What Is a Light & Laser Treatment?
Light & laser treatments are increasingly popular aesthetic treatments available on the market. These treatments aim to work by using a combination of heat & light to target problem areas on the skin and improve skin problems related to texture, hyperpigmentation, UV damage, redness, and stubborn scars.
Light & laser treatment give exceptional results when it comes to acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, UV damage, dark spots, and early signs of aging. Although light & laser work towards the same skin issues, however, there are slight differences in the way they work. Let’s have a look at laser treatments first:
Laser treatment helps with 2 things: getting rid of unwanted facial hair and resurfacing the skin to improve skin texture and tone.
Laser therapy works around tackling deep and stubborn scars and aging lines that don't improve with regular facials and skin care products. Skin resurfacing lasers work on deeper layers of your skin by using controlled heat which increases collagen production. This helps in the formation of new skin cells which is the key to getting glowy and brighter skin back.
There are many laser treatment options available on the market. Below are some examples of Light & Laser treatments offered at aspireMD:
