Skincare Treatments: Understanding Laser Resurfacing and Light Therapy

Healthy skin contributes to the health of your body by protecting you against infection and your vital organs. Healthy skin is also beautiful skin, playing a large role in your appearance. Aging, environmental toxins, sun exposure, and other factors can lead to skin issues. Laser resurfacing and light therapy from your dermatologist can help you look your best. Dr. Paul Yamauchi at Dermatology Institute & Skin Care Center in Santa Monica, CA, offers comprehensive dermatology services, including laser resurfacing and light therapy.

How Laser Resurfacing and Light Therapy Can Help You

Laser resurfacing uses focused light energy to improve skin tone, texture, and other characteristics of your skin. It works by penetrating into the skin layers, boosting collagen production. Dead skin cells are removed from the upper layer of your skin, leaving your skin looking vibrant and renewed. Laser resurfacing is an excellent treatment for:

• Sun damage and age spots
• Rosacea and birth marks
• Acne and acne scarring
• Wrinkles, creases, and fine lines
• Aging, sagging skin

Light therapy is another excellent treatment to enhance the appearance and health of your skin. Light therapy can be used on its own or in combination with medication, which makes skin cells more sensitive to light. Medication can be applied topically, and focused light is applied to the area. Light therapy is an excellent treatment for:

• Acne
• Actinic keratosis
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Sun damage
• Large pores
• Redness or poor pigmentation

Laser resurfacing and light therapy offer effective, convenient results with minimal to no downtime. They are the perfect solution to fight the early signs of aging, correct uneven skin tone and texture, and provide relief from acne and other troublesome skin conditions.
