Laser Tattoo Removal
FALL SKIN REJUVENATION
By: Rebecca Lu, MD, FAAD
Mohs and Dermatologic Surgeon
Now that summer has come and
gone, it’s time to address all that
sun damage from those days at the
pool and down the shore! There
are several in-office laser and light
devices that rejuvenate the skin
and even reverse some of the dam-
aging effects caused by the sun’s
harmful rays.
1. IPL Photofacial
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broad
band light device that targets
brown spots, age spots, and red-
ness. Certain models have
adjustable filters to target specific
skin problems, such as birthmarks,
broken blood vessels, brown spots,
and age spots, as well as leg veins,
tattoos, and even hair removal. It
feels like a warm snap and is asso-
ciated with minimal downtime.
This is a very effective option to
improve brown spots on the face,
chest, and hands, as well as
improve the redness and broken
blood vessels seen in rosacea. Like
most procedures, it is typical to
require multiple treatments to
achieve a significant result.
2. Fractionated Resurfacing
I offer the Fraxel DUAL, which is the
premier device in fractionated non-
ablative resurfacing lasers. Fraxel®
is FDA-approved to treat fine lines
and wrinkles, sun damage, brown
spots, melasma, acne scarring, sur-
gical scars, and even precancerous
growths known as actinic ker-
atoses. It works by creating micro-
scopic columns in the skin to stim-
ulate new collagen formation,
which heals the skin from the inside
out to soften wrinkles and fine
lines, erase brown spots, improve
skin tone and texture, and even do
a little tightening. Most patients
will experience several days of red-
ness after the procedure, but it is
very tolerable and can be covered
with make up. The results can be
very dramatic and long-lasting.
3. Clear + Brilliant®
Clear + Brilliant® is a revolutionary
gentle laser that improves skin
tone, pigmentation, and the
appearance of pores with little or
no downtime. Because it is a gentle
laser treatment, like a “laser
facial,” it is perfect for those with
busy lifestyles where downtime is
not possible. My patients tell me
they love the “glow” they get after
a Clear + Brilliant treatment. It is
great for younger patients and as a
maintenance treatment after Frax-
el. While this is a gentle treatment,
it also stimulates new collagen for-
mation so that the benefits can be
long-lasting.
Fortunately, with advances in tech-
nology, there are many options to
reverse the signs of aging and sun
damage. However, even with daily
sunscreen, it is still possible to sus-
tain sun damage accumulated over
time, so a “skin clean-up” is neces-
sary every now and then for
healthier, rejuvenated, younger-
looking skin.
