Laser light therapy can treat a number of different skin conditions and is often a last resort when other methods of treatment have failed to produce results. The most common uses are to treat spider veins and acne. The areas of the body treated depend on the condition and health of the skin being treated, though there are a few standard guidelines to go by and consider before getting the treatment.
Areas Treated
The areas that can be treated by laser light therapy include:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Arms
- Ankles
- Back
- Face
- Legs
Areas to Avoid
The areas above are all areas that are safe to treat with laser therapy. Because laser therapy is often intense and reaches to the deepest levels of skin and tissue, it's not recommended for the more sensitive areas of the body. These can include palms, bottoms of feet, intimate areas and scalp. If you're experiencing problems in these areas you want to have treated, you can discuss different methods of treatment that can be combined with laser treatment on other areas for an overall improvement that's consistent.
Laser light therapy can be used for a number of different conditions, but it's important be safe when using the procedure, and some areas of the body need to be avoided to prevent injury.
