What are Lasers?

Lasers in cosmetic dermatology are advanced devices that use focused light energy to treat various skin concerns. They work by targeting specific areas of the skin to reduce wrinkles, scars, pigmentation, and other imperfections, while also stimulating collagen production for smoother, healthier skin.

How It Works

Cosmetic lasers use focused light energy to target specific skin cells. The laser either removes damaged cells or stimulates collagen production, depending on the treatment. Ablative lasers treat deeper wrinkles by removing the outer skin layer, while non-ablative lasers work beneath the surface to tighten and improve skin texture. This precise targeting leads to smoother, rejuvenated skin with minimal impact on surrounding areas.

More About Intense Pulsed Light

Photofacial treatments can be performed on face, neck, chest and hands, using pulses of visible light that effectively improve the appearance of brown spots and sun damage. Specific settings are selected for your skin type to maximize improvement with minimal risk and discomfort.

More About Fractional Laser for Collagen Stimulation

A fractional laser is a skin treatment that uses precise laser beams to create microscopic columns of treated skin while leaving surrounding areas untouched. This controlled micro-injury triggers the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells. As collagen increases, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking over time. Fractional lasers are effective for reducing wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and improving skin texture, with minimal downtime compared to traditional laser treatments.
