532nm Laser in Santa Cruz, CA
aAt RSMD we combine IPL and 532nm Laser Peel treatments to dramatically rejuvenate the complexion giving you younger, healthier skin.
532nm Laser Peel stimulates collagen remodeling at the dermal level to improve overall skin texture and also removes unwanted pigment at the same time. IR tightening is a procedure that uses infrared light to remodel collagen, causing skin to regain its firmness and smooth appearance.
As a result, the 532nm laser peel is an ideal treatment for “cleaning up” unwanted pigmentation. The collagen stimulation benefits are also helpful for addressing rough skin texture, uneven skin tone, and large pores.
Frequently asked questions
What is 532nm Laser?
532nm LASER PEEL is a non-ablative treatment used to “clean up” unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen remodeling to treat the following:
- Rough Skin Texture
- Uneven Skin Tone
- Large Pores
Do 532nm laser treatments hurt? How long does the treatment take?
Some discomfort may be experienced during this procedure, but a numbing cream is used to help with discomfort. Treatments are typically completed in 45 minutes, although the exact duration can vary depending on the size of the treatment area.
How many 532nm laser treatments will I need?
One treatment is what most patients require for dramatic results. Occasionally, a second treatment may be recommended for a more thorough clean-up.
How often will I need treatments?
Treatment is recommended annually to maintain results.
What should I expect after 532nm laser treatment?
Immediately after treatment, the skin may feel warm or sunburned and temporary redness may occur which typically resolves in 2 to 3 days. Pigmented areas get darker and flake off over 1 to 2 weeks. Avoid picking, scratching or removing flakes. We also recommend that you use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater and avoid excessive sun exposure to treatment area during this time.
Gradual pigment lightening may also occur for one month or so after treatment. While this procedure is called a Laser Peel, the skin rarely peels. Any residual discomfort may be alleviated by ice pack. Gentle non-active topical products can be applied if any irritation occurs.
