The FASTEST Way To Reverse Skin Aging (New Science)

Dr. Stanfield: I’m maybe one of the few photonics engineers who is also a regular viewer! (Well… maybe there could be more! ;) Anyways, quick tip: Nobody calls them “E-R Lasers”. They are referenced as “YAG lasers” (with short-A like yak). YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) is the main crystal lattice forming a “solid-state” lasing gain-media (vs gas lasers like CO2, HeNe, Argon, etc), and is ‘doped’ (lightly populated) with other elements such as Neodymium (‘Nd:YAG’), Erbium (Er:YAG), etc which shift the center frequency. So, yes, Nd:YAG is different than a Er:YAG, but they’d just call it an “Erbium” laser if they were specifying the particular 2.94um output wavelength. Anyways - I’m sure no one here really cares, but thought you’d get a smile from this flavor of feedback in the comments section! Thx for what u do!

I use a home red light/near infrared light mask. I used to have broken red capillaries on my cheeks, they’re gone now. My skin at age 65 is better than years ago. Of course I also take healthy supplements like MK7, Vitamin D (2,000 IU), and a low-dose multi; eat healthy by cooking all my own stuff from scratch, and I do aerobic exercise 30 to 90 minutes per day depending on how I feel on a particular day. I’m much stronger now than years ago too.

Please Dr Brad. Do Microneedling. For skin and for hair. Different depths, devices (derma-pen, dermaroller, dermastamp), differences in needle depths for different sections of skin, needle depths for different effects (fine lines, hair growth, etc), combination therapies (with red light, topical applications), advice for home DIY microneedling, etc.

Dr Brad, if you could do a comprehensive video on red (and NIR) light therapy, all the potential health benefits including variants on pulsing Hz frequency and other variables, well, that would be highly appreciated.

I like how these very young women with near perfect skin are getting these treatments.

How does this compare to micro needling?

Summary (with chapter timestamps): This video discusses various laser-based technologies for skin rejuvenation, including ablative, non-ablative, and fractional lasers, detailing their pros, cons, and effectiveness in targeting different signs of skin aging. It also touches on emerging technologies like red light therapy and the importance of consulting healthcare providers for personalized treatments. 0:00 🔬 How Laser Skin Rejuvenation Works • Laser skin rejuvenation damages skin in a controlled manner to trigger wound healing. • This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy, youthful skin. • Precise laser damage prompts the skin to rebuild itself stronger than before. 1:51 🔥 Ablative Laser Treatments • Ablative lasers remove the top layer of skin and stimulate changes in deeper layers. • CO2 lasers are effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and tightening skin, considered the gold standard. • ER lasers cause less damage with shorter recovery, excellent for fine lines but may require multiple treatments. 4:12 ✨ Non-Ablative Technologies • Non-ablative treatments don't remove the surface layer of skin; instead, they penetrate below the surface to heat tissues and promote collagen production. • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) targets freckles, age marks, and small red veins with minimal downtime but requires multiple sessions. • Radio frequency devices use electrical current or light waves to heat the skin, stimulating collagen production for tighter, smoother skin. 6:35 💡 Other Non-Ablative Options • Photodynamic therapy applies a chemical to the skin that is activated by light, destroying damaged skin cells and promoting new cell growth. • Red light therapy uses low-intensity red light to stimulate cellular activity and enhance collagen production, blood circulation, and healing. • Red light therapy is an emerging treatment with growing interest, but more research is needed to support its uses. 8:38 ➗ Fractional Laser Technologies • Fractional laser technology treats columns of skin separated by untreated areas, reducing total damage and speeding up healing. • Fractional lasers can be nearly as effective as non-fractional lasers with shorter recovery times. • This technology is used in both ablative and non-ablative lasers to achieve significant impact with fewer side effects and rapid recovery. 9:34 📝 Summary of Laser Technologies • Ablative lasers vaporize the top layer of skin, providing significant improvements in wrinkles and skin laxity but with higher risks and longer recovery. • Non-ablative technologies are gentler, promoting collagen growth and skin rejuvenation with lower risks and shorter recovery, but require several treatments. • Fractional lasers, in both ablative and non-ablative forms, work on a fraction of the skin, limiting adverse events and recovery time while maintaining positive effects. ** Generated using ✨ VidSkipper AI Chrome Plugin

I just had my first fraxel laser. This video is so timely ❤ It was a very easy treatment, no pain. Recovery is a breeze

Red light therapy?
