Skin Laser Treatments
Skin laser treatments are a type of cosmetic procedure that uses lasers to improve the appearance of the skin. Lasers emit beams of light that can be used to remove unwanted hair, treat acne scars, reduce wrinkles, and even out skin tone.
There are many different types of laser treatments available, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some of the most common laser treatments include:
- Ablative laser resurfacing: This type of laser treatment removes the outer layer of skin, revealing new, smoother skin underneath. Ablative laser resurfacing can be used to treat wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage.
- Non-ablative laser resurfacing: This type of laser treatment does not remove the outer layer of skin. Instead, it uses lasers to heat the skin, stimulating the production of collagen. Non-ablative laser resurfacing is a good option for people who want to improve their skin's appearance but do not want to undergo a more invasive procedure.
- IPL (intense pulsed light): IPL is a type of light-based treatment that can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, and rosacea. IPL works by targeting the pigment in the skin, which causes it to heat up and break down.
