Rosacea/Redness Laser Treatment
StarLux™ System
Pulsed Light Rejuvenation/Laser Light was designed to combat the effects of aging and damaged skin in a softer, gentler way. The redness and flushing of rosacea can be reduced 80 to 90 percent. It can be used to treat the full face, neck, chest and even the hands. Using the advanced Pulsed Light/Laser systems, your doctor gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through your skin's surface. Treatments are spaced out at about three or four week intervals.
The StarLux System is the most powerful aesthetic light system in the world and the most expensive system made for pure pulsed light specialization. The StarLux system will do in two treatments what other systems will take four to seven treatments to accomplish, and in most patients one treatment will make a very significant improvement. Beware of the "advertising blitz" of the many low to mid quality intense pulsed light systems in various spas and laser clinics. Their prices may seem slightly better to the uninformed, but the excessive number of treatments, lower power, and inferior quality of their instruments will end up costing you usually 200% to 400% more to accomplish the same goal. For example, one of our patients went to a clinic in the Overland Park area and did five IPL treatments (that is what she was told she needed by this clinic), they sold her a package of five treatments for $2000, and the patient said she saw absolutely no difference from all five of their IPL treatments. She came to our clinic and we did one treatment with the StarLux intense pulsed light system, and she said she was amazed at the improvement in redness, blood vessels, age spots and pore size, with estimated improvement of about 80% after just the one treatment, and we charged her $300. |
The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize your results based on your skin type and clinical exam. The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased. The redness associated with rosacea and blood vessels can be dramatically reduced. Often irregular pigmentation and age spots are generally lightened and improved.
What results can I expect?
Often after only one treatment, your skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade. Pore sizes tend to shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size. Usually these improvements will steadily increase with each subsequent treatment. Patients with rosacea will see a progressive decrease in redness with every treatment.
How do Pulsed Light/Laser Light Photo Rejuvenation treatments work?
Today's new light technology delivers precise dosages of energy to the skin. During your treatment, light energy is gently delivered through a special handpiece to the targeted area. Levels of energy specific to your treatment are used to maximize your improvement. Once delivered, the light energy is absorbed by the targeted damaged tissue. The settings are based on your specific skin type and clinical exam. In our clinic, only a physician will do your treatments, bear this in mind, because in many clinics, non-physician technicians are performing the treatments.
Call our office at (913) 962-1869 to schedule an appointment today! Our fees are very reasonable, and competitive with most any "technician laser shop" around, so why not have a physician do your treatments? Our office will try to be very fair, very competitive, and upfront about your costs. We want you as a patient!
