Description

The world of lasers for the skin can be confusing and overwhelming with new treatments popping up daily. What works? What doesn't? And a little clarity, please, on what these "energy based devices" can and cannot do. This podcast helps both patients and practitioners navigate through the different energy based devices (Laser, IPL and RF) as well as decoding the numerous injectables such as Botox, Fillers and PDO threads, to help gain a better understanding and to evaluate if these types of procedures are right for you. Yes, so true...we all age, but how we age is our choice and hopefully you will walk away with a greater insight into the wild, wonderful world of lasers. This show is hosted by Dr. Raminder "Minni" Saluja (board certified ophthalmologist and fellowship trained in Cosmetic Dermatology) and Kane Rogers. No quizzes at the end so sit back and enjoy and DM us for questions you would love to see answered in upcoming shows. Instagram: SalujalaserMD

Photobiomodulation (LED or LLLT) utilizes light to trigger biological changes.  It primarily involves red (633 nm) and near infrared light (830 nm) for wound healing and tissue repair by promoting cellular growth and regeneration which accelerates the healing process. It also helps reduce inflammation and pain in muscular injuries.Neuroprotective effects are also being studied to enhance cognitive effects and help protect from neural inflammation seen in a variety of disease states of the brain.PBM is non-invasive, non-thermal and now at home devices are available.Hope you enjoy!Dr. Saluja and KaneThank you for your listenership!

Fractional CO2 laser was first brought to market in 1964 but really did not gain notoriety for cutaneous or skin conditions until the 90's.  It was "fractionated" in 2006 and from that time, it became popularized in that now skin conditions could be treated without having the excessive downtime  of the older, full field lasers.  As patients lives invariably have become busier and busier, the desire for a laser that can give visible results but without the extreme downtimes became more desirable.Now it is is still important to note that there is a downtime, but with the Coolpeel function of the Tetra CO2 laser, this becomes very manageable.This episode will go through fractional co2 laser and specifically the Tetra CO2 laser (made by Deka and distributed in the US by Cartessa Laser).  It will also walk you through the differences between Coolpeel and DekaDeep settings to see which one may be right for you.Enjoy!Thank you for your listenership!
Lasemd is a fractional non-ablative laser that keeps the top layer of the skin (epidermis) intact and lays down tiny little micro zones into the top layer of the dermis to help stimulate elastin and collagen.  It also is a powerful tool to allow for the topical delivery of cosmeceuticals.  This laser does not carry a very long downtime (there is some redness and a "gritty" sensation) for several days.It is one of our "gateway" laser procedure to begin to minimize the fine lines and wrinkles and for helping to minimize the benign pigmented spots on the skin.We have before and after photos on our instagram page at SalujalaserMD. Thank you for your listenership!
Daxxify, the new 6 month toxin is coming to market.  How does it compare with the current toxins?  What are the differences between Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau?  The next 6-9 months will give us a greater amount of information on how to best utilize Daxxify and how practitioners can incorporate this into their practice. Thank you for your listenership!

IPL is one of my favorite energy based devices to utilize to help tackle the red broken capillaries and benign brown pigmentation of the skin.   It helps to clear up the photodamage and reveal your beautiful underlying skin.There are some things to know about IPL, pre and post care and so listen to the episode and you will find all about IPL!Enjoy!Thank you for your listenership!
Radiofrequency (electrical energy) is a wonderful energy based modality that can be used on any skin type from light to dark.  RF energy can be monopolar energy (where a grounding pad is worn) or Bipolar energy.  In the Bipolar category is RFMN (radio-frequency microneedling) which has become very popular in aesthetic clinics.This episode describes the different types and what a patient can expect with these type of treatments.It also clearly describes the difference between microneedling and radio-frequency micro-needling (RFMN).Enjoy!Thank you for your listenership!
Diving into ablative versus non-ablative laser and fractional versus full field laser.  Okay, that sounds "sciencey" but as you categorize this information, it becomes very simplistic to understand.Classic ablative lasers are CO2 laser an Erbium lasers and they vaporize the top layer of the skin (epidermis) down to the dermal layer.  They are considered the more aggressive type of laser, when compared to non-ablative lasers.There are so many different types of lasers and this podcast introduces you to the concepts.  With each subsequent podcast, we will delve deeper into different energy based devices so that you understand the downtimes and what these devices can and cannot do for you!Hope you enjoy!If you have any questions, don't hesitate to DM us at SalujalaserMD on instagram.Thank you for your listenership!
