Spectrum Laser Treatment

What Is Spectrum Laser?

The Spectrum Laser is a state-of-the-art, multi-wavelength laser platform designed to treat a wide range of skin concerns safely and effectively. Combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, Spectrum offers highly customizable treatments for skin resurfacing, pigment correction, vascular lesions, and more — all with FDA clearance and an excellent safety profile.

How Spectrum Laser Works

Spectrum Laser harnesses various laser wavelengths — including erbium:YAG for precise resurfacing and Nd:YAG for deeper collagen stimulation and vascular treatments. Each wavelength targets specific skin layers to remodel collagen, break down unwanted pigmentation, and coagulate vascular lesions. This flexibility allows providers to tailor treatment depth and energy to match your skin type and specific concerns, delivering optimal results with minimal risk.

Who’s a Good Candidate?

Spectrum Laser is suitable for a wide range of skin types and phototypes, thanks to its versatile wavelength options. Ideal candidates are those seeking improvement in texture, pigmentation, vascular concerns, or scars.

Contraindications may include:

  • Recent significant sun exposure or sunburn
  • Active skin infections or open wounds

A thorough pre-treatment consultation will include a skin exam and medical history review to ensure that Spectrum Laser is safe and effective for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

1

Before Your Session

  • We’ll prepare your skin with a topical numbing cream applied 30–45 minutes before treatment to ensure comfort.
  • Protective eyewear will be provided during the session.

2

During Treatment

  • Your provider will guide you through the process: consultation → laser passes → optional cooling or soothing steps.
  • Expect a mild warmth or “prickling” sensation as the laser works on your skin.
  • Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and intensity.

Aftercare & Recovery

1

Immediately After

  • Mild redness, swelling, and possible micro-crusting or bronzing are normal.
  • Apply cooling masks or ice packs within the first 24 hours to minimize swelling.

2

Home Care

  • Use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser and a fragrance-free moisturizer.
  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, reapplying every 2 hours.
  • Avoid rigorous activity, excessive heat, and direct sun exposure during the recovery phase.

3

Downtime

  • Expect 24–72 hours of redness and light swelling.
  • Most patients feel comfortable returning to work or social events within 2–3 days, often with light makeup.

4

Results & Maintenance

  • Initial improvements appear within 5–7 days as skin tone brightens.
  • Collagen continues to remodel over 2–3 months, with results lasting 1–2 years or more when maintained with proper skincare and occasional touch-up sessions.
