Lasers- How they work


What is a laser, really?

A laser is a device that produces light of a single color or wavelength. In dermatology, these lasers produce pulses of high-energy light that is taken up by the desired target.

In the case of skin rejunation and resurfacing the target is water to dehydrate and exfoliate layers of skin and stimulate collagen production.

Laser hair removal is the use of laser energy to produce long-term hair reduction. This is accomplished by producing heat in the hair, which is transferred to the hair follicle, which in-turn produces inflammation, and this inflammation sends a signal to the hair follicle to go into the resting (telogen) phase instead of the growth phase.
