There may be no better reason to seek out a professional anti-aging clinic than the combination of hi-tech equipment and experienced staff members that such facilities employ. Heat, laser, and light energy cosmetic treatments are perhaps the foremost example of this, as millions of people have benefited from the anti-aging capabilities of non-surgical procedures like IPL Photofacial, Fraxel™, and Refirme™.
Laser technology has been a key component of cosmetic skin care for many years now, but it’s been in the past 5-10 years that these procedures have truly come into their own, with advances in precision, safety, range of capabilities, and length of results.
Heat or light energy treatments come in many forms, but generally serve the same function: heating the dermal tissue and forming new connective strands of collagen, the substance in the body which promotes youthfulness and elasticity in the skin. Some treatments, like Photorejuvenation or Photofacial, use intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to achieve this. Other laser skin rejuvenation procedures, like Fractional Laser Resurfacing (best known by the brand Fraxel™), work on a more advanced level, dividing the skin into microscopic quadrants in which the laser can systematically work. For skin tightening, many people rely on laser treatments like Titan™ or Refirme™, the latter of which uses a combination of infrared light energy and bi-polar radio frequencies to strengthen connective bonds in the skin.
Choosing the best laser, light, or heat energy cosmetic treatment depends entirely on your condition, goals, and the expert opinion of a licensed aesthetician.
