How Can Lasers or Light Therapy Enhance Skin Appearance?

Cosmetic lasers and light treatments have become popular non-surgical options to enhance the appearance of the skin. Lasers and Light therapies can address various skin issues, including wrinkles, acne, sun damage, and unwanted hair. This category encompasses a range of aesthetic procedures that target skin concerns using controlled energy to the skin’s layers to stimulate collagen production and promote healing and regeneration without surgery. We offer a variety of lasers + light treatments at our San Diego practice.

What Are Laser and Light Treatments Like to Experience?

Your skin will be cleansed, and you may be given protective eyewear in preparation for treatment. Depending on the procedure, a numbing cream may be applied to your skin to minimize discomfort. A laser or light device is directed at the treatment area. You may experience a sensation of warmth or mild stinging. Lasers + light treatments can take a few minutes to an hour to perform, depending on the type of procedure and the size of the treatment area. You may need a series of treatment sessions to achieve desired results.

Will I Need to Take Time Off Work for Lasers + Light Treatments?

Lasers and light treatments require minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. Recovery may vary depending on the type and intensity of treatment. Some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort are common, but these symptoms usually subside within a few hours or days. With some laser skin treatments, you may experience flaking or peeling for approximately one week as the skin heals and regenerates. Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun after treatment. It is important to wear sunblock and avoid direct sun exposure.
