The question is quite controversial, but it will be addressed accordingly in the article. Laser skin rejuvenation is widely used in facial aesthetic treatment but termed risky for other body parts.
Though it is possible, you will need to know;
• Who should perform the operation?
• When should the laser skin rejuvenation be done?
• Which are the best devices to use in the treatment process?
Laser skin rejuvenation is the process by which the skin regains its more youthful look. This is by either using surface skin replacement or tightening of the skin tissues. It is mostly famous for the face since it is the part of the body which has many skin regeneration cells. Because of this, the face can respond faster and quicker in comparison, to other areas of the body.
The two most popular laser skin rejuvenation treatments which doctors widely use are: skin resurfacing treatment and skin tightening treatments. Laser skin tightening targets the surface beneath the skin and the laser skin resurface targets the skin surface. Skin tightening is a non-ablative form of laser treatment, and skin resurfacing is an ablative laser treatment.
Due to its nature, laser skin resurfacing is more widely acceptable for whole body or any body part treatment. This is because it rejuvenates the skin by making it a bit bruised and develops new collagen tissues. Non-wounding laser technology is a bit limited on how effective it can be in most of the body parts due to their different skin depth. If well applied it produces good results too.
The conditions which laser skin rejuvenation can treat are:
• Any enlarged oil glands on the nose.
• Birthmarks.
• Warts.
• It can improve your skin color, more so if you have grayish skin.
• Sun damaged skin.
• Acne scars or chicken pox.
• Wrinkles which are around your face like the eyes and the mouth.
Laser skin rejuvenation can be done in a majority of the parts of the body. It can be done almost in every part of the body depending on the professional level of the person doing it. Always ensure you get treatment from a professional dermatologist or an expert. Though it is riskier to do it in other parts of the body in comparison to the face, it is possible.
The most critical factor in this operation is to ensure the use of different laser machines with different nanometer measures. In most cases, fractional CO2 lasers, luminous deep FX, and Fraxel repair are used on feet, arm and the back. Fraxel restores, and Fraxel Dual are neck treatments, though not exclusively. Exercise caution when working on other parts of the body rather than the face.
Laser rejuvenation operation does not work smoothly on thin skins.
Disadvantages of laser skin rejuvenation include:
• The patients are prone to fever blisters after treatment.
• It is itchy.
• Administer proper antibiotic or viral medicines after treatment to prevent secondary infections.
• Laser heat can cause burns.
• Your skin may eventually change color.
There are various advantages of skin laser rejuvenation,
• The non-wounding rejuvenation method has almost no downtime.
• It is safe and approved by FDA.
• Restoration of lost self-esteem and lost confidence.
• It can be used to treat pre-cancer skin lesions.
• It Improves blood circulation.
• It enhances the beauty and restores wrinkled skin to normal.
Before you make a concrete decision on rejuvenating your skin; consult your aesthetician to get proper advice on which rejuvenation method to use for your skin condition. Get your skin analysis done to avoid any negative impacts on treatment. Any medication containing ibuprofen or aspirin should be avoided prior, during, and after the treatment period.
Always seek treatment from certified medical practitioners specializing in skin treatments.
