Today, several new laser techniques are available to treat a wide variety of skin conditions including: Aging-skin, Sun-Damaged skin, Birthmarks, Port wine stains, Spider veins on the face and legs, and removal of tattoos.

LIGHTWAVE therapy can help improve post-pregnancy stretch marks and scars. The LIGHTWAVE BIOLASER can also reduce the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin, resulting in a significant and noticeable cosmetic enhancement.

The LIGHTWAVE BIOLASER stimulates your body’s own regenerative mechanism, accelerating the replenishment of collagen and elastin, restoring your youthful appearance, through the process of stimulating tissues to convert photo energy into cellular energy.

This process is called photo biostimulation. LT technology has been studied in the U.S, Canada, and the European Community for over 15 years and is even used by NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Tens of thousands of people have been treated with Light Therapy with no side effects. LT can help improve the appearance of tired, flaccid skin (including breasts and abdomen), stretch marks, spider veins, orange peel and even cellulite.

LT can help restore skin tone by improving superficial circulation, stimulating the production of elastin and collagen. In cellulite, it stimulates the microcirculation and facilitates the elimination of excess fluids in the adipose (fat) tissue significantly improving the appearance of cellulite and orange peel.

Results include a younger looking, smoother toned body.

LT is not limited to certain body areas so the treatments can be applied to any areas resistant to diet, exercise or areas that are simply in need of cosmetic enhancement.

Each person responds differently to Laser Treatment, some much quicker than others depending on their present physical condition, age, diet, alcohol and cigarette consumption.

Normally, noticeable changes are seen in 8 – 10 treatments when applied twice a week. LT is not magic and will not work overnight. Consistent treatments are required to achieve and maintain the desired enhancement and long-term youthful appearance.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

This procedure is used to remove or to conceal various face defects. The treatment, also know as lasabration or laser peel, uses laser energy targeted at specific site to remove skin layer by layer by removing superficial skin cells.

The technique is suitable for gentle wrinkles around the eyes and the mouse and on the forehead. Acne scars and face-lift operation that left wrinkled skin also can be treated. It is not recommended for people with dark skin and those with active acne.

There are two types of lasers, the one uses CO2 and the one uses erbium.

CO2 laser resurfacing is been used for years. It treats several skin defects such as scars, wrinkles, warts, overgrown oil glands on the nose (called rhinophima) and skin tumors.

It uses very short light wave energy in a periodical matter targeted to specific location or a continuous beam which is scattered around the area. This insures that only minimal heat is applied to the skin creating minimal heat damage to the surrounding tissue. Healing time from this treatment is usually two weeks.

Erbium laser resurfacing is used to remove superficial to slightly deeper skin lines on the face and neck. He`s causing even less heat damage then the previous technique. There is much less swelling and redness after the treatment and the recovery time is about a week. It is also more effective for people with dark skin.

Both of the techniques can be performed using local anesthetic combined with sedative drugs.

Partial treatment last for 30-35 minutes, full-face treatment last for 1.5-2 hours. After the treatment a sterile bandage is applied to the area, which can be removed after 1-3 days. Complete healing usually takes place after 10-21 days. Once the area is healed make up can be used to hide the redness that usually appears.

Every procedure has its ricks and complications. This one includes pigmentation changes either to darker or brighter skin color. Small white spots may appear.

Face swelling may persist several weeks. Infection and cold sore can also happen. It is recommended to stop smoking for better healing of the area.
