Laser treatments offer amazing benefits for people who want to rejuvenate their skin and restore a more youthful appearance. In fact, aesthetic laser therapy is so popular, millions of treatments are performed every year in the United States.
While many laser systems treat just one cosmetic concern, our team at Luminary Dermatology uses the GentleMax Pro® laser system, a state-of-the-art system that combines the benefits of two energy wavelengths to treat multiple issues. We can address any or all of the following seven skin concerns to help you achieve your own aesthetic goals.
1. Sunspots and pigmentation
The sun is responsible for most of the visible signs of aging — an effect called photoaging. Freckles, brown spots, and uneven pigmentation are signs of sun damage, but so are other changes in tone and texture, such as sagging, crepey skin.
By targeting excess pigment in your skin’s deeper layers, GentleMax Pro helps discoloration fade over time, leaving your complexion looking clearer, brighter, healthier, and more youthful.
2. Redness and rosacea
Rosacea and other types of persistent facial redness happen when tiny blood vessels just under your skin become irritated and dilated. GentleMax Pro helps manage redness by targeting those tiny blood vessels, shrinking them and eventually closing them off to blood flow.
Over time, your skin tone looks healthier and more consistent. Best of all, GentleMax Pro allows for complete customization, making it safe even for people with sensitive skin.
The system’s remarkable technology targets pigments inside each hair follicle, reducing future hair growth while leaving your surrounding skin unharmed. The built-in cooling system doesn’t just protect your skin — it keeps you more comfortable during treatment, too.
3. Spider veins
While tiny clusters of dilated veins are behind rosacea’s characteristic flush, sometimes it’s just one or a few spider veins that mar your complexion. While sclerotherapy is the go-to treatment for spider veins on your legs or other areas of your body, injections in facial veins — where skin is thinner — can be a little more problematic.
GentleMax Pro offers an alternative, using laser energy to penetrate your skin and gently heat up damaged spider veins. The heat causes the tiny vein to collapse and fade away over time, leaving your skin clearer.
4. Unwanted hair
The GentleMax Pro laser system is highly effective at removing unwanted hair on your face, underarms, legs, chest, back, and bikini area — pretty much anywhere you want to enjoy smoother skin.
5. Acne scars and active acne
Acne is the most common skin disease in the United States, affecting millions of people. In addition to the physical and emotional effects of active breakouts, acne can leave lingering scars, as well.
GentleMax Pro helps destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation in your skin. Its gentle heat also stimulates collagen production to smooth scars.
6. Ingrown hairs and folliculitis
Because GentleMax Pro can target and treat individual hair follicles, it’s an ideal solution for follicle-related problems, such as chronic ingrown hairs and folliculitis.
It also doesn’t trigger the same irritation as waxing or shaving, so laser-treated skin looks smoother and clearer.
7. Fine lines and wrinkles
When you’re young, your skin contains an ample supply of collagen, a protein that keeps skin smooth, firm, and supple. As you get older, though, you don’t make as much collagen, leading to fine lines and wrinkles.
GentleMax Pro heats the deeper layers of skin where collagen is produced. The gentle heat energy triggers a natural healing response, including increased production of collagen for skin that looks and feels smoother over time.
