| How Does the Laser Work? |
| A laser generates
an intense beam of light. This beam brings energy to
a specific site, through a small hand piece connected
to the laser console. The laser light is absorbed by melanin (black or brown
pigment found in the skin) causing decomposition or
destruction by heat of unwanted cells while leaving
healthy cells in tact. |
