RSS Feed You saw a laser on Instagram. Now you want it. But is it the right one for your skin, and does the name on the machine even matter? According to a dermatologist who owns more than 35 of them, it matters a lot less than who's holding the handpiece.
On this week's Facially Conscious episode, Which Laser Is Best for My Skin?, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Vicki Rapaport, esthetician Trina Reneá, and consumer advocate Julie Falls welcome back double board-certified dermatologist Dr. James Wang of Metropolis Dermatology to go behind the scenes of the laser business, and to talk about what you really need to know before you book.
In this episode:
The big laser companies, and why they're marketing straight to you
Why Dr. Wang says it's not the laser, it's who's doing your laser
Presets, and why good providers learn to safely go beyond them
Facial fat loss from energy devices, and why long-term data matters
Sofwave, XERF and the new wave of skin tightening
Lasers and skin of color, and the myth that any one laser is "safe for all skin types"
What practices do with their old lasers
Why a written treatment plan builds more trust than a one-and-done package
Hosted by Dr. Vicki Rapaport, Trina Reneá, and Julie Falls. Nobody pays us to say anything on this show.
