What Can Laser Procedures Treat?
Since laser procedures are so versatile, they can be used in a variety of ways. Their main strength is in sending light into the skin, where the visible energy is converted into invisible heat. Cells that are darker-pigmented than the surrounding tissue absorb more of this energy, typically rising in temperature to the point where they are damage or killed. This is especially beneficial for cosmetic problems such as spots, redness, and visible vessels.

Visible Vessels
There are many factors that can trigger the development of small veins that appear on the face, but no matter the cause, the problem is made worse by especially thin skin that allows the red, blue, or even purple-hued vessels to show up prominently against the lighter-colored surrounding skin.
Laser vein reduction works by heating the red cells, generating heat that causes the vein itself to collapse and seal off. Over time, in the weeks following the laser procedure, this tiny, unneeded section of the circulatory system will be absorbed by the body, and the flow of blood will be routed to more appropriate vessels.
Scars
Laser procedures can be quite effective on reducing the appearance of scars from surgery, acne, and trauma. Scars are signs of the body’s efforts to repair itself. Unfortunately, these repair efforts sometimes involve collagen fibers being built in ways that make the healed area look different from the surrounding skin. Light energy can remodel the existing collagen for a more uniform surface, as well as kick-start fresh collagen production so that the scar tissue is ultimately less noticeable.
Rosacea
A chronic skin condition associated with excessive redness, rosacea also commonly causes the skin to develop bumps that are frequently mistaken for acne. For the same reasons laser procedures are ideal for treating spider veins, the light-emitting devices are effective at targeting unwanted redness and generating a clearer tone. Note that rosacea has no cure, but laser procedures can treat the symptoms and make the condition more manageable.
Lesions
Sebaceous hyperplasia, seborrheic keratoses, and other lesions often respond well to laser procedures. Sebaceous hyperplasia appears as yellowy, pimple-like patches, the result of plugged and enlarged oil-producing glands, which light energy can remove. Seborrheic keratoses are benign waxy or scaly skin growths that laser procedures can cause to flake away. The best way to determine whether a laser treatment could clear a particular lesion is to have it examined by a dermatologist, who can make the appropriate recommendation.
