Uncategorized age spot, cosmetic lasers, dark spot removal, hyperpigmentation, skin care

Age is only a number, but age spots can make you feel older than your years. You might be embarrassed by this type of blemish, but it’s an incredibly common symptom of aging skin. Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center specializes in age spot removal that improves the quality of skin tone and consistency, ultimately giving you more confidence in your look. We want to give you an inside look into how our experienced laser practitioners can redefine your age with assistance from our advanced cosmetic laser treatments.

Understanding why age spots appear on skin

Age spots, sometimes known as brown spots or liver spots, are small pigmented areas on the skin that tend to receive the most sunlight like the hands, face, chest, shoulders and arms. For most people, they begin to emerge in their 40s and 50s, after decades of sun exposure. Age spots form in response to overactive pigment cells, and the symptoms are accelerated by UV light. People who have had numerous instances of sunburn or have fair skin are more susceptible to age spots.

How Laser Lights can treat your age spots

The first step to attaining clear and consistent skin is a complimentary consultation at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center. Our experienced team will be able to determine the correct treatment route to give you the best results possible. With advanced cosmetic lasers, one of our licensed laser technicians will target the age spots, freckles and other brown spots on the skin and deliver a customized and advanced treatment that fades them in just a few sessions.

For areas of hyperpigmentation, patients at Laser Lights have a series of personalized options that they can utilize to fade areas of discoloration. Your consultation will allow our providers to select a combination of the following treatments to accurately accomplish the goal of clear, consistent skin after a thorough skin analysis is completed.

DefenAge^® Skincare uses optimal ingredients to create comprehensive improvement to skin tone and quality. To fade hyperpigmentation, it’s gently applied to the targeted regions of the skin.
Skin Lightener, as the its name suggests, lightens darkened skin without damaging any surrounding tissue. The formula was specifically created for our patients at Laser Lights who need to fade areas of unwanted pigmentation.
Reveal Peel is a chemical that was specifically designed for effective skin renewal. It’s also one of the key steps in the hyperpigmentation treatment process. In addition to the advanced chemical peel, patents will also receive a post-operative peel kit that they can use at home to further refine the positive results.
Reveal Koji Pads are applied by patients at home for between 30 to 60 days to increase skin consistency and natural tone.

Staff Product Pick of the Month: B’Tyli B3 Facial Serum

These days, it seems as if there’s a med spa on every corner, which isn’t surprising considering how much patients love the effective yet minimally-invasive treatments available today. But not all facilities are created equal, and one feature of Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center which sets us apart is that we’re staffed with true experts. All of our providers are licensed and experienced in their specialties, whether they’re Registered Nurses, Medical Aestheticians, or Laser Technicians. Clearly, this means you’re getting a safer and more effective treatment, but another perk is that we can also help you identify the best skin care products for your unique skin and to best complement the treatments you’ve chosen. Each month, our staff chooses one of their favorite products to highlight, and this September, aesthetician Emily has chosen B’Tyli B3 Facial Serum.

What is the B3 Facial Serum by B’Tyli?

The B3 Facial Serum is a topical solution designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (age spots and other dark spots), blotchy complexions, and rosacea. As Emily explains, “It brings your skin back to its natural healthy glow and youthfulness. I actually use it religiously in my nightly regimen to even out my skin tone.” Like other serums, B3 Facial Serum is a lightweight product which is best used before your moisturizer, and in keeping with B’Tyli’s focus on natural skin care, it’s fully organic.

How does B3 Facial Serum work?

This unique product uses a precise balance of effective ingredients to help your skin look its best. As the name suggests, the primary active ingredient is Vitamin B3 (niacinamide), which has been scientifically shown to reduce inflammation, lock moisture into the skin, protect the skin from sun damage, and even out the skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation, blotchiness, and wrinkles. To get the most benefit from the B3 Facial Serum, you should integrate it into both your morning and evening skincare routines.

Who are the best candidates for B3 Facial Serum?

One of the best features of the B3 Facial Serum is that it can be safe and effective for all skin tones and skin types—oily, dry, combination, you name it. It can also be a great complement to your professional skin care treatments. As Emily explains, “This particular product works well with truly any treatment, but I believe it’s paired best with photofacial, CO2, and any laser hair removal on the face for both men and women.”

As any skin care expert will tell you, using the right skincare products at home as part of a consistent routine is a vital step in getting and keeping your skin looking its best. To meet with one of our licensed aestheticians to discuss your skin concerns and form a plan to achieve that healthy glow, schedule a consultation at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center.

Laser Tattoo Removal: Process, Precaution, & Preparation

In The News, Tattoo Removal, Uncategorized advanced laser technology, can tattoos come off, cosmetic laser center atlanta, customized tattoo removal treatment, how does laser tattoo removal work, how to remove tattoos, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, is tattoo removal worth it, laser tattoo removal Atlanta, risks of tattoo removal, safely remove tattoos, tattoo ink and skin pigmentation, tattoo removal Atlanta

Among our many products and services, Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offers FDA-approved laser tattoo removal. Though challenging due to the permanence of tattoos, with our advanced lasers and well-trained staff, tattoo removal of all ink colors is possible after a cosmetic laser consultation.

During a consultation, an experienced professional will discuss with you the important factors that play into the removal of your tattoo, such as when the tattoo was applied and what you can expect during the procedure. Laser tattoo removal uses targeted wavelengths of light in rapid pulses of laser energy to disperse the ink into tiny particles. Once dispersed, ink is absorbed by the body and later disposed due to the body’s natural healing responses.

Here are three tips to having the most success from laser tattoo removal:

Have realistic expectations. Though the majority of patients will benefit from laser tattoo removal, those with fair skin and darker tattoos typically experience the best results because of the high contrast between tattoo ink and skin pigmentation. However, with customized tattoo removal treatment, it is possible to treat virtually any tattoo shade. Even green, the most difficult color to remove, can fade dramatically with our advanced laser technology. The degree of remaining color variations or blemishes depends upon your tattoo size, location, ability to heal, and how or when the tattoo was applied. Also, remember that one treatment is not enough to completely remove your tattoo. Several treatments will be necessary.

Know your risks. As with any medical treatment, laser tattoo removal does carry a small risk of adverse reaction in some patients. There are rare chances of blistering, infection, and scabbing with laser tattoo removal. For those taking Ibuprofen for pain relief, bruising may occur. Additionally, hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation can follow when pre- and post-treatment care is not properly executed. Following the instructions given by your skilled Laser Lights professionals can prevent adverse effects and reduce these risks.

Get prepared. Although laser removal is generally no more uncomfortable than initially receiving the tattoo, we recommend taking an acetaminophen pain reliever or using a numbing cream before treatment. We value the comfort and satisfaction of our patients and advise taking the proper precautions to ensure optimal results and ease during the procedure.

Atlanta Spider Vein Elimination

The providers of Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offer a variety of services to remove or reduce skin imperfections. With over twelve different lasers, we’re able to successfully remove age spots, freckles, birthmarks, and even tattoos to name a few. In fact, our lasers are able to eliminate unsightly spider veins.

Spider veins are those pesky little purple, blue, and red veins that look like a web or tree branches and most often appear on the face and legs. Facial spider veins are often associated with rosacea symptoms. While the true causes of spider veins have not been determined, many have speculated factors like genetics, age, hormones, and obesity might have something to do with their origin. No matter what causes them, they can be frustrating and even embarrassing. Our laser vein removal patients often complain that they do everything to try to cover up spider veins—even if it means wearing long pants all summer.

Fortunately there’s no need to continue hiding your spider veins because we offer spider vein elimination at Laser Lights. Our laser targets the pigment within the blood vessel without harming the skin. The vessels absorb the laser light and gradually disappear. Some patients can achieve the results they’re after in just one spider vein treatment, but depending on the extent of the spider veins, up to three treatments may be necessary for complete removal.

Patients often inquire about the safety of this treatment because eliminating veins sounds a little scary. However, it’s very important to understand spider veins do not function properly, and removing spider veins does not affect the circulatory system’s function. Although many patients are able to engage in normal activities after laser vein removal and side effects are rare, some patients may experience mild redness and sometimes bruising in the treatment area for a few days after treatment. Just like we warn all of our laser patients, it’s also important to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks before laser spider vein treatment as well as a few weeks after to avoid hyperpigmentation.

As with any laser skin treatment, it’s important to find a qualified laser provider to perform your treatment. If you’re interested in spider vein treatment, schedule a consultation today. In addition to laser services, we offer a variety of non-laser treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, Viora Reaction™ skin tightening, and massage therapy. Be sure to view our website to learn more about our other services. We also invite you to connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ for skin care news and updates about our specials.

At Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center, we strive to ensure that every patient has the best treatment experience and best results possible. We provide educational information about our services during pre-treatment consultations as well as aftercare instructions before patients leave our office. If you’ve received a laser treatment or regularly keep up with our blog, you’ve most likely heard it’s important to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks prior to and following laser treatment. With summer quickly approaching, now is the perfect opportunity for laser treatment before summer vacation.

Due to the nature of laser procedures, sun exposure after laser treatment can cause hyperpigmentation. In fact, it’s best not to pursue laser treatment on suntanned skin to avoid pigmentation changes. All laser procedures are different—some skin conditions can be treated in just one session while others require multiple sessions. Laser treatments that require multiple sessions must be spaced four to six weeks apart to allow time for the skin to heal between sessions. Knowing how many sessions are required for each treatment can help you determine the best time to receive your desired laser treatment without risking hyperpigmentation.

Skin conditions like age spots, freckles, melasma and hemangiomas can usually be eliminated in as little as one laser treatment. Depending on the extent of the skin condition, additional treatment sessions may be required for optimal results. Additionally, some spider veins can be eliminated in as little as one treatment, but up to three treatments are often required for complete removal.

Other skin conditions like birthmarks, port wine stains, and laser skin resurfacing (wrinkle reduction) typically require a minimum of three laser treatment sessions for removal and rejuvenation. Birthmarks and port wine stains are usually darker than freckles, lie deeper within the skin’s surface, and are sometimes textured, which makes them more difficult to remove than freckles. Likewise, the number of skin resurfacing sessions necessary to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, melasma, and acne scarring with our CO2 Fractionated Laser or Erbium Laser varies from person to person, but most patients achieve desired results with a series of three treatments.

Laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, and photo rejuvenation therapy typically require at least four to six treatments. Due to the natural hair growth cycle, some hairs are growing while others are in a rest phase. Though some patients see semi-permanent results after their initial treatment, laser hair removal is only effective during the hair growth cycle. The number of sessions required for laser tattoo removal depends on the age, depth, color, size, and placement of the tattoo. Since tattoos often fade overtime older tattoos are easier to remove than newer ones. Likewise, patients who seek photofacial treatment to reduce hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring will see results in one treatment, but multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal rejuvenation of the face, chest, arms, and hands.

We have over twelve different lasers to treat a variety of skin conditions and skin types at Laser Lights. As you can see, many treatment requirements vary from patient to patient. Our licensed estheticians can give you a better idea of how many sessions you will need after a pre-treatment consultation. Also keep in mind that if you usually wear protective clothing or are often indoors during the summer, you shouldn’t have to worry about hyperpigmentation. However, if you do have to go out in the sun after laser treatment be sure to wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen, cover the treatment area, and don’t stay out longer than you must.
