If you were born before 1995, it’s clear that what we used to consider “future technology” is available right now. Lasers used to be magical tools used in science fiction films like Star Wars or Star Trek.
Today, laser technology people use lasers for so-called “common tasks.” Have you used a 3D scanner at work? Or operated a laser machine to cut wood or weld? They are also used for optical storage, to survey land, to remove tooth decay, and to cut diamonds. Seeing how easy and precise a laser can handle these tasks is incredible. Because the cut is so clean and perfect, lasers have become valuable surgical partners in our healthcare system. Used as scalpels, along with a surgeon’s guidance, a laser can support successful brain, heart, and lung surgery. It can remove a tumor without disturbing the healthy tissue around it!
It’s no surprise laser technology is so prevalent in aesthetic and medical dermatology. Although the laser was first operated in 1960, the general public only had access to its wonders for skin care in the early 2000s. It’s no secret aesthetic lasers have moved skincare into the new age. Laser skin care treatments are quick, comfortable, and can provide longer-lasting results.
What can lasers can do for your skin?
Another name for Laser skin treatments is photorejuvenation. The technology reduces and removes skin ailments and can reinvigorate the skin cells, creating new collagen. This helps tighten the skin for a more youthful glow.
The laser handles double-duty when used on the skin. It not only carefully removes the outer layer of the skin, it also stimulates the underlying dermis. This is a terrific treatment for Bay Area patients who suffer from acne, scars, age spots, or uneven skin tone. Eventually, deeper skin layers will rise to the surface, looking fresher and smoother.
Our clinic uses laser technology for a variety of skin problems, both medical and aesthetic. For instance, medical laser treatments can help remove or improve conditions such as acne, hyperpigmentation, eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis. Although SVAD manages aesthetic skin care treatments, our team is founded in medicine. Our co-founders are Dr. Miguel Canales and Dr. Juliano Canales. Dr. Miguel Canales is a member of the American Society of Dermatologic Surgeons. He has medical and surgical training at Harvard Medical School and Stanford University Hospital. Dr. Juliano Canales is the Medical Director and Chief Operations Officer.

Lasers Can Be Amazing and Fun, but They Must Be Handled with Care!
Laser pointers are a hot item. These pointers are used for business presentations and in classrooms. A strong pointer with an intense beam is handy for camping trips and starting campfires as well. Laserlight shows are popular forms of entertainment too.
Anyone who’s used a laser pen around a cat can tell you lasers are fun. Pointing them on a wall or the ground to burn that feline energy is pretty cute. But take the same pen and point it at someone’s face, and that person could go blind. It’s been made illegal to point lasers up in the sky at planes since they can disrupt a pilot’s vision. Green laser pointers are banned because of this.
Laser technology is powerful and must be handled with care. The right laser skin care can improve the quality of a person’s life. If misused, it can cause permanent damage.
