Before
Before patients can undergo treatment with the 532 nm Varilite laser, they must first be deemed appropriate candidates. This includes undergoing a thorough physical examination and allowing Dr. Mary Lupo to review any past and present medical concerns and history. Patients of all skin types can address lesions and pigmentation problems with this laser therapy. Once patients have decided to undergo laser skin resurfacing, an appointment is made for treatment.
During
The Varilite devices administer special laser wavelengths, which help target areas of pigmentation. Patients experience mild discomfort, though local anesthetics are not necessary. Treatment time is relatively short, often within 20 minutes. Patients can treat their face, neck, or décolleté with the Varilite laser.
After
After treatment, many patients may experience some redness. However, this is short-term and can be covered with cosmetics if necessary. Most individuals return to work or their daily activities with no interruption.
Patients interested in improving their appearance with the 532 nm Varilite laser can contact the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in the New Orleans area to learn more about this treatment and determine if it is right for their skin concern needs. It can be an affordable, effective way to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and lesions that may otherwise be considered bothersome or embarrassing.
