By Della Monroe


Aging is associated with many mental and physical changes. Aging skin is associated with wrinkling and sagging. These is bound to be very stressful if it occurs prematurely. There are a number of things that can be done to reduce these effects. Laser therapy is one of those that are commonly used in Worcester. If they intend to benefit from laser skin rejuvenation Westborough should know a few basics beforehand.

Apart from old age, wrinkling and sagging of skin has been associated with some skin conditions. The commonly affected parts of the body are the face and the neck. Affected persons will characteristically exhibit prominent nasal folds, brow lines and increased tissue deposition under the eyes. These changes have been attributed to slowing of collagen metabolism. Collagen is one of the most important connective tissues in the body.

Laser rejuvenation is a non-invasive technique that makes use of infrared technology. The idea is to heat up damaged collagen in the dermal skin layer. This causes injury and subsequent healing and remodelling. New collagen is formed and this tends to support the skin better and to reduce the sagging. There is very little damage to the epidermis layer if any.

This technique is suitable for conditions that affect both men and women. It is also effective in virtually in skin tone. It is important to be evaluated beforehand by a dermatologist so that the treatment is individualised by choosing the most appropriate type of laser beam. At the same time, any conditions that may contraindicate the procedure are identified.

The entire exercise lasts for between thirty to sixty minutes. As the beam is directed to the area of interest, you will experience warmth. This will persist until the beam is turned off. The beam has great precision and this enables the therapist to focus only on the affected areas and to spare those that are normal.

Most people will get optimal results after about six sessions of treatment. Additional sessions after these will be given at six week intervals. There are very few side effects that include swelling, bruising, redness, blister formation and increased redness. These side effects tend to resolve spontaneously in a few days. It should be noted that since the procedure uses ionizing radiation, overexposure may carry a risk of malignancies in the long term.

A lot of patience is required when using this therapy. Unlike many other forms of treatment, the results may not be immediate. Some people have had to wait for weeks or months before they notice the much desired change. This is because success relies on the natural healing mechanisms of the body.

The therapy is fairly affordable for most people with most therapists basing their charges on the surface area affected as well as the type of beam that is employed. Another advantage is that clients can carry on with their daily routines even as they continue attending the sessions. There may be a need to complement the procedure with ant-aging creams.
