What is Laser Treatment?
Laser treatment is considered a medical procedure that uses focused light energy to treat various conditions and improve skin appearance. "Laser" stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. During laser treatments, this highly concentrated light energy is precisely targeted to the skin areas to achieve desired results.
How Does Laser Treatment Work?
Laser treatments emit a specific wavelength of light absorbed by the target area. The light is converted into heat, destroying unwanted cells and stimulating the body's natural healing processes. The effectiveness and specific mechanism of action depend on the type of laser and the treatment being performed.
