All About Lasers: Which Is The Best Laser?

Lasers have transformed the field of medical aesthetics, offering precise and effective solutions for various skin conditions. At VIDASKIN Aesthetic Clinic, we harness the power of advanced laser technology to help our clients achieve clear, healthy, and youthful skin. The road to great skin may not be the same for everyone and understanding why is an important part of your treatment journey. In this article, we will delve into how lasers work, why we need different types of lasers, and how our Laser Medley Programme can address your specific skin concerns.

Understanding How Lasers Work

Lasers, an acronym for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,” produce intense beams of monochromatic light. This light can be precisely controlled in terms of wavelength, intensity, and pulse duration, allowing it to target specific skin tissues without damaging surrounding areas. The versatility of lasers makes them ideal for treating a variety of skin conditions. Each laser has its own strengths and there is no one best laser. Oftentimes, the best treatment plans combine a few different technologies together.

Why We Need Different Lasers for Different Skin Conditions

Each skin condition requires a unique approach, and different lasers are designed to address specific concerns:

Pigmentation

Pigmented lesions, such as sun spots and melasma, respond well to lasers like the Q-switched NdYAG and PicoSure, which break down melanin into smaller particles that the body can naturally eliminate.

Acne

Acne treatments often use long-pulsed or vascular lasers. These acne laser treatment penetrate the skin to reduce acne causing bacteria, reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Acne Scars

Fractional CO2 lasers and erbium lasers are effective for acne scars. They work by removing the outer layers of scarred skin and stimulating collagen production to promote smoother, more even skin texture.

Enlarged Pores 

Non-ablative lasers, such as the PicoSure laser, are used to shrink enlarged pores by stimulating collagen and tightening the skin.

Redness and Rosacea 

Vascular lasers, like the Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), target blood vessels and reduce redness by coagulating the blood vessels, leading to their gradual absorption by the body.
