Many people are born with birthmarks that can mar their appearance. Port wine and hemangiomas are common on the head and neck, making them very visible and difficult to hide. If you have a birthmark that makes you self-conscious of your appearance, there are options for removal. Laser skin treatments performed by an experienced plastic surgeon can fade away these skin discolorations to help improve your self-confidence.

How Does Laser Treatments Remove Birthmarks?

Laser skin treatments are used for many different cosmetic purposes. Depending on the laser used, treatments can help improve skin texture, fade discolorations, stop hair growth and even minimize wrinkles. The lasers used for birthmark removal focus energy that target the blood vessels that cause vascular birthmarks. The blood vessels and darker pigmented skin cells are destroyed, revealing lighter skin with less noticeable discoloration.

Each birthmark may require different types and frequency of laser treatments for removal. It is important to have a plastic surgeon that can customize the treatment to ensure the best results for your birthmark removal procedure. When done correctly, red or pink vascular birthmarks can be faded drastically, making them less conspicuous. The level of removal depends on the birthmark, but most can be lightened, and the skin smoothed with the use of laser skin treatments.

If you have a vascular birthmark that you want removed or faded, contact an experienced facial plastic surgeon that offers laser treatments for port stain or hemangioma removal. The treatments are not painful and can offer effective reduction of red or pink birthmarks. You deserve to feel confident in your appearance and if removing a birthmark can achieve that confidence, it is a worthwhile investment.

Does your skin look older, changing in texture, color and firmness? Your delicate facial skin is one of the first areas to show your age. Sun spots appear, the skin wrinkles and your pores can be more noticeable. The smooth, even skin tone of your youth can seem gone forever. However, you can reverse some of the signs of aging with advanced laser therapy.

Laser therapy can be used to improve the appearance of skin. However, not all laser therapy is the same. Different lasers affect different aspects – what will work well for removing sunspots may not be the best option for wrinkles. To get results for multiple skin issues, dual lasers can be used for excellent results.

2D Laser Treatment

Some cosmetic surgeons offer advanced options for laser treatment, including 2-dimensional therapy. This uses two different laser treatments to obtain exceptional results when treating aging skin. For those with several issues they want to correct like redness, sun spots, wrinkles and visible pores, this can be an optimal solution.

2D laser treatment uses a multi-purposes laser that combats aging with an IPL laser that fine tunes the process. This can help rejuvenate the skin by producing more collagen, tightening the skin to reduce wrinkles and improve texture. The IPL laser can remove redness, fade small veins and sunspots. The combination of lasers can address many different aging skin issues, all in one quick treatment.

2D laser treatment can be done in a short visit to your cosmetic surgeon’s office. There is little to no downtime, so you can undergo this procedure without taking time off from your busy life. Get a more youthful face and feel confident again with a quick trip for laser skin treatment.

6 Uses for Facial Laser Treatments

Comments Off on 6 Uses for Facial Laser Treatments

Medical lasers use light energy to manipulate tissue, whether it is during brain surgery or for cosmetic skin treatments. The advancements in laser technology has improved medical procedures, creating options that were not available before the 1990’s. For facial improvements, laser treatments can offer safe, effective procedures that have little risk or downtime. Here are six popular uses for laser treatments on the face.

  1. Remove birthmarks. Laser treatments are a safe and effective option for fading port wine and strawberry birthmarks on the face.
  2. Hair removal. Laser hair removal can permanently remove the female mustache, chin hairs or facial “fuzz” to eliminate waxing or shaving.
  3. Age spots. Sun damage or age spots can be faded and removed with laser therapy, targeting the darker pigmented skin cells and rejuvenating the skin.
  4. Sagging skin. For sagging or loose skin on the brow, around the eyes or in the neck area, laser skin resurfacing can be used to tighten and improve elasticity for a more youthful appearance.
  5. Fine lines and wrinkles. Laser therapy can help minimize fine lines and wrinkles, stimulating collagen production and smoothing the skin. Laser treatments can also improve the texture of the skin through resurfacing, similar in effect to a chemical peel.
  6. Facial folds. Laser treatments can help reduce folds in the skin from aging, like nasolabial folds and jowl sagging, tightening and smoothing deeper lines and folds.

Laser treatments are quick and usually painless. Some procedures may leave the skin red or flaking, but little downtime is needed after treatments. For effective laser treatments, consult a plastic surgeon that offers skin laser therapy at their practice for the best results.
