Laser Treatments Revitalize Skin, Reduce Wrinkles and Remove Unwanted Hair

Laser treatments for the face and body have always been incredibly popular in the plastic and cosmetic surgery field. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has released statistics on cosmetic procedures performed nationwide in 2009. An interesting tidbit from the study found that of the 10 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2009, eighty-five percent were nonsurgical procedures such as laser hair removal.

Palm Beach Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery offers several types of non-invasive face and body laser treatments for different purposes. Laser resurfacing is a controlled procedure that reduces wrinkles around the eyes, cheeks, forehead and mouth areas. It also evens out pigmentation and skin blemishes by removing the damaged upper layers of the skin. Laser resurfacing is the procedure of choice for tattoo removal as well.

Fraxel Laser Treatment is a fractional treatment that produces thousands of deep, tiny columns in your skin call microthermal treatment zones. By creating these microscopic “wounds” in targeted areas, Fraxel Laser Treatments trigger the body to accelerate the production of new healthy skin cells. The treatment targets specific areas of damaged tissue without affecting surrounding areas, so there is minimal healing time.

Laser photo rejuvenation, or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), uses multi-frequency laser pulsed on top of the skin to change the molecular structure and appearance of skin, giving it a tighter and younger look. The treatment removes sunspots, spider veins, rosacea, facial veins and active acne breakouts.

Finally, Palm Beach Cosmetic Surgery offers laser hair removal which beams highly concentrated light to disable hair follicles and eliminate hair growth. The Palomar IPL emits the most effective light that is absorbed by hair follicles.
