There are several types of laser skin treatment options because there are many different skin conditions, and not one laser treatment can treat all of them, as some are designed for specific aesthetic purposes. There are also many different types of treatments for certain facial skin conditions. Having a discussion with a skin care professional at Island Medical and Beauty Clinic can help you determine what type might be best for your needs. We are here to answer any questions you have about laser skin treatments, and we will walk you through the process and benefits. For example, CO2 laser treatments may be suitable to treat scarring, deeper wrinkles, or warts. Those with finer lines and wrinkles, age spots, and skin laxity, on the other hand, may benefit more from Er: YAG, Erbium lasers, as they promote collagen regrowth. People with broken capillaries, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea would benefit from pulsed-dye lasers, which heat the skin and absorb pigments and reduce redness.  Laser skin rejuvenation therapy is not recommended for darker skin tones. However, for lighter toned African Americans, Hispanic, or Asian skin tones there are safe and effective options, such as Erbium laser resurfacing, as it poses a lower risk of discoloration. The Aerolase NeoSkin laser treatment is especially effective at restoring skin that has degraded due to natural aging.
