Laser treatments for the skin are proven ways to help reduce unwanted wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other undesirable blemishes. These treatments also help tighten the skin and balance its tone. But precisely, since lasers can do so much and can significantly vary in how they act on our skin, it is challenging to know where to start when looking for the proper treatment—even the most cursory search reveals slews of competing techniques and devices.
Light energy used in laser treatments rejuvenates the skin. This soft energy targets damaged skin cells, preserving healthy ones simultaneously. Aside from protecting healthy skin cells, laser treatments also help stimulate collagen growth. These procedures result in improvements in the skin’s tone and texture and a significant reduction of wrinkles and fine lines. Practitioners use laser treatments for various reasons, depending on your specific needs. Experts take care of patients from head to toe.
Laser treatments can help improve the following:
The C02 CoolPeel laser treatment is the gold standard in treating wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes while tightening the skin and balancing skin tone. Damaged skin tissue is removed or ablated, stimulating new collagen production, and heat energy is delivered to tighten the skin. The CoolPeel Laser brings all of this with little to no downtime. This laser treatment is recommended in a series of 3 treatments for the best results.
A Cutera laser that spot treats skin pigmentation, Rosacea, veins, and acne scarring with a 2mm size. Great for treating small, specific areas.

This quick, painless, and non-invasive laser treatment reduces redness, targets fine lines and wrinkles, and improves scarring. Targeted light therapy stimulates the development of new collagen, filling out problem spots and reducing the appearance of various blemishes on the skin. With less than an hour’s treatment, this procedure will polish the complexion, tighten pores, and reduce fine lines. A series of six (6) laser treatments are usually recommended for optimal results.
It tightens and brightens the thin skin in the eye area to reduce fine lines, dark circles, and wrinkles. With the use of the C02 Laser, this treatment rejuvenates the skin and improves sagging. This laser treatment is beneficial for tightening drooping eyelids.
With advances in cosmetic medical technology, achieving results once thought impossible is possible. In the United States, laser treatments for hair removal have been among the most popular cosmetic procedures for removing unwanted body hair. It may be possible to eliminate the need to shave, wax, or constantly epilate after just a few treatments. Nowadays, laser hair removal has reached an all-time high in popularity. Every year, more people opt to remove unwanted body hair with lasers.
This laser treatment targets spider veins without damaging the skin. Small spider veins may disappear immediately after the treatment, and giant spider veins will darken and disappear after a few months.
The C02 Laser effectively treats many scars while improving skin texture and pigment.
Works to remove unwanted tattoos gradually. Tattoo particles will fade over time, and skin will return to its natural color. Multiple laser treatments may be required, depending on tattoo size and color.
Laser treatments are generally very safe procedures. When offered by a trained technician, laser treatment, from laser hair removal to skin resurfacing and pigmentation reduction, provides long-term solutions to skin concerns such as pigmentation issues, hair removal, and beyond. As with any treatment, however, there are side effects that may occur, and understanding what they are can help you spot any signs of an issue early.
A common misconception is that laser treatments are only safe for light skin types. While it is true that specific lasers pose higher risks for cell damage or discolorations for people with darker skin, there are safe and effective resurfacing options. Erbium laser treatments can sometimes be good options for lighter-toned skin types, posing lesser risks for discolorations. People with darker brown or black skin may need to consider other laser treatment options, such as radiofrequency or microneedling.
The best way to ensure safe, effective treatment for particular skin types is to consult providers with extensive background training, knowledge of laser treatments, and vast experience working with darker-skinned patients.
Side effects from laser treatments, whether laser hair removal or skin treatments are typically minor. They generally are uncommon when a qualified practitioner does your treatment, and if they do occur, they are usually easy to resolve.
While side effects of laser treatments are uncommon and often resolved, with or without the help of simple treatments, some rare side effects are considered ‘major’ in comparison. From burns and blisters to infections and effects on the eyelids, here are some rare side effects:
“When will I start seeing the results?”
You will begin to see results within the first week and will continue to see improvement for up to three (3) months after your treatment. Laser treatments stimulate long-lasting elastin and collagen regeneration.
“How much downtime should I expect from laser treatments?”
Depending on the intensity of the laser treatment, it generally takes 3-7 days for your skin to renew. As long as you take special care to protect your treated skin from the sun, you can return to your usual routine following your laser treatment.
Laser treatments can be suitable for any skin type, and there’s no doubt about that. But if you want to be sure, discuss everything with your trusted skin care expert first so you can enjoy the benefits you can get from laser treatments.
