How Does Laser Skin Treatment Work?

The concept behind this advanced technology is a process of selective photothermolysis which refers to the laser’s ability to regulate light frequency to produce heat while destroying the tissue selectively.

The wavelength of light is chosen according to the color shade of the target.

The Laser skin resurfacing technology involves the concept of focusing light beams on the outermost layers of the skin. It is a super precise method of finely removing the damaged skin while preserving and stimulating the generation of healthy skin layers lying underneath. It leads to the revitalization of collagen, resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
