Details.
Laser treatment uses targeted light energy to reduce the appearance of skin lesions, scars, burns, lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, prominent veins, tattoos and unwanted hair. A full assessment is required to determine whether laser therapy is appropriate and which treatment is best suited to your goals. Procedures are performed during an outpatient clinic appointment by a skilled professional. The treatment area is cleaned, eye protection is provided, and cooling packs may be used before, during and after treatment. Aftercare includes watching for warning signs, avoiding direct sun exposure and avoiding harsh or skin-irritating products. Most people need between 3 and 6 rounds of treatment, depending on the condition treated, treatment goals and individual response.
