Cosmetic Laser Clinics
Cosmetic laser clinics offer a variety of services, from hair removal and resurfacing to skin tightening and rejuvenation. A good clinic should feature the latest FDA-approved equipment and a staff a certified technicians, accredited aestheticians, and at least one board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Just about anyone can be trained to use a laser. There are extension course and evening training courses available in every community. However, you don't want "just anyone" putting a hot laser up to your face and administering treatment. Before you get any work done, check the credentials, ask to see before and after photos, and read testimonials from former patients. Whenever possible, it's a good idea to get a referral from a friend.
Popular Treatments from Top Cosmetic Laser Skin-Care Clinics
One of the most popular procedures performed in cosmetic clinics is laser hair removal. During this process, a probe is used to kill the root of unwanted new hair. This cosmetic procedure should take place during different stages of the growth cycle to eliminate hair for good, and patients should expect to sign up for a minimum of eight sessions if they want to stop new growth for a longer period of time.
Resurfacing is a popular skin-care alternative to microdermabrasion. During resurfacing, a technician uses RF and infrared energy to peel away deeper layers of the skin, revealing the healthy cells below. Recovery times may vary according to the level of resurfacing that takes place.
Skin tightening is becoming a popular alternative to face-lift surgery. Rather than going under the knife, patients take an hour out of their days (some people even do it on their lunch breaks) to receive a gentle probe from a laser. The probe heats the collagen in the dermis, several layers below the epidermis, causing the muscles and tissues to contract and expand. This action causes the skin to tighten around the area and new collagen to form over the next two to six months.
