How They Work
The word LASER is an acronym that stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Lasers work by bouncing a beam of light back and forth between optical mirrors and lenses, amplifying the strength with each cycle. When the beam is powerful enough, it is released in a short pulse of energy. This burst of energy causes a carefully controlled burn. The light emitted by the laser is directed/attracted to a specific target, such as melanin (the pigment in your skin tone or a brown/black hair follicle); oxyhemoglobin (red blood cells, as in a facial vein or leg vein), or a specific ink color in tattoos. This attraction is called selective photothermolysis. Photo means light and thermolysis means destroying with heat. This specific laser targeting process allows us to treat just the chromophore, or item that you wish to be rid of and not the surrounding skin thus reducing unwanted side effects and damage to the skin that could result in scarring.

Different types of lasers are used to remove irregular contours, discolored areas, tattoos, blood vessels and unwanted hair. Some of these lasers can be calibrated to have a longer pulse of the laser light or a higher energy of light to accommodate the color of one's skin tone. More energy is required to treat light skinned individuals and less energy is required to treat dark skinned individuals. Our physicians use a formula which takes into account a patient's age, skin type, health history and area of treatment to determine the most beneficial settings of the laser.
