What is Laser Treatment and how does it work?

Laser is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. Syneron CANDELA Laser feature a patented skin-cooling device for even greater patient comfort and safety – and better results.
