LASER SURGERY
"Laser Surgery" encompasses many different lasers all designed to treat
different diseases, both medical and surgical, both cosmetic and
noncosmetic; Currently our office has eight lasers on site and has
access to additional lasers if necessary. Onsite lasers:
- KTP
- YAG
- PDL
- Diomed
- Fraxel
- IPL
- Sheer
- Luminis
The list of lasers is long and each laser has a different wave of
light and, thus, a different target in the skin. Therefore, each
laser is used for specific types of lesions. Some of the uses for
these lasers and devices are:
