New Laser Treatments Improve Results While Decreasing Complications
Better results, fewer complications and shorter recovery time are the goal of the newest generation of laser treatments for skin, excessive body hair and unpleasing facial and leg veins. Often, laser treatments are one part of a comprehensive approach to facial and body rejuvenation. Laser procedures are often done in conjunction with another cosmetic operation, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. Skin care maintenance can also be prescribed to compliment the laser procedure.
“The use of lasers has expanded in the number of patients treated and the range of equipment available to physicians,” says Dr. Sam Speron, laser surgery expert and consumer advocate. “New lasers allow more energy to be released into the skin so that the overall treatment is more effective but with fewer side effects. As plastic surgeons, our goal is always to find the safest alternative possible while making sure that the treatment is as effective as possible!”
