Laser & IPL Treatment

Laser Treatment

Burn Scar Treatment:

 

 

Hypertrophic scars may develop after a deep burn that produces significant morbidity; for example, intense itching, pain, stiffness, contracture, etc. But best practices for its management remain unclear, with unknown long-term benefits.

 

Laser treatment may be one of the most effective non-surgical methods for post-burn scar management. This is a potentially transformative technology for the effective outcome of hypertrophic burn scars treatment. A pulsed-dye laser is used for pruritus and erythema; a fractional CO2 laser is used for stiffness and abnormal texture.

 

The outcome of this non-surgical procedure is highly satisfying for the patients. Many pieces of research show that Laser treatment produces rapid, significant, lasting improvements in a hypertrophic scar. Laser treatment of hypertrophic burn scars represents a disruptive innovation in the vibrant field of medical aesthetics that can yield results not previously possible and may displace traditional methods of operative intervention.

 

A series of treatments is required to achieve the targeted outcome of the procedure. The duration, cost, and outcome of the treatment vary according to the skin color of the patient, area involved, size, density, hardness, and depth of the scar.

Keloid Treatment:

Keloid is an overgrowth of fibrotic tissue outside the original boundaries of an injury that occurs as a secondary response to the defective wound healing. Keloids often have a functional, aesthetic, or psychosocial impact on patients as highlighted by quality-of-life studies.

 

Laser and light-based therapies are effective treatment options for keloids in recent days. Laser and light-based therapeutic technologies are emerging strongly day by day. Laser and light-based treatment modalities achieve favorable patient outcomes in most cases. Clinical studies using CO₂ laser are more prevalent in current literature and a combination regimen may be a more effective approach. Adding light-based treatments, such as LED phototherapy or photodynamic therapy, to laser treatment may enhance patient outcomes.

 

Lasers and light-based technologies have introduced new ways to manage keloids that may result in improved aesthetic and symptomatic outcomes and decreased the rate of keloid recurrence.

 

A series of laser or combination of laser and light treatments are required for the desired outcome. Duration and cost of the treatment vary according to the area involved, size, density, hardness, depth, and color of the skin.

 

Melanocytic Nevus Treatment:

 

 

A congenital pigmented or melanocytic nevus is a patch of skin that is dark-colored and often hairy. It is present since birth or may appear in the first year of life. A giant congenital nevus is usually smaller in infants and children, but it usually continues to grow as age advances.

 

A few years back, the only option for the treatment of congenital pigmented or melanocytic nevus was surgical removal, or excision and grafting. But, in recent years, there is a new and non-operative option that is Laser treatment. Recent studies on congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) indicate a lower risk of melanoma than has been previously assumed. As a result, the treatment paradigm in CMN has shifted from complete removal to cosmetically acceptable, less invasive treatment options, such as laser treatment. The result of Laser treatment for both nevus and hairy nevus is excellent.

 

A series of laser treatments are required to have the desired outcome in the non-surgical management of congenital pigmented or melanocytic nevus. Duration, outcome, and cost of treatment vary according to the color of the skin, the area involved, size, depth, and whether it is hairy or not.

Mole Treatment:

 

Moles occur when cells in the skin grow in a cluster instead of being spread throughout the skin. Moles may darken after exposure to the sun, during the teen years, and in pregnancy.

 

The laser procedure works best on benign and surface-level moles. Since the procedure is non-invasive, we can expect good cosmetic results from this procedure. You should consult with a clinician for the assessment of the mole whether it should be treated by laser or it must be excised due to a potential risk of malignant transformation. It usually takes only a couple of minutes to answer all your possible questions; like types of moles best for Laser mole removal surgery, understanding your mole type, Laser removal procedure, Laser mole removal cost, does it leave a scar, side effects of laser procedure, alternatives to laser surgery, and its pros/cons.

 

As in other cases discussed above, treatment of moles also needs a series of laser sessions to have the desired outcome in this non-surgical management. Duration, outcome, and cost of treatment vary according to the color of the skin, the area involved, size, depth, and whether it is hairy or not.

Port Wine Stain Treatment:

 

Port-wine stains are a type of capillary malformation. Port-wine stains present at birth as pink to erythematous patches on the skin and/or mucosa. Without treatment, the patches typically darken with age and may eventually develop nodular thickening.

 

Laser and light treatments provide improvement through selective destruction of the vasculature. This can most effectively be done using a pulsed dye laser. Other laser and light treatments include Nd: YAG laser.

 

Laser treatment of CM is based on selective photo-thermolysis of the affected vessels. Selective photo-thermolysis is the process by which a pigmented target absorbs photons, becoming heated and ultimately destroyed while surrounding structures are relatively spared. Hemoglobin absorbs light strongly and displays reduced absorption. Vascular-selective laser wavelengths are absorbed by hemoglobin, producing heat, photocoagulation, and aggregation of erythrocytes; and ultimately, causes necrosis of the endothelial cells. The result of this non-invasive treatment is very good compared to invasive methods.

 

As in other cases, treatment of Port-wine stains and many capillary malformations be also treated through a series of laser sessions to have the desired outcome. Duration, outcome, and cost of the treatment vary according to the color of the skin, the area involved, size, depth, and a few other things. Usually, the patients are of the pediatric age group; therefore, must have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian and must be with them in the procedure room during the entire treatment procedure.

Acne and Acne Scarring Treatment:

 

Acne and acne scar is seriously unpleasant skin condition for many people; especially, for teenage youth. This condition is not only embarrassing for them but it is a potential cause of social withdrawal from a lack of interest in social communication.

 

As every person’s skin is unique to that person, (s)he needs personalized treatment according to the need. Clinicians consider this condition as a serious issue for those who are suffering from psychological withdrawal as a result of this condition. Considering their concerns, clinicians usually offer highly personalized treatment for their patients assuring them that they will be provided a result-oriented high-quality treatment for the best outcome.

 

Patients need to go through a series of sessions for the treatment of acne and acne scars. Duration of treatment, number of sessions, outcome, and cost of treatment vary according to the area involved, size of pimples or scar, their depth, and clinical stage.

Anti-aging Treatment:

 

Our skin is one of the earliest indicators of aging; sometimes, it is the first indicator. As our age increases our skin becomes dry, dehydrated, lax, thin, and wrinkled. Sometimes, all these changes start earlier than when it is expected. Both of these are unexpected to us. Everyone tries to become ever-green, ever-youth.

 

Considering this ground, clinicians realize their feelings and offer them highly effective personalized anti-aging treatment. One of the most effective anti-aging treatment options is a laser. In most cases, a laser treatment plan is combined with different anti-aging facial treatments, light therapy, chemical peel, and/or microdermabrasion to treat a wide range of aging skin conditions.

 

This treatment requires a series of sessions of laser treatment with combining other treatment modalities as required for that individual patient for the best possible result. Duration of treatment, number of sessions, and cost of treatment vary according to the condition, extent, depth, and age of the fine lines/wrinkles and age of the client.

Skin Tightening:

 

Our skin is composed of collagen and elastin fibers that give our skin tightness and firmness. As our age increases, these fibers lose their normal integrity, and their ability for regeneration also diminishes.

 

Clinicians critically assess the skin type, condition, and extents of the lines and wrinkles; and offer highly effective and personalized skin tightening treatment for their clients.

 

As an anti-aging treatment, this treatment also requires a series of sessions of laser treatment with a combination of other treatment modalities that is perfect for that individual patient. Duration of treatment, number of sessions, and cost of treatment also vary according to the condition and laxity of the skin as well as the age of the patient.

Tattoo Removal:

 

Tattoo trends come and go; but, the tattoo themselves last forever. Sometimes a once loved tattoo becomes an eyesore. We are so lucky that we have modern technology to erase the once permanent tattoo. Laser tattoo removal is one of the most commonly performed procedures for any Laser clinic in North America. With the aid of newer technologies, all types, as well as all sizes of tattoos, can effectively and safely be removed. All of the colors can also be erased with the advanced technology Lasers that are widely available in many esthetic centers.

 

Most clients need to receive a series of laser sessions to have the desired result. Duration of treatment, number of sessions, and cost of treatment vary according to the position, size, and color.
