Spring Forward with Flawless Skin: A Guide to Our Laser Treatments

Spring Forward with Flawless Skin: A Guide to Our Laser Treatments

The pursuit of smooth and youthful skin is never-ending. As you adapt your skincare regimen to meet the challenges of aging, more signs show up. Sometimes, you need a great equalizer to stay ahead. 

At Bayview General Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Dr. Richard Blanchar and our team partner with CynoSure® Lutronic®, makers of the Elite iQ® and PicoSure® aesthetic laser platforms, to bring next-level skincare treatments to our patients. 

When you’re looking to refresh your appearance as the cool months end, ask us about the powerful revitalization offered through noninvasive laser light therapy. 

The power of laser light

While it seems hard to imagine that light can deliver results previously only accomplished through dermabrasion, chemical peels and similar procedures, lasers have a particular property that enables targeted delivery to support tissue, without damaging your epidermis, the skin’s surface layer. 

Many of the problems challenging your complexion dwell underneath, in the skin’s middle layer. What seem like superficial issues are in fact showing through your translucent epidermis. 

Because lasers emit light in single wavelengths, we can precisely target specific tissue. The outer layer’s translucence means that cosmetic layers use wavelengths that pass right through the epidermis before being absorbed by the dermis, the middle collagen layer. 

Warming collagen with laser energy causes the body to turn over tissue. Existing collagen gets flushed, making way for new tissue to form in the healing response to your laser treatment. 

Elite iQ

A device that’s safe for all skin types, think of Elite iQ as the tone and texture master in our skincare arsenal. A partial list of conditions treated with an Elite iQ session includes:

Elite iQ can even control psoriasis and unwanted body hair. 

PicoSure

While Elite iQ handles minor skin coloration issues, PicoSure targets pigmentary conditions with a choice of three laser wavelengths. It’s the go-to platform for tattoo removal. 

The PicoSure secret is the power of high-output-short duration energy bursts lasting only trillionths of a second — a picosecond. This laser impact essentially smashes tattoo dye particles so they’re small enough to flush from your body through the circulatory system. 

With that kind of power, natural pigmentary conditions are no match for PicoSure. Turn to this platform for issues like: 

PicoSure also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improving your overall skin health.
