Laser Therapy

What Is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy is a physical treatment method that utilizes light of a specific wavelength (laser beams) to targetedly and selectively treat or break down specific structures within the skin.

Specialized Laser Systems

Different laser systems are designed for specific clinical indications. For example, a laser whose energy is absorbed by red blood pigment (hemoglobin) can reduce fine facial blood vessels. A laser system targeting brown pigment (melanin) is ideal for treating age spots and hyperpigmentation.

Ablative lasers, whose energy is absorbed by water, allow for the precise removal of certain skin lesions, as human skin cells consist predominantly of water.

Treatment Areas & Indications

• Sun-damaged skin (actinic keratoses)

• Facial spider veins / broken capillaries (telangiectasias)

• Cherry angiomas / blood spots (angiomas)

• Sun and age spots (lentigines)

• Seborrheic keratoses (age warts)

• Raised moles (dermal nevi)

• Benign lipid and gland growths (xanthelasma, sebaceous hyperplasia)
