Use Non-Ablative Lasers to Regain Healthy and Youthful Skin

By: Lim Zheng Yang

Non-ablative lasers can help people with conditions such as wrinkles, brown spots and loss of elasticity.

Before such techniques were available, other invasive procedures resulted in open wounds that took very long to heal.

But now, non-ablative laser procedures can help people improve their skin conditions, without the demerits of older methods.

These lasers do not produce visible wounds because they only target just beneath the skin’s surface, leaving the uppermost layer of skin un-harmed.

By emitting a light pulse that is absorbed by the water in skin cells, these potent lasers can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine and deep lines, wherever they may appear on your face.

Additionally, the creation of collagen is triggered since the skin takes it as a signal to heal itself further.

The increase in collagen leads to smoother skin and less wrinkles.

Otherwise known as laser toning, non-ablative laser rejuvenation typically takes a quarter of an hour, and topical anesthetic cream may be applied thereafter.

This is to help sooth the redness and botched skin, which would otherwise last up to several hours.

The good news is, the patient can still put on make up right after the treatment.

The effects of these laser treatments usually lasts about half a year, and can be safely repeated in appropriate intervals to maintain the desired outcome.

In 2005 we witnessed many soldiers coming back from the War in Iraq with missing limbs, which were literally blown off by roadside bombs, mortars and improvised explosive devices. Some soldiers lost limbs from incoming RPGs or rocket propelled grenades. As unfortunate as this was for many a father coming home unable to hold their kids in their arms, it was a chance for the medical profession to test out and prove decades of research and perfecting of prosthetic devices to allow people who have been in horrific accidents full use of their bodies again. The amount of research and hard work going into these devices is truly remarkable and it brings back visions of the Six Million Dollar Man as Steve Austin was not only repaired but was better, faster and stronger!

The military is also looking into exo-skeleton systems which can be used by a human who has all their limbs working properly, which will assist them in moving faster, carrying more and not getting tired at all along the way. Able to hike thru rough terrain 50 miles or march 100 miles in one days time carrying 50 plus pounds of gear. In 2006 we will see those dreams become much closer to reality. We will also see research done to allow the exo-skelton system to regulate itself, monitor the body functions of the soldier and even sense and incoming mortar round and accelerate out of the way. All this is on the horizon and you can bet researchers are working hard to make it happen. So be thinking on this in 2006.
