What are Laser Treatments?
Cosmetic laser treatments are a form of advanced skincare used to address a variety of concerns. At Erwin Dermatology, we use lasers for laser hair removal to remove unwanted hair and laser vein therapy to erase unsightly varicose veins and spider veins.
Laser Hair Removal
For laser hair removal for residents in and around Victoria, we use the Cynosure Elite IQ system. During treatment, the system’s Skintel melanin reader will detect the melanin in your hair follicles. It will then adjust the treatment settings to your skin tone and skin type. The handpiece will then emit laser energy, which is then absorbed by the hair follicles, damaging them and limiting hair growth.
Laser Vein Therapy
At Erwin Dermatology, we use a few different treatment options to address unwanted veins, including Cutera to target small spider veins and larger varicose veins, Cynosure Elite IQ for varicose veins, and Icon Laser therapy for facial veins. Each one will use laser energy to destroy the blood vessel, redirecting blood flow to other healthy veins.
Who is a Candidate for Laser Treatment?
Laser hair removal and laser vein therapy are typically for anyone who is struggling with unwanted hair or unwanted veins or blood vessels. That said, there are some criteria we follow to determine if one or both of these treatments are right for you.
Ideal Candidates for Laser Treatments in Victoria Are:
- In overall good health
- Have realistic expectations
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Able and willing to stick to aftercare instructions
- Are a nonsmoker
Laser Treatment Benefits
- Minimally-invasive treatment: Both laser hair removal and laser vein therapy are minimally-invasive treatments that are virtually painless and require no anesthesia or the need to go under the knife. You can get back to your routine almost immediately after treatment.
- Little to no recovery time: There is very little downtime or recovery period with laser treatments. You may need to avoid strenuous activities and excess sun exposure for a day or two after treatment, but that’s about it.
- Long-lasting results: With laser hair removal, you can expect results to last for years to come. While you may need repeated treatments to maintain your results, you will see a reduction in the amount of body hair you have for years. With laser vein therapy, the unwanted vein is unlikely to return.
- Highly effective: Both treatments are highly effective and have been proven to reduce unwanted hair and erase veins, respectively.
