What are Dermatological Lasers?
Dermatological lasers are specialized medical devices that use concentrated light energy to treat various skin conditions. These lasers work by emitting specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed by target areas in the skin, such as pigments, blood vessels, or water in tissues. The energy from the laser is then converted into heat, which can destroy or stimulate cells, depending on the treatment goal.

Hair Removal Laser
Gentlemax Pro
​The Gentlemax Pro provides dual wavelength treatment with 755 nm and 1064 nm allowing treatment across all 6 skin phototypes. It delivers laser energy to skin which is converted into heat that is absorbed by melanin in hair resulting in thermal damage at hair follicles. In general, hair reduction is apparent after 4-6 sessions with minimal downtime. Aside from hair reduction, this has also been used in treatment of hidradentis suppurativa and keratosis pilaris.
Fractional Co2 Laser Resurfacing
Fractional Co2
Fractional Co2 laser resurfacing is an ablative laser resurfacing using the principles of fractional photothermolysis to treat atrophic acne scars and skin rejuvenation. Laser microbeams creates tiny puncture wounds in skin leaving intervening skin to regenerate through collagen production allowing less downtime and side effects in contrast to full ablative lasers.
Pigment Laser
Q-switched Nd-Yag laser
The Q-switched Nd-Yag laser is a pigment laser that can be used for pigmented lesions, melasma and allows skin brightening. A few sessions may be required to remove the pigment or further progress is deemed unlikely. Its dual 1064/532 nm wavelength allows for various applications to suit different forms of pigmentation.
Benefits of Dermatological Lasers
Precise Targeting
Dermatological lasers can accurately target specific skin concerns.
Minimal Downtime
Most laser treatments require little recovery time, allowing patients to resume daily activities quickly compared to invasive procedures.
Versatility
Lasers can treat a wide range of skin issues making them a flexible option for different skin types and concerns.
