Luxurious Lasers
Are you ready for your close-up?
Do you ever wonder how celebs achieve that “flawless” skin? Does it involve strategic airbrushing? Heavy makeup? Botox? Blood-sucking leeches?
Pore-clogging cosmetics, scary needles, and swampy creatures haven’t made the road to perfect skin easy or painless…but now there’s a better way.
Enter the laser. From acne to wrinkles, laser treatments act as a cure-all, nixing meds, peels, shots, and even surgery!
Dr. Bobby Buka, derm to stars like SJP and Julianne Moore, details the benefits of lasers and how they can solve all our skin struggles. “From red spots to brown spots,” Dr. Bobby says, “there is a laser for everyone.”
Red Spots: Goodbye Clearasil! This relatively new treatment combines an ALA solution activated with a blue laser light that kills acne-causing bacteria. With only two simple steps, clear skin is yours for six months to a year! Now teenagers will have to be angry for another reason.
Brown Spots: Prep your skin for sexy summer swimsuits by removing not-so-sexy sunspots, freckling, and spider veins. Gentle lasers work to combat those first signs of aging by evening out pigment and diffusing redness. After this procedure, the skimpier the swimsuit, the better.
Wrinkles: Forget face-lifts; lasers are handling the heavy work when it comes to wrinkles. Dr. Bobby tells us they work best on wrinkles caused by sun damage and general aging (i.e. the wrinkles that don’t go away even when your face is still!). With just one session you can have results similar to a chemical peel.
Lasers treatments are not inexpensive but the results should last a long time. Depending on the treatment and doctor you can expect to pay somewhere between $100-500 per session.
