The world of skincare has witnessed many developments over the years, contributing to the launch of a large number of techniques over time. Continuous research and analysis of skin problems, the available solutions, and the techniques available for treatment allow for the improvement of options each time, and consequently, the enhancement of the results that can be achieved.
Thus, we have begun to notice that every aesthetic problem can be addressed with a variety of solutions, depending on its severity, causes, and impact on the skin. If we focus more on the available technological options, we notice that laser technologies consistently take the lead, whether we are discussing acne issues, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, or others.
Today, we are discussing the benefits of facial laser treatments, specifically the advantages that laser technologies offer for facial skin and the treatment of its issues. We will also address the potential damages or side effects when choosing to use this type of technology.
How does a facial laser work?
Laser techniques use laser beams to penetrate the skin layers at various levels and precisely target specific areas to address their issues. Laser stands out for its ability to positively affect the skin from various aspects, meaning its capability to treat multiple issues and achieve a wide range of benefits.
In general, we distinguish between ablative laser techniques and non-ablative laser techniques. Excisional techniques are those that damage a layer of skin to completely remove it, allowing the skin to renew itself. As for non-invasive techniques, they are methods that work without removing or excising a layer of skin; instead, they focus on targeting and treating the specific area.
Benefits of facial laser.
As we always talk about, laser techniques can be used to treat a large number of skin issues.
1. Hair removal: Laser techniques are used to get rid of hair in the facial area, to look more beautiful and smoother. Laser hair removal techniques have evolved significantly, ensuring better results without any pain during the sessions.
2. Skin peeling: Some laser treatments allow for skin peeling, such as fractional laser technology or carbon laser technology, ensuring its renewal by removing the outer layer and stimulating its internal functions, such as collagen and elastin production for increased elasticity, combating acne, and reducing the appearance of scars.
3. Skin tightening: Some laser techniques are dedicated to combating aging, specifically to conceal the signs of aging on the skin’s surface. The techniques work in different ways, targeting small particles of skin to accelerate the cell renewal process or using heat to tighten tissues and stimulate collagen production within the skin.
4. Skin lightening and treating pigmentation: Laser has also proven effective in improving skin tone and eliminating spots, pigmentation, and scars, or even reducing their appearance.
What are the potential harms or side effects?
– Causing damage to the eye area, therefore it is essential to wear a mask or special glasses when undergoing any technique that uses laser beams.
– The appearance of darker or lighter spots than the natural skin color, but they usually fade within days or weeks after the session.
– Burns, and therefore it is essential to choose the appropriate and reliable clinic and specialist.
– Redness, a result of skin irritation.
– Itching, which is a side effect experienced by some.
– The appearance of some flakes on the surface of the skin.
