Laser technology, which is used for numerous purposes in different medical specialities, plays a major role in aesthetic surgery too.
In cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic surgery, lasers are commonly used for many indications such as skin discoloration and freckle treatment, epilation, skin rejuvenation, tattoo removal, scar treatment, and treatment of vascular lesions.
The effect of laser on skin, is related to the controlled thermal damage areas it creates. It evaporates the superficial layer of the skin and creates high-temperature heat columns through the deep layer. These damaged areas activate the wound healing process in the skin, resulting in destruction of the existing skin, and of course replacement with a refreshed, new skin layer. Modern lasers give us the ability to control the skin damage in a very detailed fashion. These devices are adaptable to all skin types and they can be used in many different depths, letting us to do selective applications.
