What's so good about personal beauty lasers?


What's so bad about surgery? Why shouldn't I inject poisons into my body? Who cares if it gives me cancer or makes me infertile as long as I look young? Must we suffer to be beautiful? Or will a cosmetic laser treatment fix everything safely and painlessly?

What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

"Low Level Laser Therapy or Laser Phototherapy is a method where light from a laser is applied to tissue (or cells in culture) in order to influence cell or tissue functions with such low light intensity that heating is negligible. The effects achieved are hence not due to heating but to photochemical or photobiologic reactions like the effect of light in plants. The lasers used are normally referred to as therapeutic lasers." Swedish Laser Medical Society

Low Level Laser Therapy is widely used in hospitals and clinics around the world to treat and cure a number of conditions including pain relief, problematic skin conditions and to promote healing in wounds or injuries.

Low Level Laser Therapy is beneficial in repairing damaged cells and speeds up and enhances the response of the body’s immune system as well as aiding pain relief. That is why it is so effective when used for skin rejuvenation and healing acne and skin blemishes - it restores the skin to a healthy, more youthful condition.

Also, if you are suffering from hair loss, low level laser therapy can help to stimulate the hair follicles into action again, resulting in new hair growth and healthier hair. Amazing but true.

Can you get rid of stretch marks with a skin laser?

 A very interesting article from Middle Ageless

"Stretch marks result from tears in the dermis, caused by the skin stretching rapidly.

Growth spurts during adolescence and pregnancy are the primary causes of stretch marks. In adolescent girls, the sudden appearance of pink or purple lines over the hips, thighs, and sometimes breasts, can be very distressing. They will fade over time, and become silvery, but so far no one has some up with a way to get rid of them.

Every now and then, I'll read on a doc or derm's website that the fractional laser will fade stretch marks. However, in practice, I'm not sure this is true. Manhattan dermatological surgeon, Jordana Gilman, says that in her opinion only ablative (Co2) fractional lasers can postively affect stretch marks and then only to a degree."
