Laser treatments are among the most effective cosmetic procedures. The laser gives a lot of possibilities, not only related to the embellishment of the body, but also to fight against imperfections and complexes. The laser beam allows you to permanently remove hair from every part of the body, including the face, which is very often used to treat women suffering from hirsutism. The laser is also a great way to rejuvenate facial skin, remove discoloration, close dilated capillaries and eliminate stretch marks.
Why is the winter season a good time to perform laser treatments?
The winter period is the right time to do laser treatments. Why? First of all, because of the fact that after treatments you should be very careful that the skin treated with the laser does not come into contact with sunlight. This could lead to discoloration. In autumn, winter and early spring, the intensity of the natural sun is so small that we can adapt to this most important recommendation without any problems. In addition, it is a long period that allows you to perform a series of treatments, and thus obtain a perfectly smooth, young and even skin tone, which we will gladly boast about this coming summer.
What treatments can be performed with the help of a laser?
Laser therapy helps in a variety of skin problems. Check what effects can be obtained thanks to it.
1. Hair removal
One of the most important advantages of laser hair removal is permanent hair removal. More and more women use this method, appreciating the quick effects it brings and the time it saves in our everyday lives. Laser hair removal is a safe procedure that does not require special preparation. All you need to do is follow some recommendations to be able to undergo epilation without any problems. Two weeks before the procedure, avoid using the solarium, and on the day preceding the procedure, perform a thorough depilation with a disposable razor. For 14 days before the procedure you should also give up the use of cosmetics and ointments containing retinoids or herbal extracts with photosensitizing properties.
2. Removal of discoloration, stains and freckles
The formation of skin discoloration is influenced by many factors. In addition to the effects of solar energy, other reasons for the formation of embarrassing patches on the skin may be hormonal changes, taking medications or thyroid problems. It is estimated that as many as 35 percent of women over 30 and as much as 90 percent of women who have reached the age of 50 face adverse and often embarrassing skin changes.
The laser is able to restore a uniform skin tone, removing any discoloration (hormonal, sun, drug-induced), spots and freckles. In addition to eliminating them, the laser also stimulates the skin to produce collagen and renewal.
3. Closing capillaries
Appropriate use of the laser beam also allows you to close dilated capillaries, i.e. effectively remove the so-called spider veins. The effects can be seen immediately after the first treatment.
Many women of all ages struggle with capillary skin. The most common reason for vasodilatation is genetic predisposition, and the problem is aggravated even by frequent visits to the sauna or solarium. Importantly, this ailment should not be underestimated, because after a while, rosacea may develop – unsightly facial flushing that you can’t deal with so easily.
4. Skin rejuvenation – elimination of wrinkles
The laser is also the best device for strictly rejuvenating treatments. With its help, you can revitalize the entire skin of the face, neck and cleavage, remove fine wrinkles or perform eyelid lifting for a fresher, younger and more attractive look.
How to care for your skin after laser treatments?
Care for skin treated with laser is quite simple, although you should always follow the specific recommendations of the specialist performing the procedure. In any case, you should definitely avoid exposing your skin to the sun and for a few weeks give up tanning in the solarium. The skin should be protected with clothes or sunscreen with SPF 50. In some cases, it is also recommended to use special creams that accelerate the regeneration of the epidermis.
5. Laser treatments – can anyone use them?
Laser treatments are available to most people. Contraindications to the procedure are so limited that the majority of those positively pass the qualification. The treatments will certainly not be performed on pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with fresh tan, who have recently taken medicines or teas with photosensitizing herbs. Facial or body laser treatments cannot be performed on people with unregulated diabetes, having metal implants or a pacemaker, suffering from albinism or other autoimmune diseases.
