HOW DO

THESE

LASERS

WORK?

Dr. Sarah Mess

TWO MAIN TYPES OF LASERS USED

IN COSMETIC PROCEDURES:

1. ABLATIVE LASERS

2. NON-ABLATIVE LASERS

Dr. Sarah Mess

ABLATIVE LASERS

ACTUALLY VAPORIZE THE

SKIN ON THE TOP MOST

LAYER OF A PERSON'S BODY

Dr. Sarah Mess

NON-ABLATIVE LASERS

ARE GENTLER, AND THEY

WORK TO REJUVENATE

DEEPER LAYERS OF SKIN

THAN THE SURFACE

Dr. Sarah Mess

WHAT

ARE THEY

USED FOR?

Dr. Sarah Mess

ABLATIVE LASERS

ELIMINATES THE TOP MOST

LAYER OF DEAD SKIN AND

REVEALS NEWER, YOUNGER

SKIN WHILE LESSENING

WRINKLES.

Dr. Sarah Mess

WHEN IT AFFECTS THE

LOWER LEVELS OF SKIN, THE

LASERS ACT TO TIGHTEN

AND FIRM THE SKIN. THIS

CAN ALSO LEAD TO FEWER

VISIBLE WRINKLES.

Dr. Sarah Mess

ARE

LASERS

ALWAYS

ENOUGH?

Dr. Sarah Mess

YES, LASERS ARE EFFECTIVE

AND CAN OFTEN HELP

SOMEONE ACHIEVE

YOUNGER-LOOKING SKIN.

BUT THEY AREN'T A

MIRACULOUS CURE AT ALL.

Dr. Sarah Mess

MANY TIMES LASERS CAN

ONLY REDUCE THE

APPEARANCE OF WRINKLES

RATHER THAN COMPLETELY

ELIMINATE THEIR PRESENCE.

Dr. Sarah Mess

OFTEN SEVERAL

TREATMENTS WILL BE

NECESSARY IN ORDER TO

GET SATISFACTORY RESULTS

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO

REDUCE THEIR WRINKLES

AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Dr. Sarah Mess

TREATMENTS LIKE

FACE LIFTS,

WRINKLE FILLERS

AND BOTOX.
