General Information about Laser Treatments
A laser is a tool that emits a specific color and intensity of light. The wavelengths of medical lasers are a safe and harmless form of radiation, like sunlight. When focused, the intensity and color of the laser determines specifically what medical condition is treated. The laser pulse has been described as a rubber band snap with minimal discomfort. With the energies and specific treatment range of these lasers there is virtually no scarring. During treatment everyone in the room will wear protective eyewear. The length of the treatment session varies, depending on the type of treatment being done. There is usually some discomfort after treatments, and there can be redness, swelling, and tenderness at the treated areas. The skin may be pink and sensitive to the sun for two to four weeks after treatments. Multiple treatment sessions are usually necessary to get the best result. The treatments are safe, effective, affordable, and all lasers are FDA approved.
