Laser treatments are a newly discovered surgical technique. Medical doctors have used laser treatments for surgeries involving delicate parts of the body such as the eyes. These lasers are best used to cut through the delicate tissues in order to avoid and keep bleeding to a minimum. However, the use of medical lasers for use in cosmetic surgery was discovered almost by accident. It was soon discovered that medical lasers could be used for cosmetic treatments because cosmetic lasers can easilt erase skin blemishes such as scars and wrinkles. As a result, cosmetic lasers make it much easier to erase wrinkles and fine lines without an invasive surgery that requires making an incision and manipulating the skin. Additionally, they can stimulate and restore skin growth

The main goal of cosmetic laser surgery is to achieve flawless, youthful skin. This technique is also especially useful to patients who have experienced some permanent scarring. Additionally, it works to erase any type of skin wrinkles or irregularities as the result of aging. Other patients may have issues with medical conditions including liver spots, hyperpigmentation, spider veins, melasma patches, or Rosacea, can greatly benefit from a treatment. Treatments are not considered as actual surgery because the procedure involves non invasive techniques that do not require making a skin incision. Treatments use a an advanced technology to permeates the skin through the use of plasma energy and high incentive laser beams. Cosmetic lasers require lots of precision and concentration on the part of the cosmetic surgeon. The laser energy works by destroying the undesired skin cells, these dead skin cells will eventually fall off and make way for the growth of healthy, new skin cells. Using an untrained physician for a cosmetic laser treatment can result in serious burns, especially because the laser instrument has different wavelengths that are appropriate for different >> Read More

Light and lasers are often the same but visible light has frequencies of 380 through roughly 1,400 nanometers.  As kids we all had a thing called a radiometer. It’s a clear light bulb with a vacuum inside with four square plates, the plates are white on one side and black on the other. The black absorbs light energy and the white reflects the energy. Light energy has an extremely small mass. When you put the toy in light it spins because the black absorbs light energy and white reflects light energy.  Much like many years ago we illuminated Christmas trees with flood lights with color wheels.  When yellow filters only yellow light and higher frequencies go through and frequency reflects off and makes the tree yellow.  When a red filter is used the tree is red for the same reason.

Light generally does not travel in a specific direction but spreads out.  Flood light bulbs spread energy not specifically directed.  Powerful but needs to be tweaked for medical needs.  The original light type therapy, put a filter in front of  the light bulb, and it generates a light flash i.e. frequency red 560-640 it attacks red in the skin or small capillaries.  If just powerful enough it destroys >> Read More

Lasers: The Alternative Solution

Currently, the medical solution to various ailments is typically some sort of surgery, often invasive, painful, time-consuming and costly. We remove tumors, cataracts, fat, and burn marks by going under the knife. A relatively new field of medicine is beginning to tap into a noninvasive, and possibly much more effective method of treatment: lasers.

One way that lasers work is by stimulating bundles of nerves in the body to create a chain of events, often waking up the immune system in the process. Research has shown that they might even have an effect on cancerous cells. Erchonia has created a low level laser, Zerona, which affects the adipose, or fat connective tissue of the body. This tissue is then released and is able to be disposed of by the body’s natural processes. The Zerona medical laser is being considered as a replacement for liposuction, the traditional fat removal surgery.

While the Zerona laser has come farther than most other laser treatments, it is not the only medical use out there for lasers. Erchonia has done studies involving wounds and burns, which have shown an astounding healing rate when treated with lasers. Burn victims often lose the ability to grow skin cells and often require replacement skin grafts. Erchonia’s studies have found effective solutions to healing the wounds with lasers, and potentially preserving cell growth. Other companies have tapped into curing toenail fungus, stretch marks, scars, acne, rosacea and more, but Erchonia is the breakthrough company in effective laser treatments.

Many people have already begun choosing to use the leading cosmetic lasers treatments to cure cataracts, astigmatism, and poor eyesight. Additionally, laser hair removal is a burgeoning cosmetic alternative to painful waxing. It seems that laser treatments >> Read More
