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.
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.
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.
