Laser Season Starts Now! Popular Laser Treatments Explained

Do you know what season it is? It’s laser season!

When it comes to lasers, most people only ever hear about laser hair removal, but lasers can treat so much more!

It’s obvious why laser hair removal is the most popular, well-known laser treatment around – hair growth sucks unless it’s on top of your head or on your eyelids, am I right? Get that unnecessary hair gone!

However, lasers are actually amazing skin resurfacing tools and can treat a wide array of skin conditions and concerns in addition to unwanted hair, such as skin rejuvenation, acne scars, fine lines, sun damage, melasma, wrinkles and even urinary incontinence.

Keep reading to learn more about the different laser technologies AesthetiCare has to offer and what getting laser treatment looks like at AesthetiCare.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser treatment works wonders for skin conditions like skin resurfacing, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and more.

These AesthetiCare laser treatments can be used to specifically target common skin conditions:

• BBL laser treatment
• HALO laser treatment
• MOXI laser treatment
• MicroLaserPeel

Let’s take a closer look at each one of these laser treatments now.

BBL Laser Treatment

In a nutshell, BBL laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses light energy to stimulate new collagen production in the skin to reveal smoother, more rejuvenated skin.

BBL treats the following skin conditions with virtually no downtime.

• Active acne
• Sun damage
• Age spots
• Freckles
• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Rosacea and redness
• Enlarged pores
• Skin laxity

Overall procedure time varies and depends on the targeted area being treated, but it usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. BBL laser treatment can be used on many areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, back and hands.

If you want the most effective laser treatment for decreasing sun damage, redness and fine lines with no downtime, then look no further than BBL! It’s also important to note that two to four treatments are recommended to maintain results and slow the aging process.

HALO Laser Treatment

The HALO laser is the world’s only hybrid fractional laser that uses a unique combination of wavelengths to aid in skin rejuvenation, treating a variety of skin conditions with minimal downtime:

• Enlarged pores
• Melasma
• Uneven skin tone
• Skin texture
• Fine lines
• Visible signs of aging
• Wrinkles
• Sun damage

Procedure time varies based on the targeted area being treated, but most HALO laser treatments take no more than 15 to 45 minutes (unless a body zone is being treated, in which case the procedure can last up to 90 minutes).

Areas that can be treated include the face, chest, neck and hands.

Many clients achieve improvements in overall skin tone and texture with a visible reduction in discoloration, pore size and fine lines. Clients often report seeing glowing skin with this laser treatment as well!

AesthetiCare is leading the charge in HALO laser technology, because not only were we awarded the highest level of Diamond with Sciton for HALO, but we were #1 in treatments performed nationwide as well!

MOXI Laser Treatment

Are you looking for the latest and greatest in skin rejuvenation treatments that both revitalizes and refreshes your appearance by correcting uneven skin tone and improving overall skin texture? If the answer is yes, then MOXI laser treatment is for you!

AesthetiCare was the first med spa in all of Kansa City to offer the MOXI laser treatment – a procedure in which non-ablative laser energy is used to correct initial signs of aging and sun damage.

MOXI treats the following skin conditions with minimal downtime on areas of the face, chest, neck, hands and body zones:

• Aging
• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Melasma
• Sun damage
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone
• Skin texture

Procedure time can vary based on the targeted area, but roughly 15 to 45 minutes is a safe bet for this laser treatment unless a body zone is being treated. Like the HALO laser treatment, a body zone treatment could take up to 90 minutes.

Following MOXI laser treatment, clients experience an overall improvement in skin tone and texture, reduction in pore size and fine lines and finally, increased reflectivity and glow.

MicroLaserPeel

AesthetiCare’s MicroLaserPeel is the ideal treatment for improving skin texture and clarity.

The skin conditions the MicroLaserPeel can treat include:

• Sun damage
• Mild wrinkles
• Scars, including acne scars
• Keratosis
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Pigment irregularities

I bet your next question is: How does the MicroLaserPeel work? Great question!

During the MicroLaserPeel process, an erbium scanning laser is used to resurface the skin by vaporizing the skin to a desired depth via a MicroLaserPeel. The skin then recognizes this as a wound and immediately begins creating new skin to replace the old.

Once the new skin is regenerated, it appears healthier, therefore improving overall skin clarity and texture.

A topical anesthetic is used to ensure a very tolerable procedure of 30 to 60 minutes, although there is some downtime involved. Most patients experience redness, peeling and moderate swelling for anywhere from one to seven days following the procedure.

The results of this laser treatment appear very quickly. In fact, within a week, you should see more glowing skin, and results will continue to improve over the next six months.

Unwanted Body Hair Means Laser Hair Removal

Ever since Eve, womankind has been fascinated with the notion of hair growth. Why must it grow in areas we don’t want?? Seriously. So annoying.

The good news?

It’s laser hair removal to the rescue! Shave hours of waxing and plucking off your beauty routine forever.

First thing first: What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective process for permanently reducing or eliminating unwanted hair virtually anywhere on the body (except near the eyes).

During the hair removal process (about 15 to 60 minutes), light is used to target melanin (a dark pigment) that lies in the follicle’s growth centers. At that point, the light becomes heat and destroys the hair follicle at the source. Bye-bye, razor!

Without its growth center, hair follicles can no longer grow in the area that’s been treated.

Six to 12 treatments are recommended on average for maximum results, because the laser treatment targets only the active phase of the hair growth cycle, of which there are three: the anagen phase, catagen phase and telogen phase.

Laser hair removal is effective in eliminating 80% to 90% of hair within the treated areas – believe it or not!

Laser Treatment for Acne Scars

Pro tip for dramatic skin rejuvenation? The ProFractional laser treatment.

During a ProFractional laser treatment (about 45 to 90 minutes), a portion of the skin is left intact, which reduces the healing time drastically, but the goal of this laser treatment is to achieve tighter, more rejuvenated skin free of imperfections and acne scarring.

The ProFractional Laser stimulates the natural collagen growth in your skin. Your aesthetician will determine the depth as it depends on both your age and your skin’s condition.

Skin conditions that the ProFractional Laser treats include:

• Acne scars
• Wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Sun damage
• Poor skin tone and texture

While the ProFractional laser treatment is great for reducing acne scarring, AesthetiCare also offers advanced acne therapy to treat active acne. It consists of LED therapy, laser therapy, peels and home skin care.

Before & After Advanced Acne Therapy

Of course, since everyone’s skin is different, your provider will create an individual treatment plan just for you.

diVa Laser Treatment

The diVa laser treatment is different from other laser treatments in that it targets intimate concerns rather than external cosmetics. When it comes to vaginal rejuvenation for incontinence and other intimate challenges for women, diVa is the world’s most advanced treatment.

The diVa laser treatment treats intimate issues such as urinary incontinence (the sudden loss of bladder control), vaginal laxity, painful intercourse and lack of natural lubricant.

After 30 minutes of numbing, it only takes three to five minutes to treat the vaginal canal, and then you’re left with improved vaginal health overall.
