So sit back, relax, and discover why cosmetic laser treatment could be the game-changer you've been searching for!


What is cosmetic laser treatment?

Cosmetic laser treatment or the laymen's term, laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) is a non-invasive procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to improve the appearance of skin. Many skin lesions can be treated with cosmetic lasers, including acne scars, photoaging spots, vascular lesions, hair removal, and tattoo removal.


5 Types of Cosmetic Laser Treatment


There are several types of cosmetic laser treatments available in the market, each with unique benefits. The most common types of cosmetic laser treatment include:

1) Fractional (non-ablative) laser


Fractional laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses a laser beam to target specific areas of skin, eg, FOTONA StarWalker PQX in Dream Clinic. The high-energy beam emitted at high speed creates tiny holes in the skin, which will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin for skin rejuvenation. Fractional laser treatment can also help to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Fractional laser treatment also has a shorter healing time and lower adverse effects in terms of the technology applied.

2) Ablative laser


CO2 laser treatment is a more invasive procedure that uses carbon dioxide laser to remove the top layer of the skin, the epidermis. The procedure is typically used to treat photoaged skin, acne scars, skin lesions, like syringoma, and skin rejuvenation. CO2 laser treatment requires a longer healing time as compared to other laser systems.


3) Pigment Laser


Pigment Laser is a type of laser that is used to treat various types of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tones. The laser emits a high-energy light beam that is absorbed by abnormal and excess melanin pigment under the skin by breaking it into smaller particles and promoting the growth of new and healthy skin cells. This laser is generally safe and effective with minimal to no downtime.

4) Vascular Laser


Vascular laser treatment is a type of laser therapy that is used to treat spider veins, abnormal blood vessels, and other vascular lesions. The laser emits a high-energy beam that is absorbed by our red blood cells in the blood vessels, and the heat is transferred to our vessels causing them to collapse. Vascular laser is generally safe and effective and has minimal to no downtime.


5) Hair Removal Laser


Hair removal laser treatment is a laser therapy that is used to remove unwanted hair on our body. The laser beam emits a high-energy beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicle and the heat is transferred to the hair follicle to be damaged and prevent further hair growth. This procedure is effective and requires a few sessions to completely reduce the hair from growing.

Benefits of Cosmetic Laser Treatments



Improved Skin Tone and Pores


One of the most important benefits of cosmetic laser treatment is that it can improve the tone and texture of your skin. The uneven skin tone is usually caused by the excess formation of melanin pigments under our skin but it is not yet visible over the outer layer of our skin. The high-energy laser beam is used to break those melanin pigments and shrink our skin pores so that our skin looks smoother with a brighter skin tone.





Reduced Scarring


Cosmetic laser treatment can also reduce scarring. The concentrated beam of light targets the affected area, creating micro-injuries over the skin, breaking down the scar tissue, and promoting the growth of new healthy skin cells.





Skin Rejuvenation


Cosmetic laser treatment can also be used to target the underlying layers of skin with a high-energy light beam to stimulate our skin to increase the production of new collagen. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. The procedure promotes collagen, which is a protein that gives the skin its structure and elasticity, which is essential for smooth and healthy-looking skin.



How to take care of your skin after laser?


Aftercare for laser treatment is essential to ensure that your skin heals properly and that you see the best results possible. Here are a few tips to help you care for your skin after laser treatment:

  1. Always use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to keep the skin protected

  2. Keep your skin hydrated and moisturized by applying moisturizers and hydrating masks on a regular basis.

  3. Avoid direct sunlight exposure when going out by wearing a hat or cap.

  4. Using gentle skincare products can help to soothe your skin after laser treatment. Avoid using harsh products that can irritate your skin.



Cosmetic laser treatment is a game-changer for those who want to improve the appearance of their skin. It's safe, effective, and has little to no downtime. If you're interested in laser treatment, it's essential to do your research and find professional and qualified aesthetic doctors that are well-trained to bring out the best of your skin to reduce the potential side effects.
