Lasers can do a lot of good for a person’s complexion. This post looks at available cosmetic laser treatments and the reasons a growing number of people are visiting cosmetic dermatologists for laser procedures.
The many ailments that can be treated with modern lasers and dermatology
Modern dermatologists can treat a number of ailments with lasers. What types of lasers does a dermatologist use? If you pursue treatment for skin ailments, your dermatologist will use either an intense pulsed-light laser or a fractional CO2 laser.
IPL for short, treatment by intense pulsed-light might sound painful, but you should expect minimal pain. Compared to the rewards of improving one’s self confidence and appearance, any discomfort a person may experience from a laser procedure is easily overcome.
The fractional CO2 laser’s name has a science-fiction ring to it, and in a specialist’s skilled hands, this instrument does work wonders.
Dermatologists use lasers to:
- Remove sun spots from a patient’s skin
- Make acne practically disappear
- “Zap” away a self-conscious person’s acne scars
- Make unsightly body hair vanish
- Reduce redness associated with rosacea
- Laser procedures change people’s lives for the better!
