A 1064nm laser (Nd Yag) is used to rejuvenate and regenerate the skin at the micro-vascular level. It is a non-ablative procedure for treating enlargened pores, scarring (improving texture and tone), fine lines, and diffused redness. Laser Skin Treatments like Laser genesis are considered the most important discovery in skin rejuvenation since photorejuvenation. Unlike photorejuvenation, laser skin treatments or laser genesis builds heat in the dermal papillary layer of the skin. This heat then stimulates the collagen and elastin to re-model and re-build, evening out the skin tone and smoothing out the skin. It is important to mention that not all Nd Yag laser systems are equal. One of the only true Nd Yag systems for skin rejuvenation available are laser skin treatments like the Laser Genesis system, which is specifically designed and approved for laser skin rejuvenation.

Laser hair removal technology was first discovered by accident with a scientist who exposed portion of his arm to 692nm diode YAG lasers. The hair at that part of the arm was burned off and the area stayed bald until even months after. The technology of laser hair removal to substantially reduce or totally eliminate hair growth was then put through clinical tests and experiments. The development proceeded to increase efficiency and reduce side effects of the laser skin treatments and was eventually FDA approved. Modern Laser Skin treatments have been highly improved and are beneficial in many ways, there is no medication involved, no surgery within the treatment, no known side effects, and you do not have to be sedated when preparing for treatment, as there is no pain involved. Laser hair removal can safely remove unwanted hair without damaging the skin and pores and is much more effectively then the traditional methods of tweezing, waxing or shaving. Laser hair removal not only lasts much longer and is painless but it can be done in a shorter period of time.
Laser Skin treatments are used within many different fields within medical cosmetic other then hair removal. These laser skin treatments include many facial treatments like acne treatment, scar and vein removal, anti aging and sun spot removal plus a whole lot more. Laser skin treatments for scar removal send tiny pulses of light within the laser to the surface of the skin, as more treatments are served, the skin will regenerate and scars and will become softened and lighter. This type of Laser Skin treatment works by stimulating and repairing the collagen under the skin, and the epidermis is not damaged during this treatment therefore simulating a natural rejuvenation. This kind of laser skin rejuvenation treatment helps reduce scars, damaged skin, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and redness. The areas with wrinkles or bad skin are removed layer by layer and also have the affect of removing fine lines around the eyes and mouth.
Laser facial treatment technique with stunning results and absence of bleeding, bruising and other discomfort from typical facial treatments and surgeries is becoming increasingly popular and wide spread in the cosmetic medical field. More aggressive skin resurfacing would have a longer recovery time and different skin conditions require different treatments and procedures, therefore please consult with a skin care professional before commencing any treatments.

Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, who graduated from Harvard Medical School, developed a system of classifying skin types which he called the Fitzpatrick skin type scale which can be very useful when dealing with laser skin treatments including laser hair removal. This scale is based on the individuals’ skin complexion and how their skin reacts to sun exposure. For successful laser skin treatments, it is important to know where you fall in this skin typing classification system.
According to Fitzpatrick, there are 6 basic skin types:
Skin Type I: Pale white skin, blue/hazel eyes, blond/red hair. This person always burns when out in the sun and never tans.
Skin Type II: Fair skin, blue eyes. Burns easily and tans poorly. This person does not hold a tan for very long.
Skin Type III: Average Caucasian with white unexposed skin. Burns moderately but gains an average tan.
Skin Type IV: Light brown skin. Burns minimally and tans easily. (Asians, Hispanics, and Mediterranean’s)
Skin Type V: Brown skin. Rarely burns. Tans very easily and holds the tan for a long time. (East Indians, Hispanics, etc..)
Skin Type VI: Dark brown or black skin. Never burns and tans profusely.
Generally, skin types I - IV require fewer laser skin treatments of laser hair removal than skin types V - VI for permanent results.
