Todd Minars, M.D.Lasers have the unique ability to emit an intense beam of bright light of one color (wavelength). (Ordinary light is composed of many different colors and appears white)
New, state-of-the-art lasers have revolutionized the treatment of a wide variety of skin disorders including spider veins, leg veins, birthmarks, hypertrophic scars, stretch marks, pigmented spots (freckles, age spots) and tattoos. They are also frequently recommended as part of a cosmetic rejuvenation program to create a more youthful appearance.
There are a variety of lasers, and each type produces a different color of light (wavelength) or distributes the light in a different pattern. These differences determine which tissue is affected by the laser and how it might be used to treat the skin. For instance, yellow-light lasers are particularly effective at treating red areas, such as birthmarks or visible blood vessels whereas red-light lasers are more effective at treating brown spots, such as age spots.
Lasers include Laser Skin Resurfacing (Carbon Dioxide and Erbium:YAG Lasers), Fraxel®, Sciton®, and Erbium Microlaser Peels.
