Laser Treatments (Face)
How does it work and who is it for?
Laser treatments for the face use concentrated beams of light energy to target specific chromophores (light-absorbing molecules) in the skin.
Different lasers emit different wavelengths of light, allowing them to target various facial skin concerns, such as hair follicles, blood vessels, pigment, and even water in the skin.
The laser energy is converted into heat, which selectively damages the targeted tissue while leaving surrounding tissues relatively unharmed. Laser treatments are versatile and can address a wide range of facial concerns, from hair removal and vascular lesions to skin resurfacing and acne treatment.
Suitability depends on factors like skin type, hair color (for hair removal), and the specific condition being treated. It's crucial to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if laser treatment is right for you.

Thread Vein Removal (on the face)
Lasers target the hemoglobin (the red pigment in blood) within the thread veins (also known as spider veins or telangiectasia) on the face.
The laser energy is absorbed by the hemoglobin, causing the blood vessels to heat up and coagulate.
Over time, the treated veins are naturally absorbed by the body, resulting in a reduced appearance or complete disappearance.
Acne
Certain lasers can target the bacteria (P. acnes) that contribute to acne breakouts on the face, as well as reduce inflammation and oil production.
The laser light can also stimulate collagen production, which can help improve the appearance of acne scars.
Different lasers are used for different types of acne and scarring.
Facial Hair Removal
Lasers target the melanin (the pigment in hair follicles) on the face. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future hair growth.
Multiple treatments are necessary to target hair in different growth cycles, leading to significant and long-lasting hair reduction.
The effectiveness depends on the contrast between hair and skin color (dark hair on light skin typically responds best).
Red Cherry Angioma Removal
Cherry angiomas are benign growths of blood vessels. Lasers target the hemoglobin within these blood vessels, similar to thread vein removal.
The laser energy heats up the blood vessels, causing them to coagulate and eventually fade away.
Your Questions Answered
Are laser treatments on the face safe?
Laser treatments are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner.
However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks 1 and side effects, such as redness, swelling, temporary changes in pigmentation, and in rare cases, scarring.
It's crucial to have a consultation with a practitioner who can assess your skin type and medical history to determine if laser treatment is appropriate for you and to discuss any potential risks.
What is the recovery time like after laser treatments on the face?
The recovery time after laser treatments on the face varies depending on the type of laser used and the specific condition being treated. Some treatments, like laser hair removal or some vascular lesion treatments, have minimal to no downtime, with only mild redness that subsides within a few hours.
Other more ablative treatments, like some skin resurfacing lasers, may involve a few days of redness, swelling, and peeling. Your practitioner will provide you with specific aftercare instructions based on the treatment you receive.
