Author: Long Beach laser skin care is provided by the dermatologists at Ulmer Dermatology for a variety of uses. Lasers can be used to remove hair, remove spider veins, diminish brown spots, sun damage, blotchy skin, fine wrinkles and even unwanted hair. Laser treatments are typically performed in-office and have a rapid recovery time, so that you are back to your normal daily activities quickly.
Clear light is a wonderful skin treatment that utilizes Clear100XL laser light. This type of light is used to revitalize the skin if it has acne, scars, sun damage, and hastens post-surgery healing.
Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is used to remove birthmarks, unwanted hair, small veins, freckles, brown spots and broken capillaries. Treatments are very quick, typically lasting twenty minutes, and they are usually repeated for four to six sessions for best results.
Sometimes certain products are used in conjunction with the laser light treatment for specific purposes. Photodynamic Therapy, or PDT, uses a laser light along with topical photosensitizer 5-Amino Levulenic Acid. These two work together to repair damage to the skin caused by sun exposure, acne, and have also been used to remove pre-cancer and early skin-cancer cells from the body.
For those who have jobs that keep you on your feet for long hours, you know that one of the side effects can be that you develop more noticeable veining in the legs. It is possible to use laser light treatments to remove spider and varicose veins without surgery. In three to five sessions, typically using the 1064 nmND: Yag light system, you will see a reduction in appearance of unwanted veins and broken capillaries.
