We all want a glowing complexion, and there’s more than one approach to it! Eating healthy, sleeping, and skincare regimens are certainly important pieces, but it’s great to know about other options to help – laser skincare treatments being one of them!
Benefits of Laser Skincare Treatments
Recently there have been changes to non-surgical skincare treatments. We are fortunate to be able to see this world evolving and making it easier to care for your skin! Laser treatments have been proven safe and effective for improving skin texture and tightness.
Some treatments can help improve the appearance of sunspots, uneven pigmentation, red spots, and brown spots. We have been sampling treatments from Embody Medspa in North Reading, MA, and testing their new skincare line, Phi Skincare, created by the owner and founder.
Ablative & Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing
According to the Mayo Clinic, the basic difference between ablative and non-ablative treatments is that ablative lasers remove the top layer of skin, while non-ablative lasers work by heating up the underlying skin tissues (without harming the surface) so that your body will produce new collagen.
You have probably heard (or tried!) microneedling. Well, radiofrequency microneedling and the Affirm non-ablative laser are very similar. The radiofrequency microneedling uses tiny needles and radiofrequency to rejuvenate facial skin, while the fractionated laser penetrated through the skin making microscopic holes. Both are great options to improve the look and feel of your skin.
Other Laser Skincare Treatments
There are other types of laser treatments to consider. Embody Medspa offers Lumecca IPL Photofacials. This facial treatment is safe and effective for all skin types. This breakthrough technology is the most powerful and intense pulsed light (IPL) improves redness, spider veins, brown spots, sun damage, rosacea, and skin discoloration. You will begin to see a difference after the first few sessions, but several sessions will lead to better results depending on the needs of your skin.
Another type of laser treatment is the Morpheus8 Skin Resurfacing. Morpheus 8 is a device that is designed to combine micro-needling and radiofrequency to achieve deep fractional remodeling. The Morpheus 8 doesn’t just address superficial tissue; it directs energy toward the adipose fat that is notorious for creating jowls, bra rolls, and more. It is normal for patients to have a little redness and bruising for 3-5 days, but there is little to no downtime.
HALO Laster Treatments is a new treatment everyone is talking about! According to the manufacturers, Sciton HALO is the world’s only Hybrid Fractional Laser that delivers a non-ablative and an ablative wavelength simultaneously to the same microscopic treatment zone. As Sciton’s premier technology, HALO combines these two wavelengths to create a strong synergistic effect, resulting in unmatched improvement in the visible signs of skin aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, the appearance of pores, and acne scars. Very exciting!
In Conclusion
Fall and winter are the perfect time to seek out laser treatments. With your skin out of the sun and a day or two to recover can make a big difference. Like with botox, it is important to find a trusted provider and research reputable spas near you.
