So how do you choose which laser is best to help you treat hyperpigmentation? First you have to understand that if the doctor only has one laser, the chances are he will try to use it "to see if it helps". If the only tool you morpheus 8 eyes have is a hammer everything gets treated like a nail! That can lead to very bad results. Find a doctor with lots of experience treating hyperpigmentation. Ask him to explain to you what is causing your dark skin and treat the cause. If your not sure he is giving you the right answer, get a second opinion before you get treatment!
Although cost can be a deciding factor on whom you should see but I advise you to think carefully. If you choose lower prices, you may not get the expertise and the quality of the treatment that you deserve. Inexperienced dermatologists can sometimes set the energy level inaccurately or beam the laser on the wrong area which can cause scarring or burning.
Apply sun block in order to deflect UV rays. When lemon juice residues are on your skin, your dermis can easily burn under the sun. Your skin becomes photosensitive. Sun block is one of the ways to combat the effects of UV rays.
The disadvantages, apart from the expense are several. In a recent survey of women who had the morpheus skin treatment I have described above, only 60% said that they thought it was worth it! That is not a very high satisfaction rating. Others complained of the pain and were only able to manage with Tylenol. Others said that you need a lot of courage, were unhappy with the length of healing time and the constant 'seeping' from the wounded skin. Some comments were quite scathing saying that you had to really take a month off work and there were all sorts of problems with the healing skin and scabbing and so on.
Does it sound too good to be true? It may not sound too unbelievable if you understand how the Thermage procedure works. The device infuses a specific radio frequency when placed on your morpheus skin treatment. This frequency heats up the collagen in that area while the surface of the skin is cooled. This simple action causes immediate lifting of the skin. It continues to take action several months after its administration. Watch as your skin continues to tighten during the subsequent months.
She could of also use another type of popular laser acne treatment called fractionated laser. It is called such because it only does a fraction of the skin at a time. The best way to understand how fractional resurfacing works is to think of a lawn being aerated. Fractional laser is the same, but on a microscopic scale. The fractional laser creates tiny "microthermal" zones deep into the skin which the skin repairs by pushing out the scar tissue replacing it with new skin. For each square centimeter, about 1000-2000 holes are created. This prompts the body's healing mechanism to produce collagen and new skin cells. The disadvantage to this is that the treatments are numerous, but the results are highly satisfactory with minimal down time and less side effects.
Finally, if your skin is normally dark (Hispanic, Asian or African American) your best bet may be to skip the lasers and go for chemicals that lighten the skin.
