Laser is designed to treat imperfections of the skin. Whether you are experiencing scars, wrinkles, loose skin, imperfections in texture, color or tone, Lasers use amplified light to treat many of the problems we experience with skin as we age. The heat that is generated from a laser can smooth wrinkles and tighten the skin. CO2 is the strongest of all lasers and is limited to use on the face. Lasers directed at the skin soften the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles to completely eliminate fine lines, and drastically improve the appearance of scars. CO2 is the best laser for facial skin and CO2 repair is the best laser for use on the body.

- Sealing a wound maintains hydration and creates a barrier to infection.
- Dilating vessels increase the ability of the body to deliver nutrients to the injured skin and increases hydration of the skin promoting healing
- Hydrophilic Agents that pull water and nutrients out of the vessels fosters healing
- Anti-inflammatory agents counteract the negative factors that may work against healing by possibly decreasing fibrin (scar) and increasing cellular In-growth (skin).
- Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agents help prevent colonization and infection by micro-organisms

- 7 Best Skin Rejuvenation Options for Middle-Aged Women
