Laser Surgery The use of laser technology in
medicine is one of the most exciting scientific
developments in the past few decades. Lasers have been
developed for a variety of medical procedures, and can
now be a great benefit in treating sun-damaged skin,
facial wrinkles and scars and for removing skin moles
and lesions.

A surgical laser such as the CO2 laser is a beam of
light that can remove unwanted tissue without the
bleeding associated with traditional surgical
procedures. Skin imperfections can be treated one layer
at a time to improve facial wrinkles, acne scars and
other skin imperfections in both men and women.
Laser skin resurfacing may be used as an alternative to
chemical peels and Dermabrasion. The benefits to using a
laser technique are a faster recovery time and less
discomfort. In most cases, only one treatment is
necessary, and the initial redness caused by treatment
fades in a few weeks and can be camouflaged by make-up.
The goal of laser skin resurfacing is to improve facial
appearance. If you are interested in learning more about
