What Does Broadband Light Therapy Treat?
Broadband laser treatment is recognized as one of the most versatile skin therapy treatments for various skin conditions. Broadband light therapy is frequently used to treat pigmentation issues, vascular problems, pigmented lesions, small blood vessels, rosacea, age spots, uneven skin tone, uneven skin texture, and more. Contact North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics to find out how broadband light therapy can rejuvenate your skin and treat your skin conditions.
How Does Broadband Laser Treatment Work?
The broadband laser emits controlled, high-intensity, broad-spectrum light to specific skin areas. The light emitted by the device can be adjusted to different wavelengths, which allows it to treat a variety of skin concerns. The patient’s melanin (pigment), hemoglobin (the red blood cells inside blood vessels), and body water absorb the emitted wavelengths of light, starting the skin’s natural regenerative process. Using broad-spectrum wavelengths at specific strengths to target the skin’s underlying layers, the skin absorbs the light energy, and the body is encouraged to produce collagen and eliminate pigmented skin cells.
Before & After Broadband Laser Treatment
Before a patient undergoes broadband laser treatment, they will visit our office and meet with our licensed medical provider for a comprehensive consultation, where they will discuss their treatment goals and skin concerns and receive an evaluation of their skin condition and skin type.
Following their broadband light treatment, patients may notice some redness and mild swelling in the treated areas, but these side effects are typically mild and dissipate within a day. It’s important to follow the provided broadband laser aftercare instructions, including information about sun protection and avoiding harsh skincare products during the healing process. Multiple sessions will be required for optimal outcomes, and maintenance sessions are needed on a regular schedule to prolong the benefits of broadband light therapy.
What To Expect During Your Appointment
Broadband laser treatments are relatively quick and simple to perform. On the day of your appointment, you should expect the procedure to last approximately 30 minutes, but the duration of treatment depends on the size of the treated area. To start the procedure, a medical provider will apply a cooling gel to your skin. Patients will wear goggles, protective glasses, or a safety shield to protect their eyes from the light emitted from the device. During treatment, patients may experience a heat sensation and pulses. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, though some may feel mild pain.
Advantages Of Broadband Laser Treatment
Following their treatment, patients can expect to see visible changes to their skin within several days or weeks of their broadband light treatment. Patients receiving additional broadband light treatments will notice more significant changes to their skin. Among the wide range of benefits of broadband light therapy is its versatility. It can be customized to target and treat skin concerns, and it’s suitable for use on a variety of skin types. Additionally, the procedure is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime. Its non-invasive nature, lack of required downtime, and stunning results make broadband light therapy attractive for patients seeking rejuvenation to their skin without cosmetic surgery.
