In a rapidly evolving world, where technology is interwoven with our daily lives, dermatology is no exception to the embrace of futuristic methods. With over 30 years dedicated to the study and practice of skincare, I, Dr. Stella Bulengo, board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, am here to shine a light on one such captivating innovation—cold lasers.

Decoding Cold Lasers

(Laser Therapy is used for pain relief and stimulates tissue repair, reduces inflammation and relieves pain in musculoskeletal disorders, used in skin rejuvenation and as a hair loss treatment.)

Despite the intrigue its name might suggest, cold lasers, formally known as low-level laser therapy, aren't borrowed from a sci-fi narrative. They are cutting-edge, non-invasive skincare treatments. Delving into the mechanics, these devices emit gentle beams of light, effortlessly absorbed by the skin's cells. The result? Potentially expedited tissue repair, inflammation mitigation, and pain relief. In skin, Cold Lasers stimulate cell regeneration, reduce inflammation and increase blood circulation and are used to treat acne (also referred to as red light therapy) and rejuvenate the skin.  Cold lasers also called Low level lasers employ deep penetrating light to promote a chain of chemical reactions known as photobiostimulation and are used as a less invasive, tolerable treatment in hair loss to encourage hair growth. The Cold laser emits photons and irradiates them into scalp tissues to stimulate blood circulation.  Results vary per individual.

But, the pertinent question remains: What's driving the meteoric rise in cold laser's popularity?

As our societal ethos shifts towards embracing advanced, efficient, and minimally invasive technologies, cold lasers seem like a natural fit. They proffer a solution to a plethora of skin concerns, encompassing aging, acne, hair loss and more. And in an era defined by immediacy, the allure of a treatment with virtually no downtime, that seamlessly integrates into our hectic schedules, makes cold lasers a compelling option.

Evaluating Worth: An Expert's Perspective

Embarking on the journey of skincare, it's natural to ponder the worth of cold lasers. Admittedly, they come with a steeper price point. Yet, in the vast spectrum of skincare, the real value is derived from the tangible results a treatment or product delivers.

For those desiring swift, results with reduced skin irritation, less invasive procedure the investment in cold lasers could indeed be justified. However, the realm of skincare is diverse, and potent results can also blossom from regimented, targeted routines, repeated treatments employing high-caliber products.

To truly discern the value of cold lasers, introspection is vital. Reflect upon your skin's unique needs, your aspirational results, and the economic feasibility. Only then can you arrive at a choice that harmonizes with your skincare goals.
