Are you a candidate for Laser Facial? The answer is “Yes” if your skin shows evidence of chronic exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet light.

Physicians call this condition “photodamage”, and the most obvious signs are coarsening of skin texture, irregular pigmentation, and enlarged blood vessels and pores.

Laser Facial treatment is the visible improvement of sun damaged skin through the use of Cynosure laser technology to remove enlarged blood vessels and irregular pigmentation.

Cynosure is a leading developer and manufacturer of lasers for facial skin treatment. The speed, power, and gentleness of our lasers have resulted in acceptance in the practices of physicians around the world.

How does the Laser Facial treatment reduce the sings of photodamage?

How does the Laser Facial treatment differ from CO2 lasers, chemical peels, and dermabrasion?

Unlike CO2 lasers, dermabrasion or chemical peels that remove the outer skin and require significant healing time, the Laser Facial treatment gently penetrates the skin without damaging it and destroys the blood vessels and brown pigment that are the cause of the problem.

A laser is an electronic-optical device that produces coherent radiation. The term "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.[1][2] A typical laser emits light in a narrow, low-divergence beam and with a well-defined wavelength (i.e., monochromatic, corresponding to a particular colour if the laser is operating in the visible spectrum). This is in contrast to a light source such as the incandescent light bulb, which emits into a large solid angle and over a wide spectrum of wavelength.
