Many people work hard to keep their skin smooth and supple with sunscreens, moisturizers, and other products. We believe in optimal skin care because it cleanses, hydrates, and exfoliates the skin to keep it looking healthy.
Unfortunately, these safeguards can only do so much for your skin’s color, texture, and quality. Sunlight exposure, aging, and lifestyle habits can take a toll on your skin, requiring further interventions. the L.A.B. med spa in Southlake, Texas, offers skin laser treatments to rejuvenate your skin by erasing minor flaws for a healthy, youthful complexion.
This treatment uses a high-energy focused beam of light to work on the outer layers of the skin. Laser treatments precisely remove damaged skin tissues while preserving and stimulating the healthy tissues underneath. Furthermore, lasers stimulate collagen production for a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
Several skin laser treatments exist, and we’ll help you choose the one best suited for your skin type, skin issue, and desired results. Skin lasers can either be ablative, non-ablative or even both! Ablative lasers remove the outer skin to pave the way for new skin to heal in its place. How deep this treatment can go depends on the strength of the wavelength.
Non-ablative lasers don’t break up the skin surface. Instead, they heat the skin underneath to encourage collagen production to make your skin smoother and firmer. Although these lasers aren’t as fast-acting as ablative lasers, they have little to no downtime, and the rejuvenating results are long-lasting.
Rejuvenating your skin with lasers lasts about one hour, but it depends on how large the treatment area is. You may also need several sessions spaced within four to eight weeks to achieve full benefits. The procedure is mainly painless, although discomfort depends on the type of laser and treatment area. To be safe, we’ll apply a numbing agent on your skin to ensure you don’t feel any pain during treatment.
If treating your face, your provider can treat the whole face or target certain problematic areas. Downtime after laser treatment is fairly minimal, with many patients experiencing mild pain, bruising, and skin that appears pink at the treatment site. We’ll give you aftercare tips, and home care guidance for a smooth recovery. Additionally, your provider will ask you to keep your skin moist and avoid irritating the skin during healing.
The improvements achieved with laser treatments are noticeable and durable, but they won’t appear overnight. Depending on the laser type used, it may take a few weeks or months to experience the full benefits and achieve the desired results as collagen forms and new skin cells grow.
Laser treatments are effective for wrinkles, fine lines, scars, large pores, pigment and unwanted birthmarks. Laser treatment effectively removes aging signs to give way to fresh, youthful-looking skin.
