Many people suffering from sun spots, age spots, vein bursts, or birthmarks were previously without hope, until now. Thanks to Guylaine Lanctot and the latest advances in laser therapy. Others who made earlier attempts at removal of these unsightly skin conditions have had less than desirable results. The use of dermabrasion, salabrasion and earlier versions of laser technology left scars behind in place of the blemished skin.

A recently developed laser therapy, now available at the Guylaine Lanctot Cliniques, is an extremely effective treatment whereby the skin lesion or pigmentation is removed by directing a specific wavelength of light which passes through the skin but is absorbed by the discolored area. The rapid absorption of light energy causes the lesion to detract. It is then removed by the body's natural filter system.

The Guylaine Lanctot Cliniques recognize your skin has special needs so we offer different laser therapies for different problem. We have attempted below to answer some of the questions you may have concerning laser therapy. Call today for an appointment, or speak with one of our dedicated, experiences staff members for more information.

Q. How many treatments will I need?

A. On average, less severe lesions require two to four treatments. Sunspots and age spots may require only one or two treatments.

A.The laser emits light in very short flashes of light called pulses. The impact of the energy from the powerful pulse of light is similar to the snap of a thin rubber band or a mild burning sensation on the skin.

Q. I have many brown sunspots on my back and arms I want to remove. Can laser treatment help?

A. Brown sunspots that grow in number and size as the year's pass can be easily removed. After treatment the brown spots will lightly scab over. Within two weeks, new skin will be revealed and within a month the skin tone will even and pigmentation will be restored.

Q. What other services does the Guylaine Lanctot Cliniques offer?

A. In addition to the removal of sunspots, age spots, birthmarks, and broken capillaries with laser treatment, our physicians can treat varicose veins with traditional sclerotherapy and the revolutionary Ultrasound Guidance Sclerotherapy for advanced cases of varicose veins.
