Are you suffering from skin problems? What treatments have you tried? Did they work?

Encountering or hearing about few of many skin problems like pigmentation, acne, sun damage in itself prod us to admit defeat. Well that’s not a kind of personage we have to have while going through a problem or any skin problem.

You probably already know about the many applications of laser and other light-based technologies in the cosmetic/aesthetic industry: they’re employed for everything from managing hair loss to body hair removal, tattoo removal and body contouring, and are fiercely feuding away other invasive as well as non-invasive skin procedures by way of efficacy and safety.

Here we discuss in detail about the procedure, use, work & benefits of laser skin toning procedure.

 

What is “Laser Toning”?

Laser Toning / LimeLightLaser toning is an easy, effective treatment which addresses multiple skin issues and cosmetic concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, freckles, acne scarring, blotchy skin, and sun damage. The dermatologist and specialist skin surgeons utilize the method as non-ablative procedure that makes it suitable for all skin types and that where patients are allowed to resume to their normal routine immediately after the treatment. The procedure is proven to deliver immensely satisfactory outcomes by smoothing, plumping, clarifying and replenishing your skin.

 

How is Laser Toning Beneficial for Skin Problems?

Here is how the lasers have been improved for the benefits of certain cosmetic corrections and skin conditions.

We all are blessed with beautiful and soft skin, but aging inevitably takes its detriment on all of us! Though for some early, some with time and for the fortunate ones it’s delayed.

In spite of that, it’s not always aging but also the other factors like environmental factors pollution, exposure to UV rays, hormonal changes, and improper skin care regime that cause pigmentation problems.

Laser toning treatments is worth the treatment of adamant pigmentation issues by targeting low energy using the Q Switched laser which results in reduction of the melanin in the superficial layers of the skin. Thus, improving pigment disorders. Moreover, the laser also aids in triggering the collagen and elastic in the skin, meanwhile reawakening the skin texture whether at the top of the surface or deep in the dermal layers.

Laser toning is often used to treat a hard-to-handle skin problem called melasma (or cholasma) that one out of five Japanese women are said to have. The treatment is also efficacious in cases of macules, freckles, and eye bags that are propelled by under-eye skin pigmentation. A distinctive laser irradiation (the latest top-beam) obstructs the superfluous formation of melanin deposits while correcting the brown eye bags.

Another calibre that laser toning is entitled to be of almost negligible downtime that allow patient to immediately drive back to home/office or return to daily activities. Some people develop only a little redness in the affected areas post procedure and can wear makeup right after the treatment. A little ago or even so now with many other cosmetic procedures, the treatment of melasma used to take as long as two to three years to produce any positive results. Laser toning dramatically molded both the standard and time period of the treatment.

Addressing skin and pigmentary irregularities with lasers or light based treatments may also ‘aid n abet’ in avoiding the passé, chemical-charged skin “bleaching” creams, as these latest, high-tech devices are now being used to bawl-out melasma, acne, hyperpigmentation, and other common skin concerns.

Laser Toning enhances the appearance of the skin in both the short term and the long run. The procedure results in instant rejuvenation of the face, neck, hands and décolleté because it plumps, softens and clarifies the skin. Laser toning also encourages sub-dermal collagen production so that skin color, texture, and tone continue to improve long after your specialist’s appointment.

Regular laser toning have the goodness of subsiding surface flaws like fine lines, wrinkles, freckles, pigmentation and/or imperfections incited by conditions like acne, pimples, and rosacea, broken blood vessels, and refine enlarged pores. Laser Toning, can be considered as a medical facial being conducted regularly for superior maintenance of skin’s health and beauty. One of the worthiness of the laser/light based toning treatment is being solely in safe hands of an expert dermatologist or skin specialist/surgeon.

FLASH FACTS

• Laser Toning is effective & safe for all skin types.
• The treatment is superficially painless, though most patients may feel a sensation of heat as the laser wand goes over the skin.

Lasers are the way of worthiness to blast away melasma, hyperpigmentation, improving acne scars, and other common skin concerns.

 

The Procedure

The procedure for Laser skin toning is a simple one that incorporates Q switched lasers using the a quasi long pulse mode, termed as Genesis mode to typically “heat” the skin and “promote” the production of collagen which aids in collagen revamping and also the correction in the appearance of fine lines and open pores. Furthermore, the toning mode (low energy and large spot size and) assists in conveying the pigment producing cells or the melanocytes to “relax” through a mechanism of subcellular selective photothermolysis of the pigment producing cell or the melanocyte (typically subtracting melanosome/ pigment granule production and its transport to the skin by the way of the pigment producing cell). This also buildsup for a cosmetic correction procedure that is safe as the pigment producing cell and is not fully destroyed as it’s just informed to “relax”. We at use the newest, state of the art Q switched machine to provide laser toning.

Before beginning the treatment, the doctor may apply a local topical analgesic or lidocaine to the skin in order to minimize discomfort during the procedure, but most patients don’t experience any substantial pain. Howbeit, it is usual for the skin to feel warm to the touch instantly after the session is complete. Topical local anesthetics essentially take 30 minutes to remain in effect.

 

How the Skin Laser Toning Works?

As opposed to the classical laser skin resurfacing treatments, laser toning is conducted utilizing non-ablative lasers, which functions by heating up the targeted tissue without really demolishing it. The laser functions by heating the upper dermis, close to the surface of the skin, for the highly evident outcomes. The laser’s heat aims at the dermis layer, which produces collagen. This makes for what dermatologists call a ‘controlled thermal injury,’ stimulating a natural reactivity in the body to produce more amount of collagen and elastin. Because of the laser’s built-in cooling system created to safeguard the skin from plausible damage, the patient is protected to feel the heat on the surface of the skin. As this area is incited, it confronts increase in collagen production, decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and the sebaceous glands are pushed to contract. This also helps to control any active acne the receiver may have.

After completion of the procedure, the body’s immune system processes surplus pigmentation and remainder particles to steer clear of discolouration. Isn’t it coming to fruition? It is surely.

It is worth noting that the thermal injury is not recommended in certain cases, namely for people with darker skin, as it can lead to scarring and discolouration. As per a research, the use of lasers for melasma must be taken into account when all other modalities have failed. However, with the introduction and improvement of high-tech technologies and of course the skill set of the specialist, the level of efficacy of lasers over a wide range of skin types has shown promising outcomes.

Some of the most famously effective laser toning options include the picosecond, nanosecond, and Laser Genesis systems. Why these techniques are popular is because of the fewer complications they cause.

There is essentially NO pre-treatment needed for laser toning, though some dermatologists may prescribe their patients to stay away from sun exposure for a few days beforehand.

 

What shall you expect?

It is a safe, painless and effective skin correction treatment though patients may experience a sensation of heat when the laser hand piece passes over the skin following the procedure. Since it is a non-ablative treatment thereby it causes NO damage to the skin. Further, No swelling or bruising means patients can have an on-going way of living their life right after the treatment. Outside of some mild discomfort that can be explained as a tingling sensation, patients might not have any inconvenience during the procedure. One basically needs 4-6 sessions of toning which can productively work for not only the face but other body parts as well. What’s amazing about the wonder laser wand hovering is that the hair on the face also goes through a bleaching effect and falls off further offering a brighter, tighter and softer effect to the skin, which one looks for.

The provider may treat skin imperfections either individually like frown on the forehead under eye bags, lip area, wrinkles or treat whole face.

Treating only the small facial areas generally takes about 30 to 45 minutes. A full-face laser toning treatment may take up to 2 hours.

The treated areas will be bandaged by the specialist in Follow up laser procedure. After 24 hours, regular cleaning in the treated areas for about 4-5 times a day is required and an ointment like a petroleum jelly is applied to prevent forming of scabs.

 

What Happens After the Treatment?

A little redness may develop on the face after undergoing laser treatment for skin toning. The areas with moles or dark spots may become red. However, specialist does not restrict from putting up makeup right after the treatment.

 

Number of Treatments Needed

The number of treatments needed primarily depends on specific skin type and concerns. Each laser or light based toning treatment takes around 10 to 30 minutes. Typically, multiple treatments are required to achieve the expected result. When employed for the treatment of active acne, the laser must be utilised regularly to control the sebaceous glands.

For the whole face, 3 to 4 treatments in total, on once a month basis are recommended. Almost all non-ablative laser treatment options need several sessions — essentially between 4 and 7 treatments on whole.

 

Recovery and Results

Treatment with laser for skin toning results in evenly textured, soft and plump skin that appears free from certain signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, freckles , brown spots, eye bags, enlarged pores, redness and other concerns. Toning treatments with the laser are quite effective for reducing fine lines around the mouth and eyes, and acne scarring. The treatments can also be used regularly to manage acne and maintain a rejuvenated, renewed skin and complexion.

The outcomes of this treatment are typically more visibly dramatic than those of exfoliating procedures like microdermabrasion that makes it favourable for people not willing to getting scratched to look soft and supple. But laser toning is less than those of laser skin resurfacing.

“LASER” is basically an acronym for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation,” and applies to equipments that form a single wavelength of light. Whereas, Intense Pulse Light (IPL) procedures are less targeted than lasers, and gleam multiple wavelengths over a larger area.

While both these approaches utilise light-based energy to manage common skin concerns, different hand pieces or devices are used to target particular skin types and conditions. For example, IPL based systems can be employed effectively by an experienced dermatologist for the treatment of capillary malformations and pigmented lesions. However, medical providers will in some cases prefer fractional lasers over IPL to obtain the same goals.

 

Who is a candidate?

This treatment is an exemplary solution for people struggling with cosmetic concerns like open/enlarged pores, age spots, pigment disorders, blotchy skin, tanned skin or uneven skin tone etc. Saving your skin from many internal and external brutalities, laser toning helps improving the appearance on the skin and provides immediate replenishment or “radiance” to the face, neck, hands and décolleté. Laser toning encourages production of sub-dermal collagen that helps to aids in improvement of the skin tone & texture.

 

What all can Laser toning do for skin’s integrity?

With the new, innovative & improved technologies, many skin issues and ailments can be treated using Laser therapy. The varied skin conditions and diseases that can be successfully and safely treated with Laser therapy includes:

• Aging skin issues, such as fine lines, wrinkles, freckles or age spots on the face
• Skin tightening
• uneven skin color, tone & texture
• Acne scars
• Birthmarks
• Dry, droopy eyelid skin
• Pucker marks and frown lines
• Dark circles and under eye bags
• Improve crow’s feet around the eyes and deep smile lines around the mouth
• Smokers’ lines
• Unwanted Hair Removal

 

What all are the applications of Laser toning?

There are an umpteen of clinical applications when it comes to treating skin with Laser toning. The list is listed below:

 

Melasma

In past sometime, laser toning or laser facial to treat melasma has become increasingly well-received by doctors and receivers, especially in Asia. It is normal to see people undergoing lasers for different skin concerns, one mainly being Melasma.

Epidermal melasma in a part of a growing trend has reported to respond well and faster than the dermal or mixed melasma. Complete clearing of lesions apprehended in more than 60% of cases for epidermal melasma. Complete clearing of dermal or mixed melasma is reported in about 30-50% of cases, while the remaining cases observed with mild to moderate improvement. Rebound melasma and Post inflammatory hyper pigmentation are harrowing complexities that may take place in a candidate with super sensitive skin. Lower laser energy and lesser laser repetitions are apt to provide marked improvement. That said, sustainability in improvement is needed by repeated sessions since recurrence is NOT unusual in melasma.

Non-ablative laser is considered appropriate in treatment of melasma and skin rejuvenation by way of Laser toning. On the other hand, High-frequency energy selective laser, for example, 1064 nm Q-switched NdYAG laser, 755 nm Q-switched alexandrite laser, 694 nm, Q-switched ruby laser, 532 nm frequencies doubled Q-switched NdYAG laser, had been scrutinized with inadequate results for treatment of melasma. Normal skin color is hardly achieved.

 

Tattoo Removal by Lasers

Although Q-switched Ruby and Q-switched alexandrite lasers have been the extensively employed lasers for tattoos since the very old times, Q-switched NdYAG 1064 nm, due to its far reaching wavelength, higher fluence, and shorter pulse, has emerged to be as an exemplary laser for the black and dark blue tattoo pigment. The most visible alterations in scarring, hyper pigmentation and skin texture in comparison to older lasers are markedly low. That said, for different colored pigments, use of different wavelengths is crucial. Response of laser toning particularly with Q-switched 1064 nm depends on the kind of tattoo one has got like:

 

Professional Tattoos

These kinds of tattoos generally have even distribution of ink pigment, mainly in subcutaneous tissue. Moreover, ink quality used in professional tattoos is also superior; therefore, 4-6 treatments sessions are usually required.

 

Cosmetic Tattoos

Cosmetic tattoos like scalp, eyebrows, eyelash edging, lip or lip line are chiefly made of iron-based inks. This can sometimes heat up and turn black, so a prior test patch must be given. Laser toning is targeted in the area of removal and clearance can come into view within 5-9 treatments.

 

Amateur Tattoos

These types of tattoos are usually quite easy to remove, do not generally need multiple lasers, but in few cases, if the ink is penetrated in the skin at deeper level, a couple of extra sittings could stand in need of.

 

Non Ablative Skin Resurfacing for Wrinkles and Acne Scars

Q-switched NdYAG laser at1064 nm offers for a latest technology and a better responsive treatment that aids in treatment of wrinkles and scars deeply entrenched & glued in the skin. Laser toning is in reality being extensively used by the dermatologist for resurfacing of skin because of its unique technique that lay off adequate energy to puncture in deeply without injuring the top layer of skin. The deep dermis is thereby elicited to produce natural collagen and other key proteins that make up for healthy, youthful or rekindled skin. The procedure is painlessly and comfortably completed in about 15 minutes. A patient may develop mild redness that will pass away within a few hours later. After 4-6 sessions, undertaken at monthly intervals, wrinkles start to smoothen out and skin gets soft and tight. Therefore, it is also regarded to as laser skin toning. It is a more appropriate cosmetic option for correcting skin imperfections like acne scars, stretch marks, wrinkles without difficult procedures, risk of injury and elongated recovery time as compared to surgical options or even Botox injections etc.

The Q-switched lasers are the gold excellence virtue for treatment of tattoos.

Medium Depth Non Ablative Skin Resurfacing method utilizes a wavelength doubled 532 nm, i.e., 1064 Q switched laser that is actually a conventionally customary technology for treating photo-aging. When utilized at lower level fluences with a larger spot size, it is a medium depth laser peel, with minimal downtime and higher patients’ satisfaction. Even so,, because of the on-going risk of post inflammatory pigment alterations in Asian skins, it should be only done after a patch test and pre-conditioned sun protection advised to the patient.

 

Pigmented Lesions and Dermal pigmented lesions

Mongolian spots that are blue in color like bruises and other flat pigmented birthmarks like moles, lait spots counter well to laser toning. The Nd:YAG lasers of 1064 nm of wavelength performs ideally for dermal pigmented lesion conditions. There is multiple treatment sessions usually required with near-complete blasting away of the lesion in most cases.

While the epidermal lesions respond well to 532 nm of wavelength, (frequency half the NdYAG) the dermal lesions are better treated with 1064 nm.

 

Freckles

Laser toning using Carbon Dioxide Laser (Co2) was however first introduced during the late ’60s but is still being effectively used for skin rejuvenation and freckles responds well to this laser treatment. Howbeit, due to its possible side effects, it has greatly been replaced with fractional mode lasers, which has relatively fewer complications and heals faster. But it is not suitable for darker skin tones. The laser at fractional mode promotes collagen production for skin tightening that helps rectifying the saggy skin. Other skin conditions that can be treated includes skin cancer, skin tags, warts, moles, birthmarks, deep set wrinkles, sun damage, corns on feet, acne scars, and other scarring saggy skin.

Though, quite & effective, risk of dys-pigmentation persists

 

Lentigines

It usually take just 1-2 sessions to clear off lentigines with laser at 532 nm of frequency.Though, quite effective, there remains a risk of hyper pigmentation that demands avoidance of sun exposure for about a month post laser toning.

 

Cafe-au lait macules

It is a condition that is characterized by a coffee-milk mixed pigmented skin that is present since the birth and increases in size overtime. It occurs due to genetic disorders. Treatment of Cafe-au lait macules lasers is quite successful and can be treated substantially in 1-2 sessions, but recurrence is anticipated which requires multiple treatments.

 

Vascular Lesions

Medlite laser has shown to be quite advantageous in treating vascular lesions like small spider veins, cherry angiomas and nevi telangiectasia. Characterized by proportional growth and plausible fast growth in the setting of infection, trauma or hormonal irregularity, vascular lesions or malformations are congenital, meaning that they are present at birth. More than one laser session will be required. Though the treatment is associated with the risk factor of causing purpura— that can occur in some cases, which could take up to 7-20 days to die away.

 

Rosacea and Redness

Most commonly & frequently caused by spider veins also known as telangiectasias, Rosacea is characterized by bright redness on the affected area. Specific lasers and cooling devices can be used to annihilate these injured blood vessels on the nose and cheeks. The dermatologist recommends certain types of lasers that can help with treating rosacea, but take a warning simultaneously those treatments may actually cause rosacea to worsen. Due to the reason rosacea sufferers are more possibly to experience adverse reactions to some skincare treatment, therapies, should only be provided by highly experienced & trained professionals. Oral medications and topical treatments ( Azelaic Acid – anti-inflammatory gel) are advised by the dermatologist in pairing up with laser toning treatment for better counter to reducing inflammation, clearing breakouts and controlling lesions, swelling or bumps that may occur.

 

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

A skin condition of epidermal pigmentation commonly referred to as PIH, usually come into existence following an injury, inflammatory lesion, burn, or skin defect. The condition is perceived to be more common in people of African American or Hispanic ancestry, although technically it come about on any skin type. There are particular lasers, wavelengths, intensity and cooling devices, can be used to treat PIH. Many dermatologists advise combining the laser or light based treatments with topical lightening creams for the optimum results.

 

Dark circles

In extension to laser toning or light based treatment, it could be technically effective to combine dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, for people having largely hollow under-eye circles. For obvious reasons, patients as well as providers alike should wear specialized protective eyewear to stave off irrevocable eye damage during light-based treatments.

 

Dark spots

If you’re observing brown spots or dark pigmented spots on your face that are nowhere linked with melasma, PIH or another skin condition, they are likely be caused by excessive sun damage or UV exposure. An appropriate laser light based treatment can optimally fade or slaughter these dark spots away. Expert aesthetic specialists and dermatologist’s advice on the use of ruby lasers for such applications, but various viable laser and light therapy options are also available.

 

Dark Lips

Dark lip in some case is a genetic disorder or is present at the time of birth but most commonly (95%) is a cosmetic issue that is initiated with excessive smoking, unhealthy eating habit, flawed cosmetic products and improper skin care practice. This is actually a problem the larger part of Asian skin is bothered about. An approx of 2-sessions of Q-switched at 532 nm would be an appropriate treatment for lip lightening.

 

Laser-assisted Hair Reduction

Although the long-pulsed lasers are considered as the benchmark for the removal of terminal hair, Q-switched laser has also been conducted with and without topical carbon suspension. A Q-switched pulse forms a photomechanical impact not only on the tissue but also on hair shaft and hair follicle and, thereby, causing decrease as well as delay in hair growth process on the face as well as whole body. Since it is independent of color, it makes for an apt treatment for all skin types, even on sun tanned skins without fearing of pigment alterations.

 

Is Laser Skin Toning Treatment Safe?

Laser alike other aesthetic/cosmetic procedures carry some amount of risk. Ablative laser and light-based treatments can prompt cold sores, infections, cysts, milia (small white protruded cysts of superficial skin), or darkening of the skin (specifically if revealed to the sun after surgery).

Non-ablative techniques can result in impermanent blisters, skin darkening (hyper pigmentation), and damage to the eyes from laser exposure.

However, with advancing technology, there are introduced some innovative types of lasers being used for various skin issues and skin types. And with a wide variety of laser skin treatments available, it is hard to zero in on the one that will make promise for you. So, what should be your priority before plummeting in for laser toning treatment is TO consult an experienced dermatologist for finalizing the treatment plan, tailor-made for you!

 

Can Laser toning be aborted in between?

There are several complications that are temporary reactions of the treatment but do not generally require termination of the treatment. These complications are as follows:-

• Acneiform eruption ( cluster of dermatoses including folliculitis, acne vulgaris, perioral dermatitis, rosacea)
• Immediate erythema (skin redness either in restricted area or all over)
• Rebound hyper pigmentation or Ochronosis
• Physical urticaria (form of hives triggered by specific stimuli such as cold, heat, vibration or pressure)
• Minute petechiae (pinhead sized spots caused by blood leakage into skin due to capillaries broke open)
• Whitening of fine hair

Then there are some complications that need either ending of the laser/light treatment or modifications of laser parameters. They are as follows:

• Leukoderma ( irreversible loss of skin color in blotches)
• Severe acneiform eruption
• Severe urticaria
• Herpes simplex activation (virus causing contagious sores, most often on the genitals & around mouth)
• Mottled hyper or hypo pigmentation
• Scarring and Ghost shadows can occur with tattoo removal treatment at higher fluencies.

 

Pre and Post treatment care?

To enhance the efficacy of laser treatment and optimality of final outcomes, pairing it with following procedures can work pleasingly well:

• Use of Topical sunscreen (at least SPF 30, every 2 hours particularly when out)
• Long pulsed /Deep pulsed light lasers
• Chemical peels (Glycolic acid or Jessner’s peels)
• Microdermabrasion
• Topical bleaching agents, for example, Arbutin, and Kligman’s 7% formula
• Intralesional tranexamic acid (5 mg/ml)
• Take an extra pillow during sleep at night to ease off swelling.

Laser toning process can actually turn out to be quite fruition once the correct course of treatment of criterion is chosen by a highly trained and experienced dermatologist or skin specialist. After a laser toning procedure, most patients need NO significant aftercare and can resume to normal activities immediately afterwards. However, patients must avoid direct sun exposure for at least four to six weeks after procedure and if out should ‘by no chance’ forget to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30.

Take care NOT to irritate the skin with harsh or exfoliating cleansers.

However in conditions of freckles & melasma, recurrence is likely to happen. The most literal complications exhibited with the laser/light procedures of pigmented lesions are hyper or hypo pigmentation. If hypo pigmentation develops, the treatment fluence should be decreased and the interval should be doubled. If hypo pigmentation is dotted, this necessitates for aborting the treatment and heading for a medical line of treatment (topical & oral) like azelaic acid, kojic acid etc.

Avoid Hydroquinone-containing preparations. After duration of 2-3 months, once the hypo pigmentation adjourns, laser toning therapy can begin again at a lower fluence (less than 2.5 J/cm 2). Temporary edema, erythema and urticaria are transient reactions and dissolves in a few hours.

 

Types of Cosmetic Lasers used in application of Skin Rejuvenation Treatment

A huge range of light-based treatments are advertised as skin toning lasers. However, not all of these are lasers in the real sense. Ambiguity spurs up when Lasers & Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments are referred to interchangeably by uneducated or misguided technicians.

Let’s know about the various cosmetic lasers and what skin conditions they are best capable o treat.

 

Ablative Lasers:

Under this procedure, an intense wavelength of light is targeted directly into the skin, which eliminates the outer layers of aged or sun damaged skin. Laser triggers the concealed skin, leading to collagen production and improvement in wrinkles, acne or chicken pox scars. After completing laser resurfacing, a medicated lotion and dressing is applied to the skin. Once the skin heals post procedure, new skin forms that is softer and tighter.

 

Non-Ablative Laser:

On contrary to ablative technologies that heats and discards the top skin tissue, non-ablative also referred to as non-wounding laser functions beneath the surface skin layer. It promotes collagen formations and tightens the underlying skin to enhance the skin tone & texture. It also helps in removing fine lines and mild to moderate skin damage.

Non-Ablative Laser-based treatments are of the following types:

 

Pulsed Dye Laser:

It treats the skin by straightaway targeting the blood vessels causing them to shrink, making the skin less red. Feeling like a rubber band snap, can be used anywhere on the face and body, requiring approximately 3 to 5 sessions of treatment. Best thing is that it provides results that are permanent. Healing time is just a few hours, during which the redness dissolves.

Most common Skin Conditions treatable are broken birthmarks, capillaries, rosacea, spider veins, vascular lesions, stretch marks, and fine lines around the eyes.

Temporary complication in form of pigmentation and little bruising may occur.

 

Nd: Yag Laser:

Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet is a crystal that is used as a medium of laser for solid-state lasers. This radiate wavelength of high energy light, which when targeted on a specific skin condition, creates heat and kills the diseased cells.

It is helpful in treating Skin like skin pigmentation problems, pigmented lesions, vascular lesions, spider veins, tattoo removal and hair removal.

With Nd:Yag, there is a high chance of recurrence in case of vascular lesions.

 

Alexandrite Laser:

This laser ejects out wavelength of high energy light that is transformed to heat energy. This leads to causing damages to the particular target area. The selected tissue area is destructed by Alexandrite laser utilizing the process of photothermolysis, which means utilizing light (photo) to heat (thermo). Alexandrite lasers cause absolutely exact tissue destruction of the lesion and leave the surrounding tissue area undamaged.

The treatable Skin Conditions using Alexandrite laser includes hair removal, tattoo removal birthmarks, pigmentations, pigmented lesions and leg veins. It is also useful to treat brown spots due to sun damage. Though fast & effective, this laser can cause changes in pigmentation, particularly if in inexperience hands.

 

Light-Based Treatments

The light-based treatments are also effective for the treatment and cure of skin problems. Though they are not exactly similar to laser treatments, but are matching in terms of purpose and outcome.

Some of the Light based treatments are:

• Intensed Pulsed Light (IPL)
• Photo Facial
• Pulsed Dye Lasers
• Pearl by Cutera
• Portrait
• Radiofrequency
• Ultrasound Imaging

Why do we need HydraFacial MD®?

About

Skin is the largest organ of the body. Every day our skin is exposed to free radicals (i.e. unstable molecules) like pollution, sun, and stress which damage the vital skin cells like collagen and elastin that keep us fresh and young.
One of the most damaging of these free radicals is the sun’s rays.

Antioxidants counterattack the free radical damage by trapping and containing them, preventing any further damage to our skin thereby revitalizing and protecting it.

 

What does the Process Involve?

Process

 

Deep Cleaning & Exfoliate

HydraFacial MD cleanses & exfoliates the skin by using a hydra dermabrasion machine to cleanse the skin.

Extraction

The system includes a hand-held device that vacuums out pores and dead skin cells while simultaneously delivering a stream of cleansing solution into the pores.

The advantage of using Hydrafacial over traditional cleansing methods is that it is gentle enough to be used on sensitive skin, and it can also be used on people with acne or other skin conditions.

Hydrate

After the dead skin cells are removed, a hydrating solution is applied to the skin. This helps to plump and hydrate the skin cells, giving them a healthy boost.

 

Enhance & personalize Hydrafacial MD with Boosters

The Hydrafacial MD treatment can be customized to target specific concerns, such as:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone
• or congested pores

Boosters are an important part of the Hydrafacial MD treatment because they help to address specific concerns and give the skin an extra boost of hydration.

 

There are four main types of boosters:

• Brightening
• Firming
• Nourishing

Brightening boosters contain ingredients like vitamin C and licorice root extract to help brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots.

Firming boosters contain peptides and other ingredients to help tighten and lift the skin.

Nourishing boosters contain hyaluronic acid and other nutrients to help hydrate and plump the skin.

Purifying boosters contain salicylic acid or other ingredients to help clear congestion and reduce the appearance of pores.

A Hydrafacial for the scalp can be beneficial for many reasons.

• For one, it can help to improve blood circulation and encourage hair growth.
• Additionally, it can deep clean the scalp and remove any build-up of oils or toxins that could be causing hair loss.
• Furthermore, a Hydrafacial can help to exfoliate the scalp and get rid of dead skin cells that could be clogging follicles and preventing hair from growing.

Ultimately, a Hydrafacial for the scalp can help to give you a healthy head of hair!

 

Hydrafacial for Lips

Lips

If you’re looking for a way to hydrate and plump your lips, a Hydrafacial may be the answer.

This popular facial treatment uses a special device to deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin, while also infusing it with hydrating serums.

While Hydrafacial is typically done on the face, now the procedure is becoming popular for lips, neck & scalp too.

A lip Hydrafacial begins with a thorough cleansing of the lips, using a special brush head on the Hydrafacial device. This helps to remove any dead skin cells or debris that may be present on lips.

Next, a light exfoliation is performed, using glycolic acid or another gentle exfoliating agent. This helps to further improve the texture of the lips.

After the exfoliation step, a hydrating serum is applied to the lips. This can be done manually or with the help of the Hydrafacial device. The serum helps to replenish lost moisture and plump up the lips.

Finally, a protective barrier is applied to help lock in all of the hydration.

If you’re looking for softer, smoother, and more hydrated lips, a lip Hydrafacial may be right for you.

 

Hydrafacial versus Microdermabrasion

Hydrafacial and microdermabrasion are both popular treatments for improving the appearance of your skin. But which one is right for you?

Hydrafacial is an advanced method that uses a special device to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin. It can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and more.

Microdermabrasion uses a handheld device to sand away the top layer of your skin. This can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and more.

Both Hydrafacial and Microdermabrasion can provide significant results but no doubt Hydrafacial MD definitely has an edge over Microdermabrasion.

So, which one is right for you? The best way to decide is to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or aesthetician who can assess your specific needs and recommend the best treatment for you.

 

Why Hydrafacial is better than regular Facials?

Comparison

Hydrafacials are a newer, more advanced type of facial than the traditional kind. They offer many benefits that regular facials cannot match.

Hydrafacials use a powerful cleansing system that can remove all the dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin much more effectively than regular facials.

They also include a special exfoliation process that helps to get rid of dead skin cells and reveal healthy, glowing skin underneath.

In addition, Hydrafacials provide a deep hydration treatment that leaves your skin looking and feeling refreshed and radiant. Hydrafacial can be personalized by adding booster serums which are selected as per the skin type or the requirement.

These serums penetrate deeper into the skin to enhance the results which is not possible with regular facials.

Finally, they also include a relaxing massage that further promotes circulation and leaves you feeling completely pampered.

So, in any case, Hydrafacial treatment is far superior to regular facials.

Get the Best White Patches/Vitiligo Treatment in Delhi & Leucoderma Treatment in Delhi

Our advanced aesthetic treatments for vitiligo have been the best in the capital with proven results. We’ve had dealt with people who had years old of vitiligo and now they are leading an esteemed life. The Head Dr. Rohit Batra of Derma World, a well known skin and hair specialist in West Delhi provides vitiligo treatment in Delhi for major and minor vitiligo, child vitiligo, vitiligo on hands, wrist, neck, back, lips, etc.

 

Intro

Vitiligo is a skin disorder that causes white patches on the skin. Under this kind of pigmentation disorder, cells that make pigment (melanocytes) in the skin are destroyed. Owing to this, white patches start appearing on the skin in different parts of the body. The effects of Vitiligo depend on individuals, and the white patches may appear anywhere in the body. The most common areas affected by Vitiligo are inside the mouth, around the nose, rectal areas, and nostrils. The same patches also appear on the mucous membranes (tissues which line the inner part of the mouth and nose) as well as the retina (inner layer of the eyeball).

Though it is not as harmful as other life-threatening diseases, it is a long-term skin problem that is identified when skin losses the normal color.

Sometimes, people get white patches on the areas of the skin which are exposed to the sun. Though it can happen to anybody regardless of race, gender, and age, it is more noticeable in people with dark skin.

 

Fast Facts on Vitiligo

There are many myths and confusion around the vitiligo, and many people who are suffering from the disease are stigmatized. These facts will help you understand the condition more clearly.

• Vitiligo does not spread by direct contact. It is not contagious in nature.
• This skin disorder happens to anyone regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity.
• It is a lifelong health condition.
• The cause of Vitiligo is still not known, but some researches point to the autoimmune disorder to be the cause of this problem.
• The common treatment options that are applied for the severe cases are – exposure to UVA or UVB lights.
• Vitiligo is different from Albinism, a skin disease where people are born with white patches on the skin because they have melanin cells which do not produce pigment. Whereas people suffering from Vitiligo have working melanin cells that stop producing pigment in future.

 

How is Vitiligo Activiated in The Skin?

When the cells that produce pigment (color) die, the white patches will appear on the skin that is in a medical term called Vitiligo. The destruction of the melanocytes (the skin pigmented cells) is the real cause of this skin disorder.

As we all know, the melanin determines the color of our skin. So, when it gets affected, the cells stop producing the color and white skin appears in blotches. The degree of the effects of the disease depends on individuals.

The affected portions are generally photosensitive (sensitive to the sun exposure). Whether the patches will spread or not depends on the type of Vitiligo, one is suffering from.

 

Symptoms

Symptoms of Vitiligo are visible as white patches appear on the skin. As per doctors and scientists, vitiligo affects the areas first that are exposed to the sun, such as hands, feet, arms, and lips. The other parts of the body where white patches can appear are the groin and armpits, and near the mouth, nostrils, navel, genitals and rectum.

• Loss of skin color in patches.
• Whitening or graying of hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard prematurely.
• The retina (the inner layer of your eye) will also lose or change color.

The affected area by this skin disorder completely depends on the type of vitiligo you are suffering from. It also determines whether the discoloration will continue or stop forming.

 

Causes of Vitiligo

Vitiligo happens when the melanin-producing cells stop working, resulting in the discoloration of the skin. Though the definite cause of the skin disorder is unknown, there are some factors that involve in affecting the work of melanocytes.

When there are some changes happened in the immune system, it can trigger the issues like vitiligo. Doctors also back the theory and consider that the changes in the immune system will be the real reason for this problem.

 

Immunity System

The gene variations that influence the work of immune system or melanocytes have roles to play in causing vitiligo. When thevariations attack the immune systems and melanocytes mistakenly, the white patches occur.

 

Heredity

The disease can be passed down to you if your family members have this problem.

 

Autoimmune Diseases

Some autoimmune diseases such as hyperthyroidism, alopecia areata, and pernicious anemia can cause this problem.

 

Other causes of this problem are

Some other factors or environmental conditions will also trigger the skin disease such as sunburn, stress, and an exposure to industrial chemicals.

 

Types of Vitiligo

Vitiligo is divided into two primary types – segmental and non-segmental.

 

Segmental vitiligo

If the patches only appear on the one side or segment of the body, it is called segmental vitiligo. This type of vitiligo causes to the people at an early age and expands for a few years.

 

Non-segmental vitiligo

When both sides of the body are affected by the discoloration issue, this comes under the type of non-segmental vitiligo. This is a common type and nearly 90% of patients are suffering from this. The affected areas expand with time as the short-lived burst discoloration grew with the new pigment-losing cells. This type of vitiligo progresses life-long. The common areas where this type of vitiligo appears are back of the hands, arms, eyes, knees, elbows, feet, mouth, nose and more.

Non-segmental vitiligo is further fragmented into a few types, depending on the areas of the discoloration of the cells.

• Generalized: as the name says, it is the most common among all types and has no certain area where patches appear.
• Acrofacial: white patches will appear on the fingers and toes.
• Mucosal: it triggers on the mucuous membranes and lips.
• Universal: the rare type of vitiligo that covers the most portion of the body.
• Focal: white patches scatter in one or a few discrete areas. Generally, young children suffer from this issue.

 

Treatments

There is no complete cure for this skin disorder, but treatments are prescribed in order to improve the condition of the discolored skin. Physicians consult with the patients thoroughly and examine the skin condition in the best possible way. Different types of vitiligo need a specific treatment which aims at treating the reason of the problem. For example, if one losses color in the eye and the ear, a specialist of those organs must treat the problem.

 

Medication

Some tropical creams work better for boosting the immune system and controlling the inflammation. They also help to start pigmenting the cells that improve the appearance of the discoloration. The results are even visible when these creams are applied in combination with the ultraviolet lights. Though it is effective, it has some adverse effects. So, use this therapy for the small discolored area, and it is not applicable for those who are suffering from white patches all over the body.

 

Other Drugs treatment includes

• Cortico steroids
• Levamisole
• Placental Extract
• Dapsone

 

NB-UVB

Narrowband UVB light or phototherapy is considered to be an efficient method for treating this skin disorder. Doctors often prescribe the treatment when discoloration covers more than 20% of the body. This is comparably a slow process and starts from the outer layer of the skin and gradually grows inward. Generally, this treatment needs to be done twice a week, but it takes nearly one year to get the result. The equipment used in this therapy is well-tested before it is applied to the patients. Both children and adult can tolerate this treatment procedure.

 

Laser – Excimer Laser

If cells that stop producing pigments are stimulated in a right way, they can start producing pigment and treat vitiligo efficiently. The excimer laser uses the noble gas and reactive gas together that enhances the treatment. 308-nm excimer laser in an effective modality will treat the discoloration problem and stimulate the cells to produce pigment.

 

Surgery

When light therapy fails to work, doctors recommend surgeries. There are a few options that prove to be very effective for treating vitiligo. Some of them are mentioned below.

• Grafting: in this surgical procedure, doctors replace the old depigmented skin with the new skin which is normal and has cells that can produce pigment. When you have small white patches, such treatment will help you. Some possible risks of this treatment are an infection, scarring, spotty colors, and so on.
• Suction Blister: a blister is created on the normal skin by using the suction. Doctors use the top of blister by removing it from that area and transplant it on the discolored portion.
• Tattooing (micropigmentation): doctors implant pigment on the skin using a special surgical instrument. This treatment generally is done for the vitiligo in and around the lip area.
• Melanocytes: doctors implant the melanocytes and keratinocytes (the cells of the outer most layer of the skin) on the discolored area. First, they culture the cell in a lab overnight and then place them surgically on the affected area. It has a high success rate as much as 95%.

 

Who is the best candidate for the treatment?

People who have white blotches on the skin can take help from the vitiligo treatment. Though a complete cure is not guaranteed, some specific treatments will improve the condition of the skin. In most cases, the treatment is effective to start re-pigmenting in the cells. Physicians will check the medical history of the patients who are suffering from vitiligo and examine whether they have thyroid or autoimmune conditions or not. They prescribe treatments according to the type of vitiligo.

 

Is the result 100%?

Vitiligo is such a condition which is hard to treat, but new medical treatments are coming in and improving the treatment procedure a lot. It generally takes time to give you the result. The treatment procedure may extend from 6 months to 2 years, and it is comparably slow. With the modern treatments, the result is more viable than before.

Individuals give different responses to different treatments. When laser therapy works well on some, melanocyte proves very effective in some cases. So, treatment procedure varies to individuals, and so is the result.

 

Duration of the treatment

The duration of the treatment depends on the individuals and their degree of problems. Some people get results within 3 to 6 months, whereas some do not see results even in 8 months. To have a good result, you must wait at least 2 years.

 

After care

Generally, doctors will guide you how to take care of your skin after treatment. You can apply cream and ointment on the affected areas as per the direction of your doctor. Take an extra care when you put creams around your eyes, mouth, and nose. For the light therapy, your skin gets exposed to special lights and it needs careful attention from your part.

It is important for patients to understand the nature and unpredictable course of this disease. A well-balanced nutritious diet with right quantity and quality of vitamins and minerals are essential. Avoid emotional stress, physical & chemical damage to skin, and excessive Vitamin C.

Do not forget to protect your skin from the sun. Use sunscreen, wide brims hats, sunglasses, and clothing that covers the exposed areas.

Overview

Acne scars are a very common skin disease and nearly everyone more or less has this problem. When the skin pours gets swelled with excessive oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, inflamed blemishes occur on the skin which in medical term is called acne scars.

The healing of this scar depends on how deep the breaking is. If it is a shallow scar, then it gets healed easily. But in the case of the deep break, the bacteria of the infected area also damage the surrounding tissue, making the scar even worse. Though skin naturally cures the scar by generating collagen fibers, the new skin will not be as smooth and flawless as you had.

Acne scars are completely treatable and there are many medical methods that help you fade away those blemishes. Dermatologists often prescribe laser treatments, minor skin surgeries, and chemical pills to remove the scars. This problem is more noticeable on the skin of the aged people because they lose the collagen forming power.

Acne Type

Acne happens when the hair follicles get blocked by excessive oil and dead skin cells. Blemishes appear on the skin with the different degree of severity. Here are certain signs and symptoms of acne given below.

• Whiteheads (pored filled with sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria)
• Blackheads (clogged hair follicles cause small bumps on the skin)
• Small red, tender bumps (papules)
• Pimples (pustules)
• Large and painful lumps underneath the skin (nodules)
• Pus-filled lumps beneath the surface of the skin. (cystic lesions)

The severely inflamed acne lesions are more prone to cause scars on the skin even after successful acne treatment. The development of the scar varies. Some people get affected by the hypertrophic scars which occur when body generates excessive collagen to heal the wounds of acne lesion.

Some also have atrophic scars identified as the shallow pitted scar due to a loss of skin tissue. Both problems have different treatments to get rid of it. Consult the dermatologist before the problem gets worsened.

 

4 Types of scars

Acne scars are mainly of four types and they depend on the appearance of the blemishes and their developments. Before starting the treatment process, identifying the right type is essential to apply the most effective cure for this problem.

 

Prick Scars

Ice pick scar is very deep in nature. The name says all about the appearance of the skin problem. Deep holes appear on the skin that seems as if the skin gets punctured with the ice pick. This happens due to the production of the less collagen compared to the necessity. Ice pick scars are caused when infected sebaceous gland open on the skin. Such type of the scar is the most difficult one to heal.

 

Box Scars

Box scars, like an ice pick, are depressed in nature. The appearance of the scar is boxier and broader. Too little collagen formation is also the cause of this scar. It has defined ages and sometimes resembles chicken pox scar.

 

Rolling Scars

Rolling scars have rounded smooth edges and they are also depressed scar. The healing of the scar is different. Often they have a rough texture or wavy appearance.

 

Hypertrophic Scars

Hypertrophic scars appear when the body stops producing collagen at the time of filling the acne wounds. They are a common type of acne scar that people have. It heals over the time and the bumpiness of the scar gets smoothen as the time goes. Though they do not persist for long, it leaves a mark of the wound on the skin.

Who Gets Acne Scars

Though acne is a very common skin problem that everyone more or less has, the acne scars can be caused severely for some people. Below are a few examples where the possibility of causing acne scar is higher.

• Those who have been caught with the inflammatory acne, they are more prone to have acne scars. The swollen or reddish acne goes deep down the skin, causing a severe damage to it.
• In the delay of treating inflammatory acne can cause the scar. The scarring will be higher when one keeps the acne in an untreated condition.
• When you squeeze or pick the acne, then you have a greater tendency to have the acne scar.

These are the few conditions that increase the possibility of acne scars. But it is not possible to say confidently who will develop the problem and who will not. You need undergo a treatment procedure if you really want to get rid of this common skin disease.

 

What causes Acne Scar?

When acne appears on the skin, it not only damages the skin but also affects the tissue beneath it. When your body heals acne, it also tries to repair the damages.

As we all know the science, collagen fiber repairs the damaged skin. The scar will cause when your body has an imbalance collagen production. Too much or too little collagen generation causes the scar on the acne area.

Depending upon the collagen production, the scars are divided into two types – depressed acne scars and raised acne scars.

Depressed Acne Scar:

When the body generates too little collagen as compared to the required amount needed for healing the scar, pits appear on the skin.

Raised acne scar:

Due to the excessive collagen production during the healing of the wounds, a raised acne scar appears. It gives you the feeling of uneven skin issue or bumpiness on the skin.

 

Diagnosis & Treatment of Acne Scars

Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis of the treatment starts with a consultation. Dermatologists will check your skin thoroughly and try to understand the type of the scar you have. Acne scarring will not look good on your skin and often people want to get rid of it. Consult your doctor to know the best way that is very effective in treating your problem.

Generally, dermatologists consider two important factors before starting the treatment – the type of the scar and the area it appears. Since there are two main categories of the acne scar – depressed and raised, different treatment process will be prescribed by doctors.

For depressed acne scar, the options are given below:

Acne scar surgery:

The name of surgeries always gives us fear, but this is the minor one and you should not be worried about it. The only goal of the surgery is to make the scar less noticeable. It only targets the severe ones because the rest will fade away with time. During the surgery, patients stay awake but numb so that they do not feel the pain.

Resurfacing of the skin:

This kind of treatment involves in removing the skin layer, thus allowing the skin to produce new skin cells. The methods that are applied to the skin treatment are – laser skin therapy, chemical peeling, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion.

Skin fillers and tightening:

Skin fillers are the best options for depressed acne scars. The fillers for the treatment used by doctors are collagen, patient’s own body fat, bio fillers and more. It can be temporary or permanent. Skin tightening is considered to be the newest therapy. Dermatologists use the radiofrequency to make your skin tight.

Collagen-induction therapy:

This treatment improves collagen production of the body. A handheld needle-studded roller is moved across the affected area of the skin. It boosts the collagen production, thus repairing the skin so that it gets done easily.

For raised acne scar, the prescribed treatments are mentioned below.

Injection:

As the name suggests, the medicines will directly be injected into the skin to improve the scar condition. How often you need this treatment is determined by the degree of the scar severity. The medicines can be varied, but the common names are corticosteroid and fluorouracil (5-FU).

Acne scar surgery: there are two types of surgeries for treating the acne scar – surgery by injection and surgery by radiation.

Cryosurgery: It freezes the affected tissue that causes to fall off the tissue.

 

Lasers Treatment

Laser treatment is considered to be the best treatment for having a permanent solution to your acne scarring problem. Laser and intense pulsed light penetrate effectively to the top layer of the skin, causing the natural healing power of the body to begin. It produces new collagen and new skin to remove the problem. It is the fastest process among all to remove the blemishes and the scarring.

The type of the treatment depends upon the scars. There are three very types that should be mentioned when it comes to the laser therapy for the acne scarring. The names are mentioned below.

Fractional Laser Therapy:

As the name suggests, it treats only the fraction of the affected area. With the help of the laser light, it takes a small portion and improves the collagen producing ability of the skin. The therapy treats your skin faster.

CO2 LASER:

Carbon Dioxide laser is comparably new treatment procedure and patients need to qualify first for the treatment. There are certain areas that lead dermatologists to prescribe this therapy for healing the acne scaring issue. An extremely high-energy laser is emitted in a short burst from the carbon dioxide laser. The curing process will begin when the laser light starts vaporizing scarred tissue.

ND Yag:

ND YAG treatment brings significant, quantitative improvements in the topography of the skin. The nonablative 1064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser has been used for treating the skin problem.

• MNRF : This is also an effective treatment procedure where radiofrequency is applied through the gold plated sterile needle. The treatment relies on the micro needling using the heat energy that breaks fibrous band causing the production of the collagen.
• Derma Roller : The sterile derma roller has been rolled over the affected skin that starts the healing process by collagen formation.
• PRP : Platelet rich plasma injection with SELPHYL is used in this treatment. The substance is enriched with the growth factor and it is made of your own blood. Doctors inject the content on the scarred area to improve the healing process.
• Microdermabrasion : This is used to heal the acne scar easily. It unclogs pores to clear acne problem. Dermatologists clear acne with the help of glycolic peels and medical acne extractions.

 

Acne Scar Removal surgery

Surgery

Acne removal surgeries are often recommended to fade away the scarring issue. It treats the skin complication effectively and offers you the satisfied result. It is done in two ways – subcision and TCA Cross.

Subcision:

When the acne scars cause deep depression on the skin, such treatment proves to be very helpful. In this treatment, the affected skin is separated from the scar tissue which improves the regeneration of the skin.

 

TCA Cross

TCA Cross is applied when skin is required to chemically reconstruct. The repairing of the skin is done by Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA). It is used specifically for the Atrophic Acne scar.

 

Tips for Managing

Acne scars are generally stubborn in nature and once they appear on the skin, it is really hard to remove. Besides all the above surgical and medical therapies, you need to protect your skin carefully. Follow the tips to keep your skin safe and unaffected.

• Try to be in a shade always. An exposure to the sun will darken the scar and make it more noticeable.
• Don’t scrub or over wash the skin as it irritates the area more and makes the condition worse.
• Don’t squeeze or pick the scar as the bacteria can spill through this more.
• You must treat your acne scar because the untreated skin will give you more pain and make your skin prone to acne.
