Who Is a Good Candidate for Spectra?
The Spectra Laser Peel can be used to treat rosacea.
People with acne scars, liver spots, birthmarks, rosacea and varying skin tone created by enlarged oil glands on the nose are good candidates for Spectra Laser Peel. It is also good for anyone with fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet or sagging skin on the cheeks and jaws.
Acne scars can be fixed with the Spectra Laser Peel.
How Is Spectra Performed?
Before beginning the procedure, wet towels are placed around the face because some of the laser heat is absorbed by the humidity in the air. The laser is passed over the skin giving off quick pulses. The skin is sprayed with a saline solution between laser passes to keep it cool; the process usually takes about less than an hour.
Generally you’ll only feel a slight warming of your skin and a mild prickling sensation, which means an anesthesia isn’t necessary.
Are There Side Effects to Spectra?
After treatment, your skin may be slightly red, but that usually disappears within a few hours. In rare cases, some patients may experience itching or swelling for a few days; scabs; minor bruising; infection; and temporary hypo or hyper-pigmentation.
How Long Will Spectra Last?
