SCOTTSDALE, AZ - 01/19/2007 - If you live
with unwanted hair, sun damage, facial veins, leg veins, or acne,
you may be surprised to find out that these conditions can all be
treated with the same light-based technology.
“Most people
are familiar with laser hair removal or some other form of
light-based hair reduction,” says Dr. John Shufeldt, CEO of NextAesthetics with offices in Scottsdale, AZ. “But few know how
versatile light-based treatments have become. We’ve gotten to the
point where one system can treat unwanted hair, sunspots, spider
veins, acne, leg veins, rosacea, and more. It’s a tremendous
advantage to both doctor and patient to treat all of these
conditions without having to use multiple devices or refer the
patient to another practitioner.
“I use the Palomar StarLux™ Pulsed Light and
Laser System myself,” explains Dr. John Shufeldt. “Though they are
very similar to lasers, pulsed light
systems use a much larger lens than lasers. This spreads more light
over a larger area of skin and allows faster coverage of the skin
and quicker treatments as a result.”
During treatments, filtered light is directed
onto the skin and absorbed by the melanin in hair or pigmented
lesions and the blood in visible vessels. The light heats the
pigment and disables the hair follicles and the cells that produce
the pigment. In the case of vessels, the light is absorbed by the
hemoglobin within the veins, causing them to
shrink and fade
from view.
“The StarLux
cools the skin as it treats, allowing
for safe and effective
treatments,” says Dr. John Shufeldt. “Most patients describe the
light pulses as a ‘snapping’ sensation, which causes mild discomfort
at most. After the treatment, there may be some redness for a few
days, but that quickly fades and the patient can enjoy the effects
of smoother, clearer skin, with improved tone and texture.”
