There are many different types of lasers used for dermatological purposes. At the Center for Surgical Dermatology, here are the types of lasers we use to treat and address our patients’ skin concerns:
Laser Hair Removal – This works by passing a beam of light through the skin to the hair follicle, effectively destroying it, which leaves the skin smooth and nearly hair-free.
Fractional Laser – This innovative laser technology is effective in addressing pigmentation, laxity, and skin texture without the downtime of other less effective procedures.
Vascular Laser – Used primarily to treat unwanted broken blood vessels and scars, as well as discolorations of the skin.
Pigmented Lesions Laser – Effective at lightening or eliminating a wide variety of pigmented lesions, such as sun spots, skin discoloration, and tattoos.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Laser – Emits a range of different wavelengths in each pulse of light to improve the look of skin and address sun damage.
