The investment in your skin is always worthwhile. Laser treatments offer an effective, highly specialized method of achieving this.

Laser treatments allow your doctor to create fine adjustments to the surface of the skin. There’s very little discomfort and, most of the time, no risk. Instead of heat, laser treatment uses focused light energy to treat a variety of skin conditions. If you have areas of your skin that you simply don’t like or that cause irritation, laser therapy can be an effective, safe way to create substantial change.

ICLS utilizes the most advanced laser technologies available today. Through our applications, we help patients have smooth, youthful-looking skin that’s even-toned and stunning. If your skin tone isn’t what you want it to be or you have acne scars from your youth, laser therapy is a strategy you may be able to use to see remarkable improvement.

Why choose this option? If you are a candidate for laser treatment, it can provide you with numerous benefits. Take a look at these seven benefits that come from using minimally invasive, customizable care and proven, effective, and safe results.

1. Skin Rejuvenation and Texture Improvement

Treatment: NanoLaserPeel, StarWalker Laser Treatment

NanoLaserPeel or StarWalker Laser Treatment is one of the best strategies for improving skin texture. Laser treatments can rejuvenate your skin, improving overall texture and skin tone. These treatments stimulate collagen production within the skin, the natural process that helps to plump up skin cells to create a more youthful appearance. They also work to remove damaged skin cells, getting rid of damaged areas and scarring. This typically results in smoother and fresher-looking skin.

  • Treat fine lines
  • Eliminate sun-damaged areas
  • Even out uneven skin texture for a smooth look
  • Create more youthful-looking, vibrant skin

Both methods use a laser beam to change the exterior structure and outer skin layer, creating improved results. If you want a youthful complexion, this is where you can start.

2. Effective Hair Removal

Treatment: Laser Hair Removal

Many people want a way to eliminate unwanted hair that doesn’t require time spent shaving or waxing. Laser hair removal is one of the most well-known and respected methods of removing unwanted hair. To work, it targets the hair follicles with precision, protecting the surrounding tissue but creating just enough damage to the follicle to make unwanted hair impossible to grow back. Over time, this procedure can also help to create smooth and hair-free skin.

Laser energy for hair removal is a very safe method. It is minimally invasive and can be used on various areas of the body, including facial hair, legs, and more.

3. Even Skin Tone and Pigmentation Correction

Treatment: Broadband Light Therapy (BBL), Laser Toning, StarWalker Laser Treatment

One of the ways lasers can work well is by treating skin discoloration. Without doing any damage to the underlying skin, these three treatments work to modify the color and pigmentation of the outer layer. If you have sunspots, age spots, or melasma, laser therapy can create more even tones in the treatment area.

The continuous light beams do not damage the actual surface of the skin. However, the laser energy works to repair sun damaged skin, dark skin patches, and areas of other discoloration by stimulating the natural healing process. Those patches of brown skin can fade away.

All three of these methods, Broadband Light Therapy (BBL), Laser Toning, and StarWalker Laser Treatment, work in a similar fashion to manage pigmentation and discoloration spots effectively without leaving any damage. If you have irregular skin tone for any reason, this option can be beneficial.

4. Scar and Wrinkle Improvement

Treatment: Skin Resurfacing, StarWalker Laser Treatment

Skin resurfacing is another layer of added treatment. How does skin resurfacing work? Laser resurfacing treatments are highly effective at reducing the appearance of scars. They remove the very outer layer of the skin, stimulating your skin’s ability to heal. As the skin heals, natural, healthy cells replace the damaged areas. By removing the damaged outer layers and encouraging new collagen growth, lasers can create smooth, beautifully youthful looking skin that’s often firmer.

If you have areas with scars, such sun damaged skin patches, scars from wounds, or acne scars, laser skin resurfacing works to remove that damage. By minimizing scars, skin resurfacing works to address the signs of aging, including fine lines. If you have deeper wrinkles, the short pulsed light energy used during this process can significantly reduce even deeper wrinkles and lines.

5. Tattoo Removal

Treatment: Enlighten, YAG, Ruby, Accolade, Alexandrite

Perhaps you are ready to take back your skin through tattoo removal. Laser skin can help with this process, carefully and effectively removing irregular skin discoloration and stimulating the natural production of healthy, new skin. This process works by breaking down the tattoo pigments in the skin.

One option for this is the StarWalker laser. It works by creating very precise pulses of light energy that target the specific ink particles in your skin. Over several treatments, this method can successfully cause tattoos to fade away.

Keep in mind this is a very safe method. With no or minimal heat damage to the outer layer of the skin, tattoo removal, like laser skin resurfacing, is safe and effective without being invasive.

6. Minimal Downtime with Maximum Results

Treatments: NanoLaserPeel, Broadband Light Therapy (BBL), Laser Toning

Utilizing laser treatments offers many benefits. Consider how NanoLaserPeel®, BBL, and Laser Toning can target very specific areas, creating significant improvement, including reducing fine lines, treating enlarged oil glands, and tackling deep wrinkles, with minimal or even no recovery time. The results are fantastic and only get better over time.

These treatments are ideal for those who want a treatment that improves their skin without having to take time out of their day for more invasive procedures. There’s no significant disruption to your daily routine using any of these treatments. At the same time, you can have skin tones you love or treat sagging skin without any inconvenience. It’s all highly effective. Even a more invasive procedure like a laser peel will require limited downtime.

7. Customizable for Various Skin Issues

Treatment: Broadband Light Therapy (BBL), Laser Toning, StarWalker Laser Treatment

As you consider any of these or other laser treatments, know that they are highly customizable. This is one of the major advantages of using laser treatment over other procedures. Your doctor can adjust the laser to create a very specific result. This includes targeting very specific skin concerns, such as tightening skin where there are areas of sagging skin or removing the signs of broken capillaries and spider veins from the surface.

These fractional lasers can be used to target specific levels of concern, including pigmentation, texture, and tightening. They can be helpful on all skin types and for most skin issues, too.

The treatments offered at ICLS, such as BBL and StarWalker, can be tailored to individual needs, providing solutions for a wide range of skin concerns. When you meet with our team, we’ll offer a variety of options that could help you, from laser skin resurfacing to concentrated pulsating beams that target skin cancer areas or treat wrinkles.

FAQs

How do Laser Treatments Improve Skin Texture?

Laser treatments are highly effective at improving skin texture. To do this, they stimulate collagen growth, the natural production of material that plumps skin and gives it its naturally youthful look. Collagen fibres are critical to youthful looking skin, but new collagen fibres don’t occur without stimulation as you get older.

Are Laser Treatments Painful?

No, laser treatment is not painful. In procedures such as erbium laser resurfacing or for the treatment of moderately deep lines, some procedures may cause discomfort, but we take the necessary precautions to subside any discomfort. If you feel any pain, let your doctor know.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for Hair Removal or Pigmentation Correction?

Many factors play a role in how many treatments you will need in the treated areas. Typically, it is necessary to have 2 to 6 procedures for hair removal or pigmentation correction to result in improved overall results.
