Struggling with dull skin, wrinkles, sun damage or acne scars? Laser skin treatments can address all of these problems and more. And as an added bonus, the winter months are some of the best times of year to get laser treatments, since sun avoidance is crucial to optimizing your results.
These five nonsurgical procedures are some of the best skin rejuvenation treatments to get this winter for smooth, radiant skin.
1. Laser Skin Resurfacing
Expect your Halo treatment results to develop over the course of 2 to 3 weeks.
One of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments, laser skin resurfacing works by delivering ablative, nonablative or a combination of both wavelengths of laser energy to various depths of your skin. This treatment stimulates your skin’s natural healing process, encouraging an upsurge of collagen and increased cell renewal.
The Halo™ laser by Sciton is a hybrid ablative and nonablative laser, enabling it to provide highly effective results without requiring as much healing time afterward as traditional ablative lasers.
2. Laser Peels
Laser peels like Sciton’s NanoLaserPeel™ and MicroLaserPeel® are similar to the Halo™ treatment in that they gently and effectively remove the outer layer of skin, stimulating the healing process and revealing a fresh, brighter layer underneath. The right peel for you will depend on your specific skin concerns — such as fine lines, acne scars, dark spots and a dull complexion — as well as the severity of the targeted issue.
Although you will see gradual improvements to your skin in the weeks and months following your laser peel, most people are able to get back to work and their normal social life within a few days after their appointment.
3. BBL Skin Rejuvenation
Broadband light, or BBL treatments can be excellent skin rejuvenation treatments when pigmentation issues are your primary concern. These include things like sun damage, vascular lesions and redness caused by rosacea, birthmarks and more.
Sciton offers a variety of treatments that use broadband light (BBL) to treat these conditions. These include the Sciton BBL Corrective Photofacial and Sciton Forever Young BBL. The right BBL treatment for you will depend on your specific skin needs and goals. But no matter which one you choose, one of the benefits of these treatments is that they don’t typically require any downtime.
4. Laser Hair Removal
If you’re sick of shaving, waxing and plucking unwanted hair, think about starting laser hair removal treatments in the winter. You’ll need several treatment sessions spaced a few weeks apart to see full results, so starting well before summer can help you have smoother, effortless skin in time for summer.
5. Profound® RF Skin Tightening
While not technically a laser, Profound® RF is a similar device that uses bipolar radiofrequency waves with microneedling technology to stimulate your skin’s healing process. The result is a boost of essential proteins like collagen and faster cell renewal. If loose skin and deep creases are your top concerns, consider this quick and easy med spa treatment.
