Laser Technology in Aesthetic Treatments

Explore the science behind laser technology in aesthetic medicine. From laser physics and wavelengths to specific applications in hair removal, skin resurfacing, and body contouring.

What is Laser Technology?

Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) technology uses focused, monochromatic light beams to target specific chromophores in the skin. The principle of selective photothermolysis allows lasers to precisely target unwanted tissue while sparing surrounding healthy tissue.

Different laser wavelengths are absorbed by different chromophores (melanin, hemoglobin, water), making laser technology versatile for various aesthetic applications including hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and vascular lesion treatment.

Key Applications

Hair Removal

Permanent hair reduction using melanin-targeting wavelengths for safe and effective treatment.
