Lasers How do they work?
 How
do lasers work?
Laser light is absorbed by water or dark pigments in
our body's tissues (such as melanin in the skin and
hemoglobin in the blood) and converted to heat. This
destroys the unwanted pigment, hair, vein, etc. without
damaging nearby areas. Lasers can also be used to gently
stimulate cells and activate them to do things like
create new collagen, release stored fat, speed up wound
healing and prevent scars from forming.
What are the benefits of lasers over other treatment
methods?
By using light, lasers can avoid breaking the skin,
making treatments noninvasive. Lasers offer many other
advantages over traditional techniques, including "bloodless"
surgery, reduced risk of infection, less scarring, high
precision, and faster treatment and recovery time.
Who is a candidate for laser treatment?
Men and women of all skin types, colors and tones can
benefit from laser treatment.
What conditions can be treated with laser therapy?
A variety of functional and cosmetic skin problems can
be treated with lasers. Laser treatments can reduce
the appearance of sun damage, scars, stretch marks,
wrinkles, unwanted hair, fine lines, vascular lesions
(birthmarks, spider veins, varicose veins and redness
on the face) and uneven pigmentation.
Are there different kinds of lasers?
Yes. Lasers are often specialized to handle a particular
type of problem. There is no single "cure-all"
laser capable of correcting all problems. This is why
it so important seek out an office that offers all of
the best technology for your specific needs and why
we invest in all of the required top-of-the-line technology
to provide the optimal customized treatments and get
the very best results!

Does laser treatment hurt?
The sensations vary depending upon the procedure, the
technology used, the wavelengths and the energy settings.
Many procedures are completely painless. All are tolerable.
Many people describe the laser as feeling like the snap
of a rubber band on the skin. We utilize all of the
most efficient and most comfortable treatment systems.
We ice which maximizes patient comfort by chilling the
treatment area before, during and after the procedure.
What is the recovery like?
Most patients return to normal activities on the same
day as their treatment. The area that is treated with
the laser may be reddened, bruised or swollen for an
hour or a few days in the case of vein removal, but
camouflage cosmetics are usually able to conceal any
evidence of treatment. Most treatments show little or
no sign that you had anything done at all. A mild reddening
for 1-3 hours is the most common after-effect.
Any post-treatment discomfort can usually be relieved
with extra-strength Tylenol. . A topical antibiotic
such as Bacitracin or hydrocortisone cream may also
be recommended and supplied to you following certain
treatments.
