Laser therapy is an increasingly popular and effective treatment approach in dermatology. The most popular treatments, such as CO2 laser, V-Beam and T-Pulse, are all used for hair removal and acne scarring. Other types of lasers are even used for removing tattoos or for reducing wrinkles.

• Diode Laser: The diode laser is an 800-nanometer wavelength that is ideal for darker skin types as well as darker hair colors. It can be used on all parts of the body including the face and neck, underarms, bikini area, arms, legs and back. Dark circle laser treatment is the best to reduce the dark patches near eyes. The diode laser can effectively treat unwanted hair in all areas except around the eyes and treats a large area in a short time frame. It is safe for all skin types and colors with minimal discomfort during treatment.
• Pulsed-dye laser (PDL): Pulsed-dye laser (PDL) is a type of laser used in laser medicine, specifically in dermatology. It works by selectively heating the upper dermis well below the skin's surface. The light effectively targets blood vessels and melanin, as well as collagen. Pulsed-dye lasers are indicated for the treatment of port-wine stains, hemangiomas, rosacea, chicken pox scars and warts. The pulsed dye laser is also used in cosmetic dermatology to rejuvenate skin.
• IPL (intense pulsed light): Intense pulsed light (or IPL), is not a true laser and uses different wavelengths that are spread out over a wide range. It's used in cosmetic procedures such as hair removal, wrinkle reduction and treatment of sun damage. It can also be used to treat vascular lesions, including port wine stains and cherry angiomas.

Laser skin rejuvenation is a procedure that improves the appearances of scars, fine wrinkles, and sun damage by removing a small amount of tissue. The treatment stimulates the patient's own collagen to make up for the removed portion. This process can be used on all skin types, but it works best on those with fair to pigmented skin. Which laser treatment you choose will depend on your dermatologist's training and your own personal preferences. And while many people are still skeptical of how effective the procedure can be, a consultation at a dermatologist's office might lead you to feel differently.
