Laser Treatment Review from a Dermatologist

Thinking about laser treatments? Let’s break down the pros and cons of popular options: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): ✅ Pro: Great for treating brown spots and redness — but only for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick 1-3). ❌ Con: It struggles to distinguish between dark spots and natural skin pigment in deeper skin tones, risking burns or discoloration. Nd:YAG: ✅ Pro: Effective for facial veins and can be safer for darker skin tones. ❌Con: Requires strict eye protection — it can penetrate flimsy shields and potentially cause eye damage. Plus, it’s not great for leg veins — sclerotherapy works better for those. PDL (Pulsed Dye Laser): ✅ Pro: Targets redness and broken blood vessels. ❌Con: Certain settings cause bruising as part of the process — it’s a choice your provider makes, but healing may take longer. CO2 Laser: ✅ Pro: Strong heat delivery means amazing skin tightening ❌Con: The heat also raises the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation during healing — especially in deeper skin tones. Erbium YAG: ✅ Pro: Less heat than CO2. Dr. Levin loves this for treating surgical or traumatic scars. ❌Con: Can cause more bleeding during the procedure compared to other lasers. RF (Radio frequency) and Ultrasound: ✅ Pro: Stimulates collagen and tightens skin non-invasively. ❌Con: Rarely, it can cause lipoatrophy — the loss of fat cells in the face, which may worsen sagging. This risk is unpredictable. Bottom line: No laser is one-size-fits-all. Your skin type, the area you’re treating, and your goals all matter. Always work with a qualified provider who understands how these devices interact with different skin tones. #LaserTreatments #SkinResurfacing #IPL #NdYAG #PDLLaser #CO2Laser #ErbiumYAG #Radiofrequency #UltrasoundSkinTightening #DermatologyTips
