How Lasers Work on Skin
- Lasers use specific wavelengths of light absorbed by targets like pigment or blood, creating desired skin effects.
- Different lasers target different issues safely by focusing on pigment, blood, or stimulating collagen via water absorption.
Only Trust Expert Laser Doctors
- Always choose laser treatments with experienced, board-certified dermatologists who practice laser skin surgery daily.
- Avoid drive-by or non-specialist laser treatments to prevent serious burns and scarring.
Laser Choices for Brown Spots
- For sun or brown spots, lasers like Q-switched ruby or YAG effectively remove pigment.
- The choice of laser depends on skin type; darker skin requires safer, specialized lasers.
