I’m excited to have our very own Laser Specialist and Licensed Esthetician, Denise Wilson, joining me on today’s blog. With over 23 years of experience, Denise is sharing her expertise on one of the most commonly overlooked areas when it comes to laser treatments… the body! If you’ve only considered laser treatments for your face, keep reading. I think you’ll be surprised by everything laser treatments can do for the body.
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “laser treatment”? If you guessed “the face,” you’re absolutely right! Laser treatments are used to address a wide range of skin concerns, like fine lines and uneven texture, giving you the refreshed look we all love.
But your face shouldn’t be the only one getting all that care. Your body deserves it too especially when it comes to sun damage.
The neck, shoulders, arms, legs and chest are frequently exposed to the sun, yet we rarely think about it. The damage often isn’t obvious right away, so we don’t notice it until much later.
When that happens, it’s time to think about full-body rejuvenation. Luckily, treating the body with laser can do just that.
Sun Damage Takes Time to Appear
Burns and redness are part of the sun damage spectrum, but there’s so much more happening beneath the surface and the tricky part is, you may not even realize it.
That’s not your fault, though. Visible pigmentation, brown spots, and uneven texture can take time to appear, sometimes as long as 15 to 20 years.
That said, you already understand the importance of sun protection. Covering your upper body when possible and wearing daily SPF are essentials for enjoying summer to the fullest. Once summer winds down, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about correcting sun damage on the body.
Laser Treatments Aren’t Just for the Face
At Racquel Aesthetics & Wellness, we go beyond facial treatments. We provide customized care with close attention to the body parts most frequently exposed to the sun. Based on your skin and level of sun damage, here’s how we treat the body with laser:
•Sciton BBL- Excellent for treating visible pigmentation, sun spots, and uneven tone on the chest, arms, shoulders, and hands. It targets discoloration and helps bring the skin back to a clearer, more even-looking state.
•Sciton MOXI Laser- Ideal for pigmentation, early signs of aging, dullness, and overall skin quality. We recommend this treatment when you want a refreshed, smoother, more radiant look without something more aggressive.
•CoolPeel Laser- Another great option for pigmentation, anti-aging, and texture. It helps improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin while supporting a smoother, fresher looking surface.
Your Body Deserves All the Love After Summer
If you keep up with facial treatments after summer and notice that your facial skin doesn’t match the rest of your body, take it as a sign that the rest of your skin needs some love too. Treating the body with laser after consistent sun exposure helps your skin look more balanced, healthy, and natural. You deserve a unified look, not a face and body that seem to be aging at two different speeds.
So once summer’s behind you, consider repairing and rejuvenating your skin when sun exposure is at its lowest.
