Environmental factors such as smoking, sun damage, and stress can cause premature aging. Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offers laser skin resurfacing treatments to turn back the hands of time and provide patients with a more youthful appearance. Laser skin resurfacing is great for both men and women looking to rejuvenate their skin without the expense of surgical facial procedures. Laser Treatment

Our medical grade, FDA-approved laser technologies can help address fine lines and wrinkles on the face as well as even out skin tone and irregularities. Our experienced laser technicians use the CO2 fractionated laser technology to target specific areas of the face, allowing for a completely customizable treatment for your skincare needs. This fractionated technology can penetrate deeper layers of the skin by creating tiny wounds through laser columns, promoting collagen production through the body’s natural healing process.

Patients with superficial skin conditions such as mild wrinkles and brown spots may benefit from Erbium laser resurfacing. As an added benefit, this surface-level laser can treat the hands, neck, or chest in addition to the face. This procedure is milder than fractionated resurfacing, reducing recovery time.

We also offer a micro-laser peel also known as the “weekend” peel for patients with minor imperfections, which allows for a short recovery period and minimal post-treatment care.

During a pre-treatment skin analysis, our laser technicians will identify if you are a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing. As old skin is removed and new skin is revealed, patients can expect to feel a slight sunburn sensation after treatment. It’s important to avoid sunlight for at least a week after treatment.

To schedule a laser skin resurfacing appointment, please call our office today. Be sure to connect with Laser Lights on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ for the latest cosmetic laser specials and news.

Managing Rosacea in the Winter Months

Rosacea can be a difficult skin condition to live with. Individualized to each person, rosacea can appear in different ways, and flare ups are caused by different triggers for each individual. Most common in fair-skinned individuals ages 30-50, rosacea appears most often in women (though is usually more severe when it does appear in men).

Winter months can be especially trying on those with rosacea. Individuals with trigger factors related to weather or temperature changes can experience flare-ups during the cooler times. Many people (even those who don’t suffer from rosacea) forget to wear a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen during the winter months. Because the lower temperatures aren’t making us sweat, we often forget how long we’ve been outdoors or think we don’t need sunscreen. This is especially important for individuals with rosacea because sun exposure can be a trigger.

Along the same lines, extreme weather conditions can also cause discomfort in rosacea sufferers. Harsh winds and extreme cold can cause flare-ups. Surprisingly, though, so can being indoors for relief from the cold. While sitting by a roaring fire or soaking in a hot bath may sound comforting, exceedingly warm environments can also increase blood flow to the face causing flushing and other uncomfortable symptoms.

While there is no cure for rosacea, there are treatment options to help reduce the symptoms associated with rosacea including visible veins in the face, acne-like breakouts, persistent redness, and inflammation. Laser treatments at Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center include treatments for facial redness and rosacea. Using pulsed dye lasers to target enlarged blood vessels, laser treatment destroys the capillaries allowing the body to absorb them naturally. Laser treatment can resolve issues like the embarrassing flushing and redness associated with rosacea.

Thinking about Laser Hair Removal, Tattoo Removal or Wrinkle Treatment? What to Look for in a Reputable Laser Treatment Center

Because laser cosmetic treatment is so new, many patients are unaware that standards exist to regulate which practitioners and physicians can use the equipment and how it should be used. While the use of lasers for cosmetic and medical treatments seems like space-age technology, these criteria and rules help keep patients and physicians safe. More specifically, organizations like the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) and the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) regulate and determine the appropriate safety criteria for the medical and cosmetic use of lasers.

When looking for a reputable laser treatment center, it is important that the facility follow high standards of practice to ensure patient safety. The ASLMS lists training and education, patient and procedure selection, and patient safety as the three main determining factors in high standards of laser treatment practice.More

How Does Acne Light Treatment Work?

Laser Lights Cosmetic Laser Center offers Acne Light Therapy to help reduce the appearance of existing acne and decrease the likelihood of future breakouts. Acne Light Therapy utilizes PDT, photo dynamic therapy, to kill acne-causing bacteria deep within the pores.

PDT technology was invented to stop the growth pre-cancerous skin cells like actinic keratosis, but is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for skin conditions such as mild to moderate acne, rosacea, and even fine lines due to the technologies ability to effectively treat larger affected areas. To treat acne, a specific wavelength of blue light is applied to the skin of the face and/or area of the body. The specialized light penetrates deep into the skin to kill the underlying bacteria that can lead to unsightly acne breakouts.

The advantage of PDT treatment, like Acne Light Therapy, is that it requires no downtime and there is minimal recovery involved. The light used in Acne Light Therapy causes no pain. Similar to the light of other laser skin treatments, Acne Light Therapy’s application is highly controlled so as not to damage any surrounding tissues. Previously, more aggressive chemical peels were employed to dissolve the dead skin cells on the surface and the pores’ impurities to fight acne. Now, similar end results can be obtained with a few (typically 8-10) short (15-20 minutes each) Acne Light treatments and no interruption to daily activities.

Many of our acne light therapy patients enjoy receiving regular microdermabrasion treatments to keep their newly rejuvenated appearance intact and their pores clear of impurities.
