Main Treatments with Light and Laser Sources

Multiple benefits for your skin

Photorejuvenation

Thanks to these devices, we can effectively treat solar lentigines (those sun-induced spots that mar our skin).

First, we rule out any signs of malignancy, then focus on finding the most appropriate treatment for your individual case. Often, we combine different technologies for superior results. The pairing of non-ablative fractional laser and IPL, for example, works exceptionally well to improve the appearance of spots and rejuvenate the skin.

Meanwhile, fractional CO₂ laser (ablative) is the most powerful tool for addressing the deepest wrinkles.

Acne and Acne Scars

Our peels and vascular pulsed-light treatments and CO₂ laser are perfect for treating this common skin condition. They are often combined with oral treatments, the application of hyaluronic acid, or cosmetic routines designed by our specialists after thoroughly evaluating your skin’s initial condition.

Types of Laser and Light Sources

All the technology we use at the García-Legaz Dermatological Institute

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Ideal for a multitude of dermatological treatments due to its great versatility—particularly effective against brown spots (lentigines), red lesions (telangiectasias, rosacea erythema), as well as for photorejuvenation.

FRAX 1550 (Non-Ablative Fractional Laser)

Useful for stimulating collagen synthesis to achieve younger-looking skin and improve its texture, pores, acne and surgical scars, and stretch marks.

Ndyag 1064

A vascular laser for treating nasal telangiectasias, angiomas, and venous lakes.

CO₂ Laser

Focused on eliminating benign skin lesions, such as warts, seborrheic keratoses, or moles. Additionally, in its fractional mode it combats scars and improves the tone and texture of fine wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got more questions? We've got answers!

What is the difference between laser and intense pulsed light?

Intense pulsed light (polychromatic, divergent, and incoherent) stands out for its unique versatility, which is why it is the technology most employed at the García-Legaz Dermatological Institute. This system offers multiple wavelengths capable of targeting different chromophores—such as spots or vascular issues—allowing for optimal results across a wide range of dermatological treatments.

On the other hand, laser light (monochromatic, unidirectional, and coherent) is defined by its precision, using a single wavelength. Moreover, each type of laser is specifically engineered to address particular skin problems.

What skin problems can be treated with light and laser sources at the García-Legaz Dermatological Institute?

This class of technology enables a variety of treatments focused on resolving different skin concerns:

Vascular lesions: Conditions in which hemoglobin is the chromophore absorbing the light, eliminating the blood vessels that concern us in cases like rosacea, hemangiomas, spider veins, and telangiectasias.
Benign spots: Such as solar lentigines.
Photorejuvenation and scarring: Thanks to increased collagen formation, these treatments yield excellent results for rejuvenating skin and reducing scars.
Dermatological surgery: Relying primarily on ablative lasers like CO₂, we effectively treat multiple benign lesions, including seborrheic keratoses and intradermal nevi.

Are there risks or contraindications with light or laser treatments?

Although it is impossible to reduce all risks and contraindications to zero, when treatments are performed by specialist professionals their potential consequences are minimized. Even so, at the García-Legaz Dermatological Institute we want you to be fully informed before proceeding.

Contraindications:

Pregnancy: There is insufficient scientific evidence regarding effects on pregnant women, so it is recommended to avoid any light- or laser-based treatment during this period.
Infection: If the skin area to be treated has an active infection (for example, a cold sore), treatment is not advised.
Photosensitizing medications: Certain drugs increase sensitivity to light, meaning they can trigger an unwanted skin reaction after laser or pulsed-light application.

On the other hand, although all our treatments are safe, on rare occasions some complications or adverse reactions may occur:

Redness or swelling that subsides over time.
Blisters, crusting, or burns.
Scarring, especially with ablative lasers.
Viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.
