Sun-Kissed to Sun-Fixed: It’s Laser Season at West Dermatology

Ah, summer – the season of beach trips, outdoor activities and patios! , But as September dawns, our skin often tells a different story, showing traces of sun damage despite our best sunscreen efforts.

As we bid farewell to the long, sun-soaked days of summer, many of us begin to notice sunspots, uneven skin tone, and other signs of sun damage emerge, reminding us of the importance of skincare. At West Dermatology, we affectionately call September the "Laser Season" – and for good reason!

With the sun less intense and our summer tan beginning to fade, September presents the perfect conditions for laser treatments, ensuring minimal risk and maximum efficacy. Two standout treatments to correct sun damage at our clinic are the HALO Laser and the BBL (Broad Band Light) Laser. Let’s dive into why they're our top picks for post-summer skin revitalization.

The HALO Laser: The Dual Action Powerhouse

The HALO laser, often termed as the 'Hybrid Fractional Laser,' combines both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to effectively target sun damage at varying skin depths. Here's why it's a game-changer:

Dual Action: By targeting both the skin's surface and its deeper layers, HALO can address multiple concerns simultaneously – from superficial sunspots to deeper wrinkles.

Quick Recovery: Unlike traditional laser treatments, which might require extensive downtime, HALO offers a rapid healing process. You can expect your skin to start glowing within a week!

Tailored Treatments: Every skin is unique. HALO treatments can be customized based on the extent of sun damage and individual skin goals, ensuring everyone receives a treatment tailored to their specific needs.

Benefits of the HALO:

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: One of HALO's prime benefits is its ability to grow collagen and therefore diminish those pesky wrinkles, restoring a smoother skin texture.

Evens Skin Tone: Sunspots or age spots from excessive sun exposure? HALO works diligently to even out discolorations, giving you a more uniform complexion.

Enhanced Skin Radiance: Bid farewell to dull skin. HALO treatments stimulate collagen, leading to a naturally radiant glow.

Skin Resurfacing: HALO isn't just about aesthetics. It provides deeper skin resurfacing, prompting healthier skin to emerge.

BBL (Broad Band Light) Laser: Turn Back the Sun’s Clock

BBL is a powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment, known for its incredible ability to correct sun damage and rejuvenate the skin.

Targeted Approach: BBL focuses on age spots, sun-induced freckles, and redness, giving your skin a more even, youthful appearance.

Stimulates Collagen Production: BBL not only addresses the visible signs of sun damage but also stimulates collagen production, ensuring your skin remains firm and resilient.

Non-Invasive: With BBL, there's no need for incisions or needles. It's a non-invasive approach to significant results, ensuring a comfortable experience with minimal downtime.

Benefits of the BBL:

Corrects Sun Damage: BBL is especially potent in reversing the effects of prolonged sun exposure, addressing pigmentation, and restoring skin vitality.

Reduces Redness and Rosacea: Beyond just sun damage, BBL is effective in reducing redness and symptoms of rosacea, offering a clearer complexion.

Skin Firming Benefits: BBL treatments aren't just superficial. They penetrate deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen production, which results in firmer skin.

Treats Visible Blood Vessels: Those small blood vessels or capillaries that can become more prominent with sun damage? BBL can address those too.
