Which Laser Treatment is Right for My Skin?
Age, heredity, and sun damage can contribute to a variety of skin issues that affect our appearance and self-confidence. From sagging skin and wrinkles to redness and pigmentation, these concerns can make us look older than we are and feel less confident.
However, thanks to advanced laser treatments, men and women no longer have to live with signs of aging and other skin imperfection. At Better U Medical Spa in the Fort Lee, NJ area, we offer a wide range of laser treatments that can be tailored to each patient’s unique skincare issues and specific needs.
In this article, the laser skincare experts at Better U Medical Spa in the Fort Lee, NJ area explain the reasons behind common skin problems and discuss three powerful laser treatments to give you the clear, smooth, tight skin you will love.
Why Skin Sags, Wrinkles & Develops Pigmentation
Age, heredity, sun damage, environmental factor, and even lifestyle all play significant roles in the development of various skin concerns. These factors can contribute to:
Collagen is the protein that provides the scaffolding and structural integrity of the skin. While elastin is a protein that provides elasticity to the skin – so it stays tight and firm, and snaps back into place. But, as we age, our skin gradually produces less collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging and a loss of firmness and elasticity. This can lead to sagging, wrinkling and folds that add years to one’s appearance.
Repeated facial expressions over time can also lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and smile lines.
Excessive exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can cause skin damage that manifests in the form of unwanted pigmentation, including the development of sunspots, dark spots, age spots, and melasma.
Environmental and lifestyle factors also play a role in the aging of skin. Hormonal changes due to menopause or andropause, smoking, tanning, dietary deficiencies, stress, and even the use of electronic devices, can all contribute to skin tone and texture issues.
Top Laser Treatments in the Fort Lee, NJ Area
Better U Medical Spa in the Fort Lee, NJ area, offers a wide range of the top laser treatments that can address lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and unwanted pigmentation – to give patients clear, smooth, tight skin and take years off their appearance.
Cutera Laser Treatment
The Cutera Laser is specifically designed to target and reduce unwanted pigmentation, including sunspots, age spots, dark spots, melasma, and freckles. This treatment is effective for all skin types and can address various areas of the body, including the face, hands, and chest. The laser energy selectively targets the melanin in the pigmented lesions, breaking them apart without affecting the surrounding healthy skin.
The Cutera Laser uses advanced technology that emits intense pulses of light to target the pigmentation. The light is absorbed by the dark spots, which heats and destroys the pigmented cells. Over time, the body’s natural healing processes eliminate the damaged pigment, leading to a more even and radiant complexion.
Depending on the depth, degree and severity of unwanted pigmentation or “spots”, multiple treatment sessions may be required. Pigmentation reduction results are typically seen within just a few weeks after treatment, as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed, pigmented cells.
Spectra Hollywood Laser Peel®
The Spectra Hollywood Laser Peel® is a gentle and versatile laser treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, fine lines, and mild acne. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the skin to destroy pigment and stimulates collagen production for improved skin texture and smoothness.
Spectra Hollywood laser treatment features a dual-pulse technology that targets both the outer layer (epidermis) and the deeper layers (dermis) of the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and promotes collagen remodeling. The treatment is comfortable and requires no downtime.
Patients will see immediate results in many skin issues – which is why it is adored by Hollywood A-listers for skin rejuvenation before red carpet events.
Depending on the severity of the skin issues, a series of treatment sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, may be recommended to achieve optimal results and the most noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall radiance.
LaseMD Laser Treatment
LaseMD Skin Rejuvenation is another non-ablative laser treatment that addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including pigmentation irregularities, fine lines, and sun damage. It can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage (upper chest), and hands. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and provides effective results with minimal downtime.
LaseMD utilizes fractional laser technology to deliver controlled heat energy to the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin texture, reduced pigmentation, and overall rejuvenation.
The beauty of this laser treatment is that it is completely customizable – allowing the laser experts at Better U Medical Spa in the Fort Lee, NJ area to adjust the depth and intensity of the laser energy based on the specific concerns and skin type of the patient. The number of treatment sessions may vary depending on the desired results, but most individuals see noticeable improvements after the very first treatment – with results continuing to improve after a series of treatments.
