Light-based therapy is hot<br />

property, but which treatment<br />

works best for what?<br />

AimÉe Surtenich reports.<br />

Today’s lasers <strong>and</strong> light-based systems can<br />

significantly diminish <strong>and</strong> even reverse many<br />

of the tell-tale signs of ageing, from early<br />

lines, uneven pigmentation <strong>and</strong> broken capillaries<br />

to deep wrinkles <strong>and</strong> severe sun damage.<br />

They can reach much deeper levels <strong>and</strong><br />

affect far more significant changes than would<br />

be possible with most other common modalities<br />

of treatment, <strong>and</strong> without needing to invest<br />

significant money.<br />

Another bonus is that a light-based procedure<br />

procedure can often be performed in less than an<br />

hour <strong>and</strong> typically required little or no downtime.<br />

One of the most influential advances in<br />

aesthetic laser technology is fractional laser<br />

resurfacing (ablative <strong>and</strong> non-ablative), which can<br />

achieve skin rejuvenation results that approximate<br />

conventional ablative laser but with less aggressive<br />

treatment protocols <strong>and</strong>, so, fewer potential<br />

side effects.<br />

Here we list the most popular light therapies,<br />

from most heavy duty to least aggressive. csbm<br />
