Are Laser Treatments Good for Your Skin?

The short answer is absolutely! In fact, laser skin treatments are used for multiple medical purposes, such as removing unwanted hair, evening out skin coloring or pigmentation, and eliminating unsightly veins of the face and body.

Additionally, laser skin resurfacing can also help reduce wrinkles, age and acne spots, reduce signs of scarring, sagging skin, and many other aesthetic issues you may be having with your skin.

As you can see, lasers can do a lot for your skin, which is why it can get overwhelming if you are researching a solution to address a specific need. So, today we are here to guide you through the basics of laser skin treatments and help you make an informed decision.

What Exactly Is a Laser?

“Laser” is actually an acronym, which means that it is a word or name formed from the initial components of a longer name or phrase.

L.A.S.E.R. stands for:

  • Light
  • Amplification (by)
  • Stimulated
  • Emission (of)
  • Radiation

Now, what does all that mean, you may be wondering. In a nutshell, light travels in waves and each color has its own wavelength, which is the distance between each wave’s peak.

With that in mind, a laser is a light that produces similar wavelengths, creating a narrow beam of consistent, concentrated light.

Ablative lasers, on the other hand, are more effective, as they remove and treat issues on the outer layer of the skin causing a resurfacing

That said, below you will find a short list of types of ablative and non-ablative lasers you are likely to encounter while researching your upcoming laser skin rejuvenation treatment:
