What Is It?

Laser skin treatments encompass a range of devices and technologies — CO2, erbium, Nd:YAG, diode, fractional — each targeting different skin concerns. Selecting the correct laser for the patient's concern, skin type, and tolerance for downtime is the key to effective, safe treatment.

How It Works

Each laser wavelength interacts differently with skin chromophores. CO2 and erbium ablate skin surface; Nd:YAG and diode target pigment and vascular structures; fractional lasers treat columns of tissue while sparing surrounding skin. Treatment parameters (fluence, pulse duration, spot size) are adjusted to the patient's skin type.

Realistic Results

Varies by device and concern. Ablative lasers produce dramatic improvement in skin texture and wrinkles. Pigment lasers fade sun spots and tattoos. The right device selection is critical.

Recovery

Ranges from no downtime (Nd:YAG toning) to 2 weeks (full ablative CO2).

Risks & Complications

  • !Burns, PIH, or hypopigmentation with incorrect device selection or settings for the patient's skin type
  • !Herpes reactivation with ablative treatments
  • !Eye injury without appropriate eyewear

Red Flags — Choose a Clinic Safely

  • No consultation to assess skin type and determine the safest device
  • No eye protection for the patient

  • Is this the safest and most effective choice for my skin tone?
  • What downtime should I expect?
  • Are there risks specific to my skin type with this laser?
