Light energy plays a vital role in many aspects of our lives, including harnessing solar power for renewable energy. However, one aspect that’s often overlooked is the lasting benefits light energy offers for the skin! This should be a priority discussion, since this type of energy can target damaged skin cells, beautifying them in the process, while leaving healthy skin cells unaffected. Yes, it’s true, light energy can reverse the signs of aging by improving skin tone and texture; talk about skin rejuvenation! What about fine lines and wrinkles? Well, if your skin tone and texture improves, that means your fine lines and wrinkles diminish! After-all, skin rejuvenation is all about smoothing out the skin and achieving that youthful vigor. Aren’t we all aiming to attain stronger, healthier, and younger bodies and minds?
The Power of Laser Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation
It’s all about unity and maintaining a work-life balance. However, in order to balance your preventative skin care regimen, sometimes you need monthly treatments to heal skin concerns; which brings me to the great news we would like to share with you! Restoring your skin to its youthful appearance is possible with modern laser treatments. Laser treatments for the face offers some of the most advanced and effective methods for achieving youthful, glowing skin! Today, we are going to delve deeper into the aging process, how laser treatments work, types of lasers, benefits, expectations, and results. So, let’s get ready to talk about laser therapy and its long-lasting benefits for your skin!
Understanding the Aging Process
Have you been noticing gray hairs, wrinkles around your eyes, and age spots on your skin? If so, you are experiencing the beautiful side effects of aging. While aging is something to be proud of, it can also induce anxiety because of the loss of cognitive functioning, mobility, health, and glowing skin. While there are a multitude of factors that influence skin aging, you still have a degree of control over how quickly your skin ages. Several factors can affect your skin, including:
- Exposure to the sun.
- Lifestyle.
- Diet.
- Pollution.
- Smoking.
- Stress.
- Facial movement.
- Sleep position.
Believe it or not even gravity can affect the skin! Your skin might become rougher or lose elasticity, or appear more transparent and bruise easily. Your skin may also become fragile and even develop lesions. Fortunately, by becoming more aware and less nervous about the aging process, you can make healthy lifestyle choices like laser therapy!
How Laser Treatments Can Reverse the Signs of Aging
There are many different kinds of lasers in the med spa world. Each laser is known to target specific kinds of skin concerns. These lasers are well known for healing pigmentation issues, wrinkles, acne scars, aging spots, bruising, melasma, ingrown hairs, hyper-hydrosis, and the list goes on! So, how does this type of therapy work? Laser therapy uses light energy to improve skin texture, tone, and color. The short pulsating beams of light repair and regenerate damaged skin. Depending on the type of laser you and your dermatologist use, the treatment may focus more on the outer layers or the inner layers of your skin. But, no matter the treatment you pick, laser/light therapy is non-toxic and non-invasive. I’m ready! Are you?
Tackling Skin Elasticity and Firmness with Laser Therapy
Maybe your main concern has been your skin becoming slack, or less elastic, causing your skin to hang loosely. Fear no more! Some laser treatments penetrate into deeper layers of skin enhancing collagen production and resurfacing your skin by offering a smoother texture and brighter tone. This is ideal for improving skin elasticity and firmness.
Perhaps you are purely concerned about sun damage on your skin’s surface. You’ll be relieved to hear that laser treatments can remove outer layers of damaged skin in order to expose a smoother, more youthful glow! Also, pigmentation correction is another main skin concern healed through laser therapy. In more detail, if aging spots and uneven skin tone are on your radar, laser treatment is an impeccable solution!
Types of Laser Treatments for Skin Rejuvenation
There are a few different types of laser treatments including ablative, non-ablative, and fractional treatments. They all have different approaches to healing the skin. Imagine a high-powered beam of light removing your aged outer layers of skin or damaged skin. After your appointment, you look in the mirror and notice a natural glow with a firmer appearance, one lacking deep wrinkles and scars. Your skin texture and tone appears restored! What we are referring to is an ablative laser treatment. While it is slightly more intrusive than a non-ablative laser treatment, your skin will exclaim “thank you” later, for the long-lasting benefits.
Exploring Non-Ablative and Fractional Laser Treatments
If you choose the non-ablative route, these types of lasers will stimulate collagen production without damaging the surface of your skin. Two types of lasers that promote collagen production include the Lutronic LaseMd and the Aerolase Neo Elite. LaseMD and Aerolase laser treatments penetrate deep layers of skin augmenting collagen production while focusing on scars, hyper-pigmentation, and wrinkles. You will leave your appointment more vibrant than ever! Now, the Lutronic Infini is an example of a fractional skin restoration tool. This means that the device focuses on small areas of skin yielding a smoother and firmer complexion over time!
Benefits of Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Think of laser treatments as solutions that heal the root of the problem. Unlike topical treatments and injectables, LED light therapy utilizes non-toxic/non-invasive energy from this earth to solve your concerns. Some topical treatments contain harmful ingredients that could cause adverse skin reactions and injectables are packaged with risky outcomes. Why take a risk with your health and beauty when you have more natural options to choose from? Laser treatments are not only safer, but more convenient. There is little to no downtime, after procedures, to resume normal activities. How about that? No worries if you have a busy schedule, because once your treatment is complete, you will be on your way to enjoy the day! Remember, your skin is unique to you. We will work together to tailor the right laser treatment to your specific skin care needs.
What to Expect from a Laser Treatment Session
If you are ready to learn more about laser treatments, your best bet is to plan a consultation appointment with a local professional. During this discussion with a specialist, your skincare needs will be addressed along with the appropriate treatment plan.
In order to give you more insight into a typical skin rejuvenation session, I’ll touch on some items you should expect. First and foremost, you’ll be greeted with welcoming energy and confidence. This is because the people in this profession love transforming skin! Secondly, you’ll be comforted with the proper furniture and a relaxing position as they administer initial steps to the process; cleaning/prepping your face.
The Lutronic Infini is a fractional skin restoration tool that we mentioned earlier. It can assist with enlarged pores, wrinkles, acne, pigmentation concerns, and hyper-hydrosis. If this was the treatment you chose, you may feel a mild stinging sensation as your dermis is penetrated with Radiofrequency electrical energy. Since your recovery will involve absolutely no downtime, you can resume your daily activities as usual. However, with this specific treatment, they might forewarn you that your skin will experience a little redness for the first day.
This is an example of one treatment in a nutshell. All of the treatments are similar but vary in the types of preparation, “sensations to the skin”, and the protocol to follow after the procedure.
Realistic Expectations and Results
Will my results look like my friends’ results? Great question! Remember, everybody has unique skin care needs according to the different concerns people have. While you may have similar results like brighter and firmer skin, the elasticity and glow will be unique to you. Most people who choose laser therapy notice a difference after just a couple of sessions, helping to reverse the signs of aging. Compare your past skin to your skin after the treatments, not your friends’ skin! Remember, not only will you be glowing more but you’ll be looking younger in no time!
