Laser Treatments at Vanishing Ink

LASER means Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In plain words, it is a machine that produces beams of light that are highly concentrated. In cosmetic procedures, these beams of light are focused on specific layers of the skin.

The photon energy of the laser can be used for different purposes according to wavelength and intensity. For example, some lasers can literally vaporize unwanted tissue while others stimulate collagen production. This selective application of light allows treatments with a high degree of precision and a minimal effect on the nearby areas.

Benefits of Laser Treatments

Wide range of applications, Improved precision, Reduced downtime, Safe and effective

Unwanted tattoos and blemishes

The laser can eliminate or reduce the appearance of unappealing tattoos and pigmentations, such as freckles, age spots, and sunspots. The laser goes after the pigment in the ink or blemish which is then broken into smaller pieces and then disposed of by the body naturally.

Signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines

With aging, the skin gets reduced in collagen, a protein that provides the framework and elasticity. Laser treatments can stimulate the production of collagen, thereby making the skin firmer, smoother, and without wrinkles and fine lines. Different types of lasers either treat different skin layers or tackle a specific kind of problem.

Uneven skin texture and tone

Lasers can be used to make uneven skin texture better by taking off the irregularities on the skin’s surface and stimulating the production of collagen for a more level look. They can also help in evening out the skin tone by targeting the excessive pigmentation that may result from sun damage and acne scarring.

Acne scarring

Laser treatments help in removing acne scars by boosting collagen production and restructuring scar tissue. This can cause the scar to be smoother and less visible.

Sun damage

Sun exposure can result in wrinkles, fine lines, discoloration, and age spots on the skin. Because of its ability to remove sun-damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production, the use of lasers can solve the problem of aging skin.

Improved precision

As opposed to conventional surgical methods, lasers provide a much higher level of precision. It translates into several advantages for the patient. First of all, it reduces the risk of unintended damage to the healthy tissue surrounding the treated site. Usual surgical procedures are often associated with incisions that may go beyond the target area, where the incisions are made, to allow for better visibility and manipulation. Lasers in contrast can be aimed exactly at the tissue being treated while the rest of the skin is left intact. This helps avoid the possibility of scars and other undesirable effects.

Reduced downtime

Many lasers are minimally invasive, which consequently leads to shorter healing time and faster recovery from surgery. The conventional surgical techniques in most cases involve more intrusive manipulation of deeper tissues, which in turn leads to a longer recovery period as the body heals. Unlike lasers, they usually result in a negligible disturbance of the skin surface. This gives a faster recuperation process and a sooner return to normal activities.

Safe and effective

If a qualified practitioner performs them, laser therapy is considered a safe procedure with a high-efficiency rate in achieving the expected outcomes. Lasers are medical tools and, like all medical procedures, you have to be aware of any risks involved. Nevertheless, when appropriately performed by a certified dermatologist or other healthcare professional who has extensive experience in laser therapy, these risks are considerably minimal. Not only that but lasers have undergone intensive research and have been successfully used to treat a number of skin problems.

Laser Treatment Services

Nowadays, laser tattoo removal is considered a highly effective and popular option for people who want to either completely remove or only lighten their tattoos.

Laser Technology for All Tattoos

Our clinic deploys advanced laser technology that can treat tattoos of diverse colors, sizes, and complications. This flexibility enables us to serve a variety of clients with different needs, regardless if your tattoo is a small amateur job or a huge, intricately detailed tattoo done by a professional artist.

Multiple Colors, Multiple Laser Wavelengths

Different colors in a tattoo require different laser wavelengths to be successful in removing them. Our clinic has access to multi-wavelength lasers which can be used to address the different colors of your tattoo. This assures the maximum effectiveness in the decomposition of the particles of each color.

Fading Even Stubborn Tattoos

Faded tattoos can be lightened even further with laser removal. Fading tattoos normally consist of smaller ink fragments scattered inside the dermis (the middle layer of skin). Our lasers have very high precision and can effectively target these smaller particles which in turn makes the tattoo fade more and thus can be concealed easily with makeup or covered with a future tattoo (cover-up tattoo).

Very enjoyable experience, kind and facilitative staff. Noticeable improvement in sensitivity and performance.

Carbon peel/Hollywood Peel

The carbon peel combines the accuracy of laser technology and the absorbing properties of carbon particles into one to achieve effective skin rejuvenation. Here’s a breakdown of the treatment process:

Carbon Application: A light coat of medical-grade carbon paste is smeared on your clean face. This carbon layer goes deep into your pores and captures dirt, oil and other impurities.
Laser Treatment: A laser with the exact wavelength is then softly guided along the carbon-treated skin. The laser strikes the carbon particles, making them heat up and shatter.

Benefits of the Carbon peel

Dual Action for Skin Rejuvenation

This laser-carbon interaction creates a two-fold effect on your skin:

Exfoliation and purification: As carbon particles break apart, they carry dirt, oil, and dead skin cells along with them. These deep-cleaning actions help to narrow the clogged pores, eliminate blackheads, and flush out the impurities trapped in the skin.
Laser Stimulation: The laser energy used in the carbon peel treatment is very deep and can get to the lower layers of the skin. The gentle stimulation of heat causes collagen production which is a vital protein for the maintenance of skin elasticity and firmness. Gradually, collagen production triggers the diminishing of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ideal Candidates for a Carbon peel

The carbon peel is a versatile treatment that can benefit a variety of skin types and concerns. It is particularly well-suited for those looking to address:

Oily or acne-prone skin
Enlarged pores
Blackheads
Dull or uneven skin tone
Fine lines and wrinkles
