“LASER” stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Modern lasers selectively target unwanted or abnormal cells in the skin, whilst minimizing damage to surrounding normal skin structures.

They are very safe and effective when used by professionally trained staff.

However, multiple treatments are often required to achieve the best results.
