Laser skin treatments are popular cosmetic procedures that precisely remove old, damaged skin cells in the outermost layer of skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. These treatments also use focused heat energy to stimulate collagen growth for smoother and firmer skin. Rendon Center has various laser skin treatments available to reduce blemishes and treat skin conditions such as psoriasis or rosacea.
Our Available Treatment Options
In general, laser skin rejuvenation treatments use selective photothermolysis, modulating light frequency and heat levels to target damaged cells while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues. Various versions of this technology exist, often used for specific skin conditions or types. Here's a list of the laser treatments available at Rendon Center:
- Sciton BroadBand Light: BroadBand Light uses a handheld device with laser technology to eliminate redness or age spots and stimulate skin regeneration.
- Sciton HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser: Combining ablative and non-ablative laser technology, the HALO laser improves skin quality from within, specifically removing age spots, uneven pigmentation and sun damage.
- XTRAC laser therapy: XTRAC is a drug-free laser treatment for skin conditions that are traditionally difficult to treat, such as psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema.
- Levulan® Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): PDT uses photorejuvenation treatments to treat superficial skin cancer and precancerous lesions.
- Candela Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL):Â PDL is a safe, effective and gentle yellow light treatment that addresses vascular lesions.
- Candela GentleYAG VR:Â The Candela GentleYAG VR laser technology is versatile to target age spots while also treating loose skin, wrinkles and spider veins.
Benefits of Laser Treatments
Laser skin resurfacing is a great option for individuals who wish to bring new life to their skin. Specifically, these treatments are:
- Gentle:Â Laser technology is a gentle approach to treating skin blemishes and conditions. It only targets the problem tissue, preserving the healthy surrounding tissue. This is done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return to your day immediately following laser skin treatment.
- Safe:Â Laser treatment is minimally invasive, with no incisions, general anesthesia, or bandages required. As a result, these treatments have fewer potential complications or risks than a surgical procedure.
- Versatile:Â Laser skin resurfacing treatments treat various conditions, depending on the light they produce. Some of the most common cosmetic concerns include acne, scarring, birthmarks, age spots, wrinkles, and precancerous lesions.
- Long-lasting:Â Because laser technology targets blemishes at the cellular level, these treatments offer impressive, long-lasting results. While your skin will continue to age, the blemishes will not resurface.
Laser Treatments FAQs
Laser skin treatments can improve your skin's appearance and leave you glowing. Here are answers to some commonly asked questions about laser treatments.
How many laser treatment sessions will I need to see results?
You can see results from laser treatment sessions within two to five days when using a HALO treatment, which boosts elastin and collagen production, delivering continued improvements over a few months. You will see results about three to six weeks after a ProFractional session. The results of this treatment can last about six months and may require a few more sessions to achieve the look you want.
Is laser skin treatment painful?
Laser treatments like HALO are typically painless, with patients reporting a slight prickling sensation. This treatment uses a topical anesthetic before the session with integrated cooling technology to help maintain comfort. The ProFractional laser treatment can cause slight discomfort resembling a sunburn, but we apply a numbing agent beforehand to ensure comfort.
What's the downtime after laser treatment in Boca Raton?
The downtime for laser treatment in Boca Raton is at least one to two days for a HALO laser treatment, and little to no time for ProFractional laser treatment. The mild redness from the HALO treatment can intensify by the third day, while symptoms such as swelling and peeling may occur in the days following the ProFractional laser treatment.
Which laser treatment is best for sun damage and age spots?
Laser treatments like HALO and Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL) are best for sun damage and age spots, depending on your skin type and concerns. BBL rejuvenates the skin by targeting and reducing redness and pigmentation, while HALO addresses surface pigments and sun damage, and stimulates deep collagen renewal to reduce age spots. Candela GentleYAG VR targets age spots and treats wrinkles, loose skin and spider veins, while ProFractional laser remodels the underlying skin structure to reduce age spots and signs of sun damage. We recommend consulting your dermatologist for a personalized plan that suits your skin type.
Are laser treatments safe for all skin types?
Not all laser treatments are safe for all skin types, but HALO is, thanks to its hybrid fractional technology. It treats the skin evenly and avoids uneven pigmentation that other laser types commonly cause in darker skin. ProFractional laser resurfacing is also safe for all skin types when performed by a licensed and skilled professional.
