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.

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.

Rosacea and spider veins are two of the most commonly exhibited dermatological conditions. Because the symptoms of these conditions are often very visible (usually appearing on the face or legs), many patients wrongfully believe that they are too difficult to treat. In fact, laser treatment for rosacea and spider veins consistently show some of the most dramatic, positive results of laser procedures.

Rosacea is a dermatological condition characterized by chronic facial redness and discoloration. Usually developed later in life around one’s 30s or 40s, inflammation and pimples are also sometimes observed. Unless affecting the eyes, rosacea is generally far less medically harmful than social. Laser treatment for rosacea is facilitated by three or four of Laser Light’s 15 different lasers depending on the patient’s individual case. Most patients require one to three treatments to achieve the results they’re after.

Treatment of spider veins is similar to that of rosacea: with little to no down time. Spider veins are most commonly observed as tree-branch or spider-web shaped blue veins directly beneath the surface of the skin. Laser treatment for spider veins uses a unique wavelength of light that actually passes through the skin and is absorbed by the veins. This allows the patients’ skin to remain completely intact while the spider veins beneath are eliminated.

Compared to earlier, more invasive dermatological treatments, laser treatment for spider veins and rosacea is easy and quick, and relatively painless. Though everyone’s case is indeed different, the experienced Laser Lights’ cosmetic laser technicians want to make patients aware that just because a condition seems tough to treat doesn’t mean they should rule out laser treatment. Laser technology has advanced so quickly in the last couple of years that there is now a laser technology that can effectively treat most cosmetic skin conditions.
