Conditions that Laser Light Therapy Treats

Laser light therapy is a treatment that uses lasers, which penetrate deep into the skin and tissue layer, to lighten or remove (depending on the number of sessions, intensity of light and the condition being treated by the laser therapy). There are a number of conditions that laser light therapy can treat, and it offers positive results.

Spider Veins

Spider veins are the small blue veins you can see just under the surface of the skin. These are often very small and spay out in a web-like design, earning them the name spider veins. While not dangerous, spider veins are a cosmetic problems that primarily women suffer from. Laser light therapy can help to remove spider veins in a few sessions.

Acne

Acne is a condition millions suffer from, and though laser light therapy is often a last resort, it cannot only help prevent future acne, it can repair damaged skin cells and help remove scarring caused by past acne. For laser light therapy to be effective on acne, you need to have no open wounds during the sessions. This treatment is all about timing.

Light Scarring

Scarring is damaged tissue that hardens under the skin, creating abnormal pockets, caved in and sagging skin. Laser light therapy can help break up the tissue and tighten the sagging skin. Over a few sessions, you can see the scar is lightening or removed. With dark scars, the laser therapy helps remove the extra pigment in that area.

Regardless of the condition you want treated, laser light therapy can help you find the results you're looking for in a safe, non-invasive way.
