions that include rosacea. We make sure that our patients get the best possible treatment to improve and accentuate their natural beauty.

Laser skin treatments are also used for body contouring and skin tightening. It can reduce cellulite in the body. As we get older, the skin becomes loose and will sag. Laser skin treatments can tighten the skin, and make it firm once again.

Types of Laser Skin Treatments

There are various types of laser skin treatments. Each one of them is used to treat a specific skin condition. Some lasers are used to target vascular lesions and red spots, while there are other lasers that target uneven skin and brown spots. There are some laser systems that can stimulate the production of collagen and tighten the dermis. After the laser treatment session, the skin is plumper, firmer, and smoother. Ablative lasers generate microscopic injuries on the skin that will stimulate collagen production, and lead to anti-aging results. On the other hand, non-ablative lasers use light to penetrate the skin but don’t damage it. This type of treatment requires several sessions. However, it is an outpatient procedure with no recovery time.
