Benefits of Gentelase Laser Facial Rejuvenation Treatments


Advertisement

Age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and discolored skin are all telltale signs of aging, but there are several ways to slow down the aging process and rejuvenate the skin from inside out. The Gentelase Laser is one of the latest facial rejuvenation  technologies on the market, and is currently available at select medical spas and cosmetic surgery centers around the country.
 
The laser emits pulsating light deep into the skin to remove pigmentation and correct blotchiness and an uneven skin tone. Here are some of the key benefits of the Gentelase laser facial rejuvenation treatment:
 
1. Little to no pain. The Gentelase laser is suitable for almost all skin types, and only causes a mild pinching or stinging sensation when applied to the skin. The pulses last just a few seconds, so you won’t feel any type of excessive pain or stinging.
 
2. Very affordable. Some medical spas in the United States charge just $75 per treatment with the Gentelase laser. Most people need to undergo a series of treatments in order to see results, but even a set of laser sessions will not cost as much as Fraxel and other powerful lasers on the market.
 
3. Lasts only a few minutes. Each session lasts just five to ten minutes – or less – depending on the condition of the skin. The laser only works on the pigmented areas, so the doctor or skincare specialist administering it may use a more targeted approach.
 
4. Low-power laser. Unlike other laser facial rejuvenation treatments on the market, the Gentelase laser is one of the ‘low fluence’ lasers on the market, which means less energy is being emitted into the skin. This reduces the risk of burning and scarring, and makes it easier for the skin to heal.
 
5. Promotes collagen production. One of the biggest benefits of getting laser facial rejuvenation treatments is increased collagen production in the treated area. Collagen is what makes the skin appear firmer, stronger and more resilient, and the energy from the laser helps to raise the rate of collagen production slightly after each session.
 
6. Only one to two treatments necessary to initiate the removal of pigmentation. After the laser breaks down the pigment, the skin will naturally shed the dead tissues and form a crust within one to three day after the treatment. When the crust falls off, the skin will be clear and free of any discoloration in the treated area. Most people notice a major difference after their second session.

7. Little to no downtime. The Gentelase laser is mild enough to be performed on an outpatient basis and promises little to no downtime. You do need to wear sunscreen after the procedure, but you do not need to wear bandages during the healing process. The skin will heal and recover within days and weeks after the treatment.
