There are many factors, both internal and external, that cause us to age. Internal factors include hormones, genetics, and diet. External factors include pollution and lifestyle choices. But over 90% of the visible damage on our skin is due to extended, unprotected sun exposure. Although sun exposure has many damaging results, one of the most visible signs is the splotchy discoloration on our skin. The years of tanning and not wearing sun-screen, tend to catch up with us in our mid 20’s and 30’s. We begin to see spots appear on our face, shoulders, arms, back and decollate. They may be small freckles or large and obvious splotches.
There are several names for this discoloration; melasma, chloasma, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, age spots, freckles or liver spots. And although the sun is the number one cause, other factors can influence the prevalence of splotchy skin including hormones, genetics, diet and trauma to the skin.
But regardless of the cause, the good news is that we have a solution. Using Alexandrite laser technology we can quickly and easily remove the discoloration from your skin. Whether it is freckles, sun spots, melasma, or hyperpigmentation due to a trauma, our laser technology can lighten or completely remove the discoloration. Elase offers laser skin rejuvenation in Salt Lake City, Draper and Orem Utah.
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Information
Fractional laser skin resurfacing (ablative and non-ablative) appears to achieve skin improvements that can get close to conventional ablative laser skin resurfacing but with fewer potential side effects. Examples of branded devices include Fraxel and Pixel, but there are many others.
The process of directing a light source to target a selected area of the skin to damage it is technically known as "selective photothermolysis"; where “thermolysis” refers to ‘decomposition by heat’ and “photo” refers to ‘light’. Unlike with selective photothermolysis, where the whole of the selected target area is damaged; “Fractional Photothermolysis” seeks to only damage certain zones, (producing tiny dot-like treated areas on the skin), leaving the other zones within it perfectly intact; hence only causing fractional damage. This allows the skin to heal much faster than if the whole area was treated.
The costs for fractional laser skin resurfacing depend on the area(s) being treated and the type of device being used plus any additional single patient disposable items required by some systems.
