The desire to improve our looks is nothing new. We have turned to makeup, creams, lotions and the surgical knife to polish, smooth and clear up problem areas. But in recent years a new solution has arrived. Cosmetic laser treatments are the newest way to remove unwanted hair, erase scars and wrinkles, remove tattoos and age spots, and smooth away cellulite. Cosmetic laser treatments are simple procedures that lead to amazing results. They use the power of light and energy to safely solve problems with our appearance. A laser emits an intense light that targets cells of a specific area. The light is absorbed and becomes a heat that destroys the targeted cells only, protecting the surrounding tissue. The process usually involves multiple sessions in order to safely and relatively painlessly improve the skin's appearance. There are many different lasers used for cosmetic procedures and one of the safest and most efficient is the Syneron Laser. Some treatments are affected by skin color and type. The Syneron Laser has enhanced penetration combined with minimal absorption which makes it the perfect tool for all skin types to achieve confidence without negative side effects. The number of men and women benefiting from these cosmetic treatments continues to grow. Commonly known for hair removal, laser use has expanded to skin resurfacing, vein removal and elimination of pigment issues, such as age spots and tattoos. The newest treatment available is for cellulite reduction. The laser can replace many liposuction procedures. The laser breaks down the fat deposits under the skin's surface. The melted fat is then absorbed into the body, smoothing away the dimpled appearance of the cellulite. The benefits of this treatment are the reason it has become so popular. It is much less painful than traditional liposuction and has a much shorter recovery time. In fact, cosmetic laser treatments in general cause less discomfort and side effects and result in very little down time. The treatments are relatively quick, easily fitting into any schedule. Cosmetic laser treatments are readily available, but not right for everyone. Issues such as skin color, hair color, skin sensitivity and pain tolerance all need to be considered. The doctor or technician will discuss these factors with you before beginning any procedure. You will also discuss how many sessions will be necessary and any steps to take before and after the treatment. For instance, for laser hair removal, you will be told to shave, not tweeze or wax, for at least two weeks. If there is concern about sensitivity or pain, a numbing cream can be offered to use before the treatment. After the treatments, regardless of type, you will be required to limit sun exposure and possibly use an antibiotic to prevent any infection. All of these steps come together to make for a safe, efficient and rather simple procedure. Laser treatments offer a more permanent solution to many cosmetic concerns. The benefits go beyond smoother skin to include reassurance and confidence.
