Which laser is right for my skin?

There are so many lasers out there – I don’t know which one is right for me.

This is a common problem and really you have to be seen for an initial consultation to answer the question but broadly speaking if your problem is pigment (brown spots) or facial veins then IPL is likely to be a good option.

For skin texture improvement and acne scarring or melasma there is nothing better than Fraxel. For skin tightening there is no one laser system that is perfect and options include Elos Polaris and Thermage.

Hair removal can be performed with a number of IPL or laser systems including Coolglide, Alexandrite lasers and diode lasers. A good operator can make a big difference and sometimes a mix of hair removal systems can improve the results.

Stretch marks can be improved with Fraxel laser.
