FAQ
IPL vs Laser treatment
Both IPL and laser treatments can be used to improve a variety of skin issues. The main difference is that IPL therapy is gentler on the skin and usually requires more sessions than laser therapy for comparable results. Laser treatment is more intense and recovery is longer. It can achieve more noticeable results from fewer procedures. However, unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. IPL can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time. Certain skin issues may respond better to IPL or laser. Your dermatologist can tell you which one is a better match for your needs.
What Are The Benefits Of Yellow Laser Treatments?
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, laser treatments are all the rage! In order to achieve flawless skin, many people are opting for this groundbreaking technology to help clear up and heal even the toughest skin conditions. A popular laser treatment amongst many patients is the Yellow Laser, an effective noninvasive procedure that promises to restore and bring your skin back to life.
Is it safe to use Yellow laser in the skin?
One of the best things about Yellow Laser is it’s completely safe and gentle on the skin. The targeted laser light only treats the areas you want without damaging the surrounding skin, tissue or cells. And since it has an ideal wavelength of 577nm, it’s a highly effective treatment that doesn’t run the risk of burning the skin.
How is the treatment with Yellow Laser?
During the treatment itself, patients report feeling a tingly or prickly sensation but the procedure is still very tolerable. Even patients with a low pain threshold are able to tolerate it but have the option to put a numbing or topical anesthetic cream to eliminate that sensation completely. Once the treatment is done, patients may experience some swelling or redness but those symptoms subside significantly after the first hour
Do Yellow Laser can be used in any skin tone?
In the early days of laser treatments, many of them would only cater to those with lighter skin tones, really limiting the range of patients that they were able to treat. However, thanks to the advancement of laser technology over the last couple years, lasers including the Yellow Laser can cater to multiple skin tones, including those with darker skin.
Is there a downtime after Yellow Laser treatment?
Like some of the most popular noninvasive treatments available on the market today, the Yellow Laser treatment is a relatively quick session lasting anywhere between 30-45 minutes. Immediately after each session, the patient’s face will look flushed and pink for up to an hour post-treatment — symptoms that will subside within a few hours. If that’s the case, patients are welcome to reapply makeup after treatment to minimize the rosyness of their face and go on with their day as normal.
What are the results after Yellow Laser treatment?
The Yellow Laser wouldn’t have the reputation that it has without the incredible results that it promises. After their treatment, patients typically see a clearer, firmer and healthier looking complexion. To help maintain those results, it’s highly recommended that patients purchase packages of at least 3-6 treatments as results are gradual and tend to improve with each session. Depending on the skin condition that’s being treated, patients may require multiple sessions in order to achieve the flawless skin they’re looking for.
