Laser Treatments
Laser Technologies for Skin Renewal, Pigmentation, and Acne
Laser treatments are commonly used in aesthetic medicine to address a variety of skin concerns. Different laser technologies deliver specific wavelengths of light that interact with particular structures within the skin.
Depending on the wavelength and energy delivered, lasers may target different biological processes such as pigmentation, vascular changes, sebaceous gland activity, or collagen remodelling.
Because each laser technology works differently, selecting the appropriate laser depends on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals.
At CLEO Aesthetic, laser treatments are selected carefully after assessment of the patient’s skin concerns, skin type, and treatment objectives.
Laser technologies may be used to support improvements in:
- acne and sebum production
- pigmentation and uneven skin tone
- vascular redness
- skin texture and skin renewal
- collagen stimulation
How Laser Treatments Work
Laser devices deliver controlled light energy into the skin. This energy is absorbed by specific targets within the skin, allowing the treatment to influence particular biological processes.
Different lasers are designed to target different structures.
Pigment Targeting
Certain laser wavelengths are absorbed by melanin within the skin. These lasers may be used to address pigmentation concerns such as freckles, sunspots, or uneven skin tone.
Vascular Targeting
Some lasers target blood vessels within the skin and may be used to address redness or vascular changes.
Sebaceous Gland Targeting
Certain wavelengths may influence sebaceous gland activity, which may be useful in managing acne.
Skin Renewal and Collagen Stimulation
Some laser technologies create controlled micro-injury within the skin, stimulating collagen production and supporting skin remodelling.
By selecting the appropriate laser technology, treatments can be tailored to address specific skin concerns.
Types of Laser Treatments
Several types of laser technologies may be used depending on the patient’s skin condition.
1726 nm Sebum Laser
This laser targets sebaceous gland activity within the skin and may be used in the management of acne.
Pico Laser
Pico lasers deliver ultra-short pulses of energy that may help address pigmentation and support skin renewal.
Ruby Laser
Ruby lasers emit a wavelength that is highly absorbed by melanin, making them useful for certain pigmentation concerns.
Yellow Laser
Yellow lasers target vascular structures within the skin and may be used to address redness or vascular-related concerns.
Fractional Laser
Fractional laser technologies create controlled micro-injuries within the skin to stimulate collagen production and support skin remodeling.
These treatments may help improve skin texture and support overall skin renewal.
Choosing the Appropriate Laser Treatment
Different lasers serve different purposes, and selecting the most appropriate treatment depends on the patient’s skin condition.
Factors that may influence treatment selection include:
- type of skin concern
- skin type and sensitivity
- presence of pigmentation or vascular changes
- treatment goals
In many cases, different laser technologies may be used together as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Benefits of Laser Treatments
Laser treatments may help support improvements in:
- skin clarity and tone
- acne management
- skin texture
- pigmentation concerns
- collagen stimulation
Results vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and treatment approach.
Who May Benefit from Laser Treatments?
Laser treatments may be suitable for individuals who experience concerns such as:
- acne or oily skin
- pigmentation or uneven skin tone
- redness or vascular changes
- rough skin texture
A consultation allows the doctor to assess the skin and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
What to Expect During Laser Treatment
Consultation
The doctor will examine the skin and determine whether laser treatment may be appropriate.
Treatment Planning
The type of laser and treatment settings are selected based on the individual’s skin condition.
Treatment Session
Laser energy is delivered to the targeted areas of the skin.
Recovery
Some laser treatments may involve minimal downtime, while others may require a short recovery period depending on the treatment performed.
Possible Side Effects and Considerations
Temporary effects may occur depending on the laser treatment performed.
Possible effects may include:
Mild redness
temporary swelling
temporary skin sensitivity
These effects are typically temporary and improve as the skin recovers.
During consultation, the doctor will assess whether laser treatment is appropriate.
