The Laser Light Therapy is a treatment that has received FDA approval for acne treatment and for reducing signs of aging on the skin. The Laser Light Therapy is soft on the skin and will not destroy the skin cells, but will penetrate it to reduce acne formation and the wrinkling of the skin. The Laser Light Therapy can be applied in patients with dark skin tones, but may have some side effects.
Effects of Laser Light Therapy on Dark Skin Tones
The Laser Light Therapy can be used in patients that have dark skin tones. The Laser Light Therapy will be applied in the same manner as in patients with other skin types. The laser beams will penetrate the surface of the skin and will work on the middle layers, stimulating the collagen in the skin. This can result in an improved texture, less visible wrinkles and acne elimination in the long run.
The side effects of Laser Light Therapy in patients with dark skin tones may be similar to the side effects in patients with other skin types (i.e. skin flaking, swelling and redness). However, dark skinned patients may experience a slight depigmentation, which will be only temporary.
