Why We Love Lasers

Posted: June 23, 2011

It seems that there's a laser treatment for every concern - whether it be skin rejuvenation, fat reduction, or hair removal. The popularity of lasers has increased dramatically, and for good reason. Lasers can provide noticeable results with very little downtime. In fact, laser technology has become so advanced that, for most procedures, fewer treatment sessions are needed to produce the intended results. And with the sophisticated equipment available today, laser sessions are also more effective and can treat many conditions - including those that were once reserved for surgery, such as body contouring procedures and skin tightening.

If you have been thinking about improving your appearance but you are not willing to sacrifice the time and expense of surgery, a laser treatment may be a good option. The following are some of the exciting applications for lasers:

• Skin Rejuvenation: laser improves the appearance of rough skin texture, fine lines, blotchiness, sun damage, acne, melasma, and skin laxity.
• Fat Reduction: laser can reduce unwanted fat in the hips, thighs, and abdomen without surgery, anesthesia, or pain medication. Some lasers can also improve the look of cellulite.
• Hair Removal: laser can lessen or eliminate the need for shaving and waxing with a series of simple, painless treatment sessions.
• Vein Treatment: gently erases spider veins and broken blood vessels on the face and body without anesthesia.
