Laser Technology from Acne to Wrinkles
Laser technology has completely changed the way we treat skin problems and cosmetic concerns. A laser is a highly focused beam of light which is absorbed by various colors (brown, red, blue, purple) or water in the skin. Each laser has either a different "color-match" to the various pigments in the skin or is designed to heat tissue that contains water. Although this is a simplistic explanation, it is the basis of laser action and the reasons why lasers are so effective on such a wide variety of skin issues.
At Beverly Hills Laser Institute, Inc. we offer a complete range of lasers. To help you understand the lasers and aesthetic technologies and what they do, we've listed our systems and their primary use.
