Types of cosmetic laser procedures

There are many types of laser treatments for cosmetic procedures, and although their characteristics and effects are similar, there are differences in treatment results. So which laser treatments are suitable for common skin conditions?

Laser is a single-wavelength source of high-energy light that is used in cosmetic procedures based on the theory of selective photothermal treatment, which allows the light to be precisely focused on specific tiny areas to produce heat to achieve the desired effect.

There are two types of lasers used for cosmetic purposes: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative lasers evaporate the top layer of damaged skin, while non-ablative lasers work deeper in the skin and do not damage the top layer of the skin. Therefore, there is no downtime after a treatment with non-ablative laser technology.

Different laser wavelengths address different skin problems. The laser treats the skin by emitting a beam wavelength that is synchronized with the target color. Examples include dark spots, red capillaries, and other skin conditions. It can also address skin problems such as skin wrinkle removal, skin rejuvenation, pigment removal, acne removal, etc.
