We’re breaking our sweaters out of their out-of-season storage, dusting off our pumpkin décor, and gearing up for a few holiday-packed months ahead. That means it’s fall, and around Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, fall is also known as “laser season.” Because laser treatments require you to shield your skin from the sun, the cooler weather of fall and winter make this time of the year a perfect time to get the cosmetic laser treatments that have been on your wish list this year.

How can laser treatments give your appearance a boost this fall? Take a look at these nine popular ways you can take advantage of laser season.

Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As common as fine lines and wrinkles are, you can effectively reduce or remove them with cosmetic laser treatments. The laser triggers your body’s collagen production, and collagen is the skin-firming protein that makes young skin naturally firm and smooth. Fractionated CO₂ laser skin resurfacing is the most effective way to treat these pesky signs of aging.

Lighten and Remove Age Spots

Age spots, unwanted freckles, and other brown spots on your skin come from localized areas of excess pigment in your skin. This pigment is usually the result of sun damage, but targeted age spot removal and brown spot removal will break down those excess pigments for a clearer complexion. You can also reduce these types of spots with laser treatments that treat other cosmetic issues at the same time, like fractionated laser skin resurfacing or photo rejuvenation.

Clear Away Unwanted Hair

Tired of endless shaving or waxing to get rid of unwanted hair? Laser hair removal produces significantly longer-lasting results by affecting your hair follicles, so they don’t produce hair as quickly as they used to or they stop producing hair altogether.

Reduce or Remove Unwanted Birthmarks

Some people cherish their birthmarks but if you’d prefer to bid yours adieu, lasers can help. This is true for brown birthmarks, often called café au lait birthmarks, and red or pink birthmarks (also called vascular birthmarks) like port wine stains.

Minimize Facial Redness

Persistent facial redness or rosacea happens because of enlarged blood vessels below your facial skin. Laser rosacea treatments, fortunately, can target and reduce those blood vessels for a more consistent complexion.

Treat Facial Veins and Spider Veins

Facial veins and spider veins in the legs are extremely common but they aren’t a look that many people love. Luckily, laser spider vein treatments for the face and legs can target and block off those stubborn veins, allowing your body to naturally remove them.

Reduce Scars

When your body is repairing a wound or surgical incision, it doesn’t take the time to make sure the scar tissue is smooth and even. Cosmetic laser treatments will help after the fact by breaking up existing scar tissue and triggering your body’s ability to produce newer, smoother scar tissue, making your scars less visible.

Remove Unwanted Tattoos

Tattoos are meant to last forever but sometimes our opinions and tastes change. If you want to get rid of an old tattoo or make room for a new one, laser tattoo removal is an effective way to make that happen. The laser breaks up the ink particles so your body can clear them away.

Reduce Unwanted Fat (Sort Of)

SculpSure® non-surgical fat reduction doesn’t technically use lasers but it uses similar technology. The procedure sends targeted warmth into an area you want to slim down, and that warmth damages the fat cells so your body can remove them in its waste disposal process.

If any of the aesthetic goals above struck a chord with you, this fall is the perfect time to put to take advantage of all that lasers have to offer.

Your Last Summer of Hiding Spider Veins

We empathize with the unpleasant embarrassment of having to hide your spider veins under long pants and skirts, scrambling for a towel at the pool and wishing you could cool off in a bathing suit or pair of shorts. The team at Laser Lights Cosmetic and Anti-Aging Center wants to help make this your last summer of stressing over the best ways to camouflage your unsightly spider veins. Instead, we want to help you get rid of them for good.

Spider veins are small, thin blood vessels that appear just beneath the skin and serve no purpose. Although spider veins that pop up on the legs and face are not detrimental to your health, they are a common cause of cosmetic concern due to their bluish or reddish color, tree or spider web like shape, and often large surface area that makes them difficult to cover. While you may feel alone in your struggle, the truth is that an estimated 30-60% of all people in the U.S. are affected by spider veins in some way.

We treat spider veins using a specialized FDA approved medical grade laser that targets these unwanted blood vessels, safe to address all skin types for both spider veins on the face and legs. During the actual laser vein removal treatment, laser light is adjusted to hone in on the pigment of visible veins. The laser targets the veins, causing them to break up within the body before the immune system begins to dispose of them naturally. In most cases, the laser wavelength does not target the surrounding tissue’s pigment. This treatment is non-invasive and leaves skin unscathed.

Most patients can immediately return to their daily routine after treatment. Although rare, mild side effects include a minor reddish appearance at treatment site that may occur for a few days after the procedure. For complete spider vein elimination, most patients typically need just one to three treatments; though that depends on each individual’s unique needs to be discussed at an initial consultation.

Although it’s still winter, sunshine and spring break are following close behind. Winter weather can leave many of us feeling that our skin is lackluster. Staying warm with sweaters and jeans for months at a time can also cause us to neglect our skin.

At Laser Lights, we want to you to look your best for whatever your spring break plans might entail. Now is a great time to take advantage of several cosmetic and laser procedures. Treatments such as laser hair removal, spider vein elimination, Viora skin firming, and laser skin resurfacing usually require multiple sessions to acquire optimal results. Starting treatments now can have your skin feeling and looking great in time to pull out the shorts and swimsuits.

Laser hair removal is a popular treatment for both men and women wanting to eliminate unwanted body and facial hair. Since the hair removal process is only effective during the early growing cycle, patients usually need up to 6 visits for complete hair removal. Our FDA-approved medical grade lasers can safely treat almost any area of the body; popular areas for hair removal include the legs, underarms, arms, face, chest and bikini.

You shouldn’t feel self-conscious this spring because of unsightly facial or leg veins. Our laser treatment delivers laser energy to the vein so that the body naturally absorbs the unsightly vessels. This safe procedure requires between one to three sessions and patients benefit from no downtime.

If you are looking to show-off a healthier looking face with a youthful glow, you may be interested in CO2 laser resurfacing. This fractionated laser can address signs of aging including sun spots and wrinkles as well as smooth out acne scars e and hyperpigmentation. Since this procedure eliminates old, damaged skin to reveal new, healthy skin, patients can expect to feel effects similar to sunburn (depending on the depth of treatment required). Since it’s important to avoid direct sunlight for several days after treatment, winter is a great time for laser resurfacing as you spend more time indoors.

If you are looking to reduce cellulite and tighten loose skin, let Viora Reaction™ non-invasive technology address those concerns. This advanced technology uses radio frequency to reduce cellulite and promote collagen production. Most patients begin to notice results after one treatment, but typically receive multiple treatments for optimal results.

It’s almost September; as the weather begins to cool down, we’ll see more pants and leggings and fewer shorts and skirts. Although you can use clothing to cover up spider veins on your legs, unsightly blood vessels on your face are much more difficult to hide.

These enlarged veins pose no functional concern, but appear close to the surface of the skin often showing up as a reddish or bluish color. At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center many patients often ask if facial spider veins can be safely treated. As a member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) our office is committed to safety and clinical care in the field of medical lasers. Our experienced staff treats each patient with the highest standard of care using only medical grade lasers rather than injections or incisions.

Most patients will require one to three treatments for elimination of spider veins. During your pre-treatment consultation, we will be able to provide you with a more specific estimate for your particular needs. Patients also frequently ask what increases their chances of developing spider veins. If you spent a lot of time in the sun this summer you may be more likely to develop facial spider veins. Other factors that may cause spider veins include age, pregnancy, hormones, and obesity.

Women are not the only ones who suffer from spider veins. According to the U.S. Department of Health, about 40 to 45 percent of men in the U.S. suffer from some type of vein problem.
