Intense Pulsed Light (also known as “IPL” or Photorejuvenation) is a concentrated beam of visible light. The beam contains numerous wavelengths of light, which is why it differs from a laser (which contains only one wavelength of light). Each pulse of light passes through the top of the skin and is absorbed by unwanted brown and red pigments within the skin.
Ablative laser resurfacing removes the top layer of the skin in a very precise manner, leading to improvement in skin texture, tone, sun damage and wrinkles. It is also used to smooth out unwanted bumps. For patients with extensive sun damage, laser resurfacing can be an effective method to "reset" the skin to a healthier state.
Laser treatments are effective at removing brown spots due to sun damage. As the laser passes through the skin, brown pigment absorbs the light preferentially.
How does laser and other light based hair reduction work?
Laser and other light based hair reductions work by passing through the skin and being absorbed by the pigmented part of the hair follicle underneath the skin. With repeated treatments, the hair growth is permanently reduced. Because pigment in the follicle is needed for effective treatment, gray, blonde, and white hairs unfortunately will not respond to this form of therapy.
The laser tattoo removal process begins when the laser penetrates the skin and becomes absorbed by the tattoo ink.

How does the laser work? The laser is composed of a single wavelength of light. It passes through the skin and is absorbed by the unwanted vessels. As this occurs, some veins will vanish while others may darken and go away gradually over several weeks. At Dermatology and Laser Center of Oklahoma, we have multiple lasers that treat facial veins, and the goal of our consultation is to match the laser that is safest and best suited for your skin type and veins.

What is Sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is a technique in which a solution is injected into superficial leg veins to improve their appearance. The solution irritates the vessel’s walls, causing them to stick together, shrivel up, and go away.
The Cynergy Yag 1064 nm laser targets the superficial veins on the leg. Because these veins are cosmetic in nature and not significant in returning blood to the heart, they can be safely removed to improve the appearance of the legs. As the laser passes through the skin, it is specifically absorbed by the superficial veins, which cause them to shrivel up and go away. Not all veins respond, and multiple treatments may be needed.
The SkinPen treats textural issues such as acne scars, fine lines, unwanted pigmentation, wrinkles, stretch marks, and surgical scars.
Subcision is a procedure used to elevate depressed scars, such as rolling acne scars. It accomplishes this by releasing the fibrous attachments below the skin that may “tether” the scar down.
Dermabrasion is a procedure in which scars are “sanded” to smooth them out. It can be helpful in improving the appearance of some surgical and acne scars.
CROSS stands for “Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars”. It is used to treat depressed facial scars, such as acne scars. A chemical is applied to the base of the scar.
Ablative fractional laser resurfacing is a laser technology that can be used to smooth, blend, and minimize the appearance of surgical, acne, traumatic, and burn scars.
The pulsed dye laser is a single wavelength of light (585 nm) that reduces unwanted redness. It is used to treat scars and stretch marks that are red in color.
