subject: The Types Of Skin Conditions That Laser Treatments Can Cure [print this page]


Laser treatments are being used as a versatile form of treatment for a wide variety of skin woes. You can treat everything from acne to sun damage, wrinkles to birthmarks, and even remove unwanted hair with laser treatments.

There are a few down sides to laser treatments but the benefits far outweigh the negatives when it comes to treating skin conditions. There are few things better for getting rid of unwanted hair. It is not a guarantee of permanent and complete hairlessness, the laser treatments do slow down growth. It also works to remove thick or coarse hair. This is especially helpful on the face.

Laser treatment also works wonders for acne and wrinkles. Wherever you have these issues, you can treat with laser.

Any type of acne, including plain pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads, will respond to laser. You can use laser safely on any part of the face so long as you avoid the eye area.

Maybe you spent too many of your early years out having fun in the sun without sun protection, and your skin shows the results. Laser treatments can help with sun damaged skin when other treatments have failed. You need to know that laser treatments for sun damage generally cause some redness or even slight burns though, because often this treatment requires a high power level for the laser.

At this point you may be thinking that laser treatment sounds like the perfect miracle skin cure-all. There's one problem it is expensive. And for most of these treatments to be effective, you will need several sessions.

Laser treatment is safe for most people. Some people who have sensitive skin may experience a few side effects such as mild burning or skin rash. Topical medicine to alleviate these symptoms is readily available and can be prescribed to you if you experience difficulty with treatment.

Since it is expensive and sometimes uncomfortable, I recommend trying other treatments first before resorting to laser therapy for these disorders. You can use thermal treatment such as the Zeno acne clearing device, or over-the-counter topical treatments for acne or wrinkles. In many cases there are oral medications also available that work as feasible alternatives to laser treatment.
