Secrets of Laser Treatments
With the power to solve our wrinkles,
acne, scars, unwanted hair, fat, college tattoos and sun damage from all of our
those fun while they lasted Nantucket
summers lasers are one of dermatology’s most valued tools. With the growing
interest comes growing confusion; between ablative and non ablative fractional
and pulsed dye. How are we supposed to know , which laser is right for us?
The quick answer is that, a board
certified doctor with years of experience does. Resist the urge to ask for a
specific laser by name don’t be swayed by marketing and instead choose a doctor
who has plenty of experience.
The doctors with the most experience
will have several machines and can be choosy about which laser and in what
order. Someone has a piece of equipment doesn’t mean they know how to use it. Most
devices are safe, but the laser is only as good as the person handling it. The skin
care is a core specialty. There is no way a gynecologist is going to resurface
someone’s face the way. If your are only looking for laser treatments or
injectables, you are often better off seeing a cosmetic dermatologist who is
more likely to perform the work herself instead of having an aesthetician or
assistant do it. But if you also want to talk about having an eye lift at some
point a plastic surgeon again one equipped with at least three to five machines
may make sense.
Everyone’s different genetic matter
but our doctor should be able to provide us a range of what to reasonably
expect and how fast especially after he or she sees how you respond to the
first treatment.
