What does laser therapy treat?
Aveda Integrative Medical Center offers laser treatments to help reverse the signs of aging and much more, including treating:
- Unwanted hair
- Ingrown hairs or “beard bumps”
- Wrinkles or lax skin
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Enlarged pores
- Acne or acne scars
- Spider veins or other red spots
- Rosacea or facial redness
- Sun damage, age spots, freckles, or lesions
- Unsightly nails or nail fungus
- Psoriasis
- Warts
- Scars or stretch marks
Laser treatments also minimize the appearance of melasma, a skin condition causing brownish or blue-gray patches, typically on your face.
What should I expect during laser hair removal?
Dr. Saxena performs your laser treatment with the painless LightPod Neo® laser, which targets your hair follicles to help rid you of unwanted hair. The treatment is gentle and pleasant.
Your hair grows in phases, so you’ll need a series of laser treatments to target each cycle of hair growth. Your treatments are typically spaced 3-4 weeks apart to help you achieve maximum results.
What should I expect during sun spot or tattoo removal?
Dr. Saxena uses an advanced laser called the LightPod Neo with MicroPulse-1064 technology, which provides painless removal of tattoos, melasma, age spots, and beyond. She first cleans your treatment area, and then holds, the laser device so it hovers over your skin, emitting a red beam of laser light.
The light breaks up the pigment in your skin. After your laser treatment, the areas first darken and then slough off, revealing clearer skin.
What happens during laser treatment for nail fungus?
Laser treatment for nail fungus is safe, quick, and more effective than medications or creams. During treatment, the laser light penetrates your nail bed, heating the fungus to destroy it. The treatment is quick, and you can resume all of your daily activities afterward.
What happens during laser treatment for skin tightening and rejuvenation?
You wear goggles to protect your eyes during your treatment. Dr. Saxena guides the LightPod Neo laser over your skin. The laser energy penetrates into your skin to stimulate healthy collagen, while also targeting veins and sun spots.
The treatment isn’t painful. You usually need a series of laser treatments staggered every six months to achieve optimal results. Dr. Saxena discusses the ideal treatment plan for you.
Whether you’re seeking a nonsurgical solution to a smoother complexion or looking to get rid of unwanted hair or a tattoo, Dr. Saxena can help. Find out more by calling today or booking a consultation online.
