Today’s Futuristic Tools in Cosmetic Procedures
When people first think about lasers they often conjure up images of futuristic laser warfare, laser pointers for presentations, or sights on guns. However, there is one very useful job for lasers that most people don�t know about, and that is found in the ever-changing landscape of cosmetology.
Many people are taken by surprise when they realize that lasers can do so much to help look and feel their best. They are used in a number of common practices such as burn therapy and tattoo removal, but there are now many more uses coming out that people can get very excited about.
Laser Light Clears Up Acne
Companies have been experimenting with different medical uses for lasers for some time now, and the list of uses has become long, as well as relevant for a number of modern day problems. For example, laser treatment is now being used to treat acne. The scourge of most teenagers, there has been a myriad of treatments for acne including creams, pills, soaps, and more, however you can now use a DermaLASER that targets the bacteria that causes acne rather than treating the skin itself.
Goodbye Wrinkles and Saggy Skin!
Cosmetic lasers are also used to help resurface skin to treat fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, lasers can help encourage the production of collagen, which gives skin its elasticity. They can even be used to remove warts and skin tags as well.
Treating Spots and Pigmentations
Those who have suffered from unsightly sun spots, age spots, or even just hyperpigmentation of their skin can now breathe a sigh of relief because lasers can help reduce the appearance of skin pigmentation problems. Instead of using any harsh chemicals, lasers can be used to specifically target areas where the skin’s pigments aren’t ideal.
Birth Marks and Other Unsightly Skin Irregularities
They can affect anyone, including celebrities, but birth marks, spider veins and port wine stains can now be defeated. Lasers can be used to treat vascular legions, spider veins, birth marks, and even port wine stains. These skin conditions, which may not cause any physical pain, can still cause lasting emotional and psychological damage to those who are embarrassed of their uniqueness.
Cosmetic Surgery
Believe it or not, lasers are also used with breast augmentation and liposuction surgeries, too. Low level lasers have received market clearance for Breast Augmentation and Laser Assisted Liposuction and have been proven effective in reducing pain, edema and promoting healing after surgical procedures. Not only can medical lasers be used for treating the pain after breast augmentation and liposuction surgery, it can also be used as a supplement to surgical liposuction altogether.
Weight Loss
Special low-level lasers can even help people get rid of stubborn belly and thigh fat without ever having to make an incision. There are numerous benefits to laser liposuction, though the most appealing for many people looking to lose weight is that they have no “downtime”. Normally, whenever a patient would undergo surgical liposuction, they had to spend several weeks practically bed-ridden while the incisions healed. There were also risks of infection and scarring in addition to the possibility of allergic reaction to any chemicals that are injected through tumescent liposuction.
Get Rid of Back Pain Caused by Wearing High Heels
In addition to cosmetic applications, there has been research into the use laser therapy for neck, shoulders, and back pain for a while now, and conclusive data shows that by using lasers, chronic and acute pain is far more tolerable than with the assistance of traditional pain medications. That means that if you’ve avoided wearing those sky-high stilettos because of back pain, then you can treat the back problems with low level laser therapy so you can get back to wearing those sexy shoes that you’ve been avoiding and live a normal life without the influence of debilitating pain.
Hair - Grow It or Get Rid of It - It’s Up to You
Lasers can even be used for hair restoration and hair removal. Though the success of laser hair removal is dependent upon the type of laser used and the patient’s skin color, lasers can help provide effective hair removal without the need for harsh chemical depilatories which can be painful, as well as smelly. On the flip side, other lasers can be used to stop hair loss and even stimulate hair growth as well.
Lasers that CURE Burns
Although it doesn�t currently have market clearance by the FDA, companies are discovering the incredible results of using laser treatment for burns. By conducting experiments on burn victims, the studies show that not only does the laser treatment ease the pain during recovery, but it also allows the patients to heal much quicker than those who did not use laser treatment. This is of course only a handful of what different treatments lasers are being used for, and even more are being researched now as we speak. What was once a sci-fi fan�s daydream is beginning to turn into a reality as lasers are now popping up in uses for everyday life. Who knows what the future might hold!
