Aging is associated with many mental and physical changes. Aging skin is associated with wrinkling and sagging. These is bound to be very stressful if it occurs prematurely. There are a number of things that can be done to reduce these effects. Laser therapy is one of those that are commonly used in Worcester. If they intend to benefit from laser skin rejuvenation Westborough should know a few basics beforehand.

Apart from old age, wrinkling and sagging of skin has been associated with some skin conditions. The commonly affected parts of the body are the face and the neck. Affected persons will characteristically exhibit prominent nasal folds, brow lines and increased tissue deposition under the eyes. These changes have been attributed to slowing of collagen metabolism. Collagen is one of the most important connective tissues in the body.

Laser skin rejuvenation technique is described as a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure. Here, infrared technology is used to heat up the abnormal collagen found in the dermis and to cause micro-thermal injury. The collagen subsequently shrinks and this is followed by healing and formation of new collagen. The result is a more youthful appearance within a couple of weeks. There is usually no damage to the epidermis.

This technique may be used in both women and men with amazing results. At the same time, it has been used successfully in almost all the types of skin tone. Before undergoing the treatment, one needs to be thoroughly evaluated by a qualified dermatologist to establish whether or not they are fit to withstand laser therapy. Any conditions that could potentially contraindicate the treatment are identified and dealt with.

It takes an average of 30 minutes to an hour for one session to be completed. As the beam is directed to the affected areas, one will experience a warm sensation that persists as long as the beam is still on. The beam can be used with great precision and only the affected areas are usually subjected to the irradiation.

Most people will get optimal results after about six sessions of treatment. Additional sessions after these will be given at six week intervals. There are very few side effects that include swelling, bruising, redness, blister formation and increased redness. These side effects tend to resolve spontaneously in a few days. It should be noted that since the procedure uses ionizing radiation, overexposure may carry a risk of malignancies in the long term.

A lot of patience is required when using this therapy. Unlike many other forms of treatment, the results may not be immediate. Some people have had to wait for weeks or months before they notice the much desired change. This is because success relies on the natural healing mechanisms of the body.

This treatment is relatively affordable as it is based on the area of skin involved and the type of laser that is chosen. Apart from affordability, the procedure is carried out as a day case and it is possible for one to continue with their daily activities as soon as they leave the hospital. You may be advised to complement the therapy with anti-aging creams.
