The term Soft Laser actually means two different things. One is the Soft Laser treatment that a patient goes through under controlled conditions and with the supervision of a licensed professional. Another is the Soft Laser, the handheld device that is used to treat various skin problems and can be used at home by laymen. Soft Laser is also known as cold laser, healing laser etc. It works just like the sunlight works in the garden. The light of the sun stimulates the plants to produce more food.
The light released by the Soft Laser stimulates the collagen production in the skin. When skin is affected by acne, there is a permanent scar on the facial skin. The increased level of collagen will cause the skin in the acne affected area to be raised quickly, which will make it level with the rest of the skin. If the scars are shallow then they respond very fast with this treatment. Some even vanish in one session. However, such is not the case with deeper scars. Laser treatment these days is so good that a person can apply makeup right after the laser treatment. However, since different people have different skins it is only natural that the treatment does not work the same way for everyone. Therefore, before going for a full treatment, make sure that a certified esthetician has run tests and given you the green signal.
When pointed at the scar tissue, the Soft Laser is said to stimulate the cellular functions. This promotes the cell to heal faster and rebuild the skin. Although advertisements will claim to make you ten years younger, there are no substantial proofs to this. Users have also said that it cannot perform such miracles. However, the skin is said to get more luminous.
Most available Soft Lasers have video, flashcards and booklets that explain how to use the Soft Laser. They even come with goggles that are given for the eye protection. Usually the direction is to glide the laser over the skin for three to fifteen minutes. The time duration is usually dependent on the type of blemish that you have. Most users say that applying it for six minutes is good enough since you will be using it regularly.
Reviews
Reviewers have not given generally positive reviews on the Soft Laser technology. According to them, the Soft Laser has not been able to improve the look of the acne scars. Few have claimed mild improvement while some have said that they got no benefit even after using for six months.
Buying
If you decide to buy the Soft Laser, bear in mind that it costs a lot of money. So check for a site that offers the return option if you are dissatisfied with the use of the Soft Laser. Also, consult your doctor before buying a Soft Laser. The laser level in the Soft Laser is low, but there is the fact that everyone has different skins. Therefore, it may have adverse effects on your skin while it benefits others. So get a doctor’s advice before buying.
