Skin Laser Treatment Malaysia (Our Signature Therapy)

Having discoloration, rough patches, or scars from acne can have an impact on a person’s self-esteem.

Skin laser treatments can help correct these issues, encouraging the growth of new skin cells to replace the damaged ones.

What is skin laser treatment?

Skin laser treatments, also known as laser resurfacing, is a procedure that uses an intense laser beam to remove the very outer layer of the skin.

The procedure can tighten the skin, remove fine lines and wrinkles, eliminate scars, discoloration, shallow acne scarring, and smooth out areas of rough skin. Skin laser treatments can be used for the face, hands, chest, and neck.

Process of Skin Laser Treatment in Malaysia

There are two types of laser resurfacing; ablative and non-ablative.

Ablative laser treatment

An ablative laser treatment will remove the epidermis, the surface layer of your skin. It’s a controlled way of vaporizing the damaged skin tissue, exposing the dermis, or deeper skin layer below the epidermis.

The laser creates heat, which causes tightening of the skin tissue and helps stimulate the growth of new collagen. Collagen is a protein that is fibrous and long. It gives your skin strength and structure. As the treated area begins to heal it forms new skin cells. This creates skin that is much softer and less scarred or wrinkled.

An ablative laser treatment gives a more dramatic result, however, it can take up to 2 weeks to recover.

Non-ablative laser treatment

The non-ablative laser method doesn’t destroy the epidermal layer of the skin. It actually targets the dermis by heating it up with the laser. Heating the dermis helps boost collagen and new skin cell growth.

A non-ablative laser treatment is a gentler treatment that gives milder results and only a few hours of downtime.

During your treatment, a local anesthetic is used to numb the areas being treated. In cases where the entire face is being treated, a general anesthetic may be used.

Depending on the are being treated, you may be given an eye shield to wear during the procedure. The practitioner then uses a laser to remove the skin or reach a certain depth depending on the treatment being done.

The treated area will feel raw and tender in the area that was treated. Depending on the treatment you have had will determine how much downtime is needed for the skin to heal. You will also be instructed on how to care for the skin at home.

Benefits of Skin Laser Treatment

People choose to have skin laser treatments for a number of reasons.

The main benefits that you get with this treatment are skin that is healthier, smoother, and softer. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced to give a younger and fresher appearance to the skin.

Skin laser treatments also eliminate discoloration caused by UV rays, skin pigmentation issues, and aging. This gives the skin a balanced and more even skin tone.

Another of the top benefits of skin laser treatments is that it encourages the production of collagen. Collagen is what gives our skin the elasticity needed for firmness, something that we lose as we age.

It also works to reduce the size of pores that have become enlarged. Even traumatic scarring can be lessened with the use of a skin laser treatment.
