It’s that time of year again. The weather is dry, leaving your skin barrier in need of some extra TLC. If record-breaking low temperatures aren’t doing a number on your body, you must be superhuman. Personally, I’m not only sipping lots of purified water and focusing on hydration, but I’m also exploring the latest scientific advancements from the company specializing in innovative, energy-based treatments that stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. When fierce winds and brittle cold upset the delicate balance of the skin barrier, Skin Laundry‘s Laser Facials use advanced technology to bring your complexion back to life.
As a non-invasive solution to common skin problems, a laser facial can obliterate fine lines, tackle acne scars and hyperpigmentation, or simply enhance skin texture. How does it work?
The Science Behind Laser Facials
Laser, an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is essentially a focused beam of light that can be amplified to target specific areas of the skin. Made up of one singular wavelength of light, when directed at the skin, the laser is absorbed by chromophores—molecules within the skin that absorb light – and converted into heat. The heat selectively damages the target without harming surrounding tissue, making it the most effective treatment for a wide range of skin concerns – from reducing redness to stimulating collagen production. Not only is the laser’s penetrating beam hard to beat in sheer potency, but it can also effectively reduce acne and hyperpigmentation by addressing the underlying causes and contributing factors, such as excess oil production, inflammation, or bacterial growth. By delivering focused light energy beneath the skin, the laser reduces the size and activity of the sebaceous glands, providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
While the technology’s application to medical and aesthetic treatments has been around for decades, the continual evolution of laser technology has significantly expanded the treatment’s potential benefits for the skin. In addition to being an industry pioneer in terms of applying laser technology for aesthetic purposes, what sets Skin Laundry apart is its customized facial packages. Whether you’re looking for deep collagen stimulation, acne scar reduction, or simply a more youthful appearance, your Skin Laundry provider will adjust the specific laser wavelengths to target your unique skin concerns.
My treatment at the Tribeca location began with a digital skincare analysis and a team of experts assessing my overall needs. I appreciated the clean feel of the clinic, somewhere between a luxury spa and a medical facility, minus the pretentiousness and long wait times. All first-timers begin with the Signature Laser Facial, a treatment that penetrates to the deeper dermal layer of the skin, where skin concerns such as vascular issues, sebum production, and collagen remodeling originate. Effectively damaging the target without harming surrounding tissues, getting a laser facial is like doing a turbo-powered face mask. Hot and tingly, but painless. Powerful, without the scarring or downtime of many other treatments, like microneedling. I got my facial on Wednesday morning and was glowing by date night.
Not only does the heat produced by the high-energy infrared light kill acne-causing bacteria and treat vascular damage (and the accompanying redness), it also stimulates new collagen production. By stimulating collagen production, the lasers can also reduce post-acne scarring and improve overall skin texture, particularly after several treatments. Effective in the targeting of both superficial and deeper forms of hyperpigmentation, laser facials are “Precise, effective, and safe for all skin tones,” reports Dr. Roberta Del Campo, Skin Laundry’s Chief Medical Officer.
Say goodbye to dark spots or patches caused by sun exposure, acne scars, hormonal changes, or inflammation. The lasers also effectively treat freckles, melasma, and age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. By stimulating collagen synthesis, lasers help restore skin structure and strength, improving elasticity by activating the skin’s natural repair mechanisms.
As soon as your first treatment, you can also customize with various add-ons such as the Revitalizer detoxifying carbon peel or the Rejuvenator gentle chemical peel. Both highly potent, vivifying treatments are available for the face, neck, and chest.
Immediately following my session, the Skin Laundry provider lovingly coated me with a plant-based strawberry serum and a layer of SPF 50 protection. After a quick glance in the mirror at my radiant looks, I was ready to hit the streets. As Skin Laundry’s award-winning 15-minute ‘Hero’ treatment, the Signature Laser Facial is the ideal way to explore the benefits of laser facials.
