Lasers are beams of light at different frequencies all converted and intensified in a smaller, denser beam, and depending on its wavelength, it can be absorbed by all sorts of substances like water or the skin’s pigment. Experimentation with lasers have shown that some can simultaneously cut and seal blood vessels or even vaporize tissue altogether, but the most important aspect is that particular types of laser can be used to treat skin conditions like spider veins, hyperpigmentation and acne.
Their usage
Lasers are a favorite in surgeries and have a huge advantage over the scalpel, as it greatly reduces bleeding during the procedure. The laser beam’s heat coagulates the blood of the smaller blood vessels as it cuts and doesn’t trigger twitches in muscle and tissue as a scalpel would. It may also be used for remodeling the skin during a skin tightening procedure, boosting collagen and elastin levels to make the complexion more youthful.
Laser Techniques for Hyperpigmentation
A common blemish of skin complexion are sunspots and agespots. These pigmentation irregularities have been successfully treated with Fraxel, which exposes the problem to fractional technology absorbed only by the water in the skin. Fraxel directs laser light which easily passes through the skin’s top layer and fills the areas of unwanted discolouration with columns of energy, allowing only the excess pigment to be targeted. The treatment shortens the recovery process and accelerates the appearance of desirable results. With the help of fractional lasers, most types of pigmented lesions can now be removed.
Skin Tightening
One of the most common complaints about our people’s aesthetics is the loose skin that modifies our appearance as we age. Skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles start appearing as part of the regular aging process because of the disintegration of collagen.
However, laser energy has the ability to tighten the skin through a series of non-invasive Toronto skin tightening treatment sessions and offer incredible results without any surgical intervention.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly performed treatments involving lasers. It destroys the hair follicles, preventing growth of unwanted hair.
Cosmetic surgery has come a long way these past years through the invention of lasers. They’re being used for a whole plethora of procedures from hair transplants to weight loss treatments and even facelifts. Physicians and specialists find lasers as the perfect solution to all these treatments because they greatly reduce swelling, bruising and pain.
