Probably no advance in medicine has had more of an impact than the development of laser surgery. Lasers used for skin ablation work by emitting a powerful beam of light which evaporates the outer layers of the skin. As new living cells replace layers of dead skin cells, the skin tightens and grows back smoother with fewer wrinkles.

Lasers range from in-office procedures to requiring general anesthesia for CO2, full face resurfacing. Lasers are effective for treating sun-damaged skin, skin laxity, mild acne scarring, age spots, skin discolorations, and many facial scars and wrinkles.

Other conditions that respond well to laser surgery include treating spider vein, hair removal, and tattoo removal. Recovery time varies again from same-day treatments to two to three weeks for complete recovery.
