Q-switch ND-YAG lasers e.g. Helios III or Picosecond lasers are currently the common lasers used for pigment removal treatment. Using these lasers on correctly diagnosed skin pigmentation e.g. freckles, sun spots and melasma often produce excellent results with minimal or no downtime.

Laser toning with Helios III lightens the appearance of facial pigmentation and gives one a refreshing look. It improves skin texture, reduces the tiny blood vessels and redness of rosacea. Doing rejuvenating laser toning at a monthly or bi-monthly interval is able to help one to keep their skin looking dewy and bright!

IPL or long pulse YAG laser treatments help to reduce annoying and unwanted hair for both men and women. A series of such light or laser treatments could help to achieve “Permanent hair removal” that is not attainable with waxing, threading or shaving.

Using specific pigment laser e.g. Helios III or Picosecond laser, red, blue and black ink tattoos can be safely and effectively lightened or removed without scarring. Multiple sessions of laser treatments are generally required. However, green tattoos can only be removed using the Alexandrite laser.

Prior to the advent of lasers, tattoo removal is always associated with a lot of scarring. Hence, laser has brought tremendous advances in tattoo removal to help people to remove what they no longer want to keep.

Fractional CO2 ablative laser is the common approach to treat acne scars as well as for skin rejuvenation. They are also used for superficial skin cancer e.g. BCC and benign skin growths. CO2 laser could make shallow cuts and seal the bleeding vessels and is useful in some skin surgery e.g. circumcision.

Vascular laser damages the blood vessel wall and causes the walls to stick together. This will empty all the blood within the lumen, leading to their removal. Some of the skin conditions that respond well to vascular laser treatment are as follows e.g. superficial facial redness, Rosacea, Port Wine Stains, hemangiomas and hypertrophic scar. Again, vascular laser has brought tremendous advantages to help doctors to manage the wide array of vascular skin problems.
