What is Solar Keratoses?

Solar keratoses (actinic keratoses) are scaly, dry patches of skin that are sun damaged. They are usually between 1cm - 2cm in size, can feel itchy and can be skin toned or range from pink to red to brown.

What causes solar keratoses?

Solar keratoses are most commonly caused by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. UV light comes from indoor tanning equipment or the sun. Without treatment, solar keratoses can lead to a skin cancer known as squamous cell carcinoma.

Baby Face Facial FAQs

How does it work?

The Baby Face Facial, uses the LaseMD Ultra™, a cutting-edge 1927nm fractional THULIUM laser, to create tiny microchannels in the skin while using a unique drug delivery system with an active which is tailored to your specific skin needs. The laser will stimulate collagen production and boost the skin’s natural healing process. This non-invasive treatment helps improve texture, tone, and overall skin health as well as addressing any skin concerns you may have.

What can I expect after treatment?

You may experience redness or warmth on the skin, similar to a mild sunburn. This is usually resolved within 24 hours. You may also notice mild flaking or peeling as your skin rejuvenates - this is completely normal and can be managed with a gentle moisturizer. To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen throughout the healing process.

For optimal results and long-term maintenance, three or more sessions per year are usually recommended. For pigmentation a course of 5-6 treatments are recommended over a 6 month period.

What can I expect during my Baby Face treatment?

We begin by cleansing the skin and applying a topical numbing cream for maximum comfort during treatment. The laser is then gently passed over your skin, creating micro-channels that stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
