A laser is a highly concentrated beam of light that is used to cut through tissue. Skin laser treatments can improve the look and feel of your skin. A laser skin treatment is a procedure that uses lasers to treat the skin in a specific area of the body, typically the face. The laser produces heat that destroys damaged skin cells and stimulates the production of collagen fibers. This results in smoother, younger-looking skin with fewer wrinkles and fine lines. This procedure can also improve skin tone and remove dark spots caused by sun damage or acne scarring. Laser skin treatments are most often used for facial rejuvenation procedures such as wrinkle reduction. They can also be used for the reduction of acne scars, the lightening of dark pigmentation spots, and even tattoo removal.
Laser Treatments for Improving Facial Aesthetics
LipLase
LipLase is a revolutionary new treatment option for lip augmentation that uses the power of heat to stimulate the body's natural collagen production process. The minimally invasive procedure only requires a quick session in the dentist's office.
Thanks to its gentle nature, virtually anyone is a good candidate for the treatment with no pain or discomfort involved. The effects of the procedure last anywhere from three to six months but can be maintained with touch-up treatments over time. This means that you can enjoy the results you achieve from your initial treatment for as long as you like!
The procedure uses specialized laser energy to achieve optimal results with little to no downtime or recovery period necessary. During the short office visit, the laser is calibrated to target the soft tissue in your lips in order to stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin fibers. By encouraging your body's natural processes, you are left with fuller, plumper lips that look completely natural.
Benefits of LipLase
This quick and painless procedure can take years off of your appearance by stimulating collagen growth, improving your lip's shape, and giving you incredible results.
Unlike traditional injectable dermal fillers, LipLase uses laser energy to stimulate collagen production underneath the skin's surface for long-lasting results. With minimal pain and downtime, this is an ideal solution for patients seeking full, natural-looking lips without surgery or significant recovery time.
SmoothLase
SmoothLase is an effective skin-tightening treatment for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, rough skin texture, and dullness in the skin. The treatment uses light energy to heat the layers of the skin to jumpstart the body's natural healing process. As the body heals itself after treatment, it stimulates collagen growth to smooth and tighten the treated areas.
If you are dealing with loose, wrinkled, or uneven skin on your face, neck, or body that may also be caused by aging, sun damage, or weight fluctuations, you may be a good candidate for SmoothLase. Your aesthetic professional will be able to tell you if you are a good candidate for the treatment during a consultation. SmoothLase is an ideal solution for people who are looking for a more gradual and subtle cosmetic improvement than surgery can provide.
SmoothLase can be used to treat a variety of areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, legs, knees, and even the abdomen and back. During your initial consultation, you can also discuss with an aesthetic professional which areas of your body may be able to be treated.
Nightlase
NightLase is an advanced laser treatment for snoring and sleep apnea. This FDA-approved procedure uses a concentrated light beam to target the soft palate tissue in the back of the mouth. The gentle heat of the laser works to shrink the tissues, stiffening the area and reducing vibration to the soft tissues that can cause snoring. Over a period of a few months, the patient's soft palate returns to its normal size, and their snoring ceases. For patients who suffer from mild to moderate cases of obstructive sleep apnea, this treatment has shown to be highly effective. Some minor lifestyle changes may also be suggested to further help control sleep apnea symptoms.
How Does NightLase Work?
This laser treatment works by using laser light to gently heat the soft tissues that line your airway, which helps them become stronger and more elastic. As a result, this keeps your airway open during sleep and prevents it from collapsing in on itself as you breathe in and out.
The laser light is applied in three soft-tissue areas on each side of the throat: the soft palate on the roof of your mouth, the base of your tongue, and within the mandible. By targeting these areas, the treatment is able to treat both the source of sleep apnea as well as prevent snoring in most cases.
