What Skin Conditions can be Treated with Laser Treatment?

What are types of Laser?

There are two basic types of lasers:

• 1. Ablative Lasers

The ablative laser removes a thin outer layer of your skin and heats the inner layer. The procedure helps produce collagen that helps improve your skin. The new skin that grows is a lot smoother and finer.

Fractional CO2 laser and fractional erbium laser are ablative lasers.

• 2. Non-Ablative Lasers

The non-ablative laser targets the inner parts of the skin leaving the outer skin undamaged. They create uniform damage to the inner layer of skin that helps produce new collagen and the skin will look smooth and younger. Non-ablative lasers are best for treating early signs of aging and mild to moderate damage to the skin.

PicoSure, Q-Switched laser, long-pulsed laser, and Fotona PQX Picolaser are some non-ablative lasers.

One Laser cannot Solve all Problems

As different patients have different skin issues and different skin types, there are different lasers to treat different problems. Some of them are:

• 1. CO2 Lasers

CO2 lasers are ablative lasers that remove the upper thin layer of the skin causing minimal damage to the surrounding skin. CO2 lasers are used to treat sun damage, warts, wrinkles, birthmarks, scars, and other skin problems.

• 2. Erbium Lasers

The Erbium lasers are both ablative and non-ablative. They are used to smooth the texture of the skin and even the skin tone. Treating fine lines, age spots, and wrinkles are also possible with erbium lasers.

• 3. Pulsed Dye Lasers

Pulsed Dye lasers are successfully used to treat facial redness, hyperpigmentation, broken capillaries, and rosacea. They are non-ablative lasers and use a special organic dye. This helps to absorb pigments from the skin and reduce redness and pigments in the skin.
