Lasers are used for a variety of purposes, from treating skin disorders to performing cosmetic surgery. In this article, let’s explore the benefits of laser treatment for the skin.
Laser skin treatment from Australian laser and skin clinics has been gaining popularity in Australia, and the industry is expected to grow by 8% by 2024.
Australia’s laser skin treatment market was worth $146 million in 2016 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% through 2024. Most revenue comes from non-invasive procedures such as laser hair removal and chemical peels. This category is projected to reach $260 million by 2024.

Acne treatment
Acne treatment is one of the most common uses for laser therapy. It works by emitting light in the red and infrared spectrum that targets bacteria causing acne and sebum production, resulting in clearer skin.
This treatment can treat mild to moderate acne on your face or body. If you have a darker complexion, it is vital that you discuss this with your dermatologist before proceeding with laser therapy.
Hair removal
Laser hair removal is a safe, effective, long-lasting solution for unwanted hair. This process can be used on all skin types and colours. Laser hair removal does not remove the entire root of the hair follicle; instead, it heats the follicle, causing it to stop producing hair for many months or years. The procedure takes several sessions to eliminate the existing hairs on your body; however, you can expect to see results within just a few days after each treatment session.
Wrinkle reduction
Laser treatments can help reduce wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. Several factors, including sun damage, ageing and genetics, cause wrinkles.
Scar reduction
Lasers are a safe and effective treatment for reducing the appearance of scars. They can be used to treat all types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and burn scars. Laser treatments are often combined with other treatments like microdermabrasion or chemical peels to achieve optimal results.
Spider vein elimination
For spider veins, the laser is applied to the vein, which heats it and causes it to collapse. The spider vein disappears permanently or until the treated area is exposed to UV light (sunlight, tanning beds). This type of treatment can be repeated as needed.
Rosacea treatment
Laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure with an intense beam of light. It can be used to treat redness, bumps and pimples. It can also improve the appearance of tiny blood vessels visible on the skin’s surface.
Skin tightening
Laser treatments from Australian laser and skin clinics can help to tighten skin and reduce wrinkles. Scars, spider veins and dark spots can be reduced or eliminated. Laser treatment improves skin tone, texture and overall appearance of your skin. Laser therapy may be right for you if you want to improve the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles on your face and neck.
The results are often dramatic!
Dark spot reduction
· Dark spots: Laser treatments can reduce the appearance of dark spots and improve your skin’s texture.
· Pigmentation: This treatment will also treat any pigmentation on your skin, whether from old acne scars or sun damage.
· Skin discolouration: The laser’s light energy will target areas of uneven skin tone, such as freckles, age spots and melasma (dark patches caused by hormones).
Stretch mark treatment
Stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched so much that it cannot recover. They are red and can be raised or flat. Laser treatments are effective for treating stretch marks but best for treating them when they are still red and have not become white or silvery-looking.
Laser treatments have many benefits for your skin, and each is unique. The best way to find out which treatment is right for you is by visiting a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon who can help you choose the best option. As always, talk to your doctor before starting any new treatment and throughout treatment to ensure safety and efficacy.
