Laser treatments can help solve skin concerns faster and more effectively than everyday beauty products. They aren’t just for hair and tattoo removals, mind you. They also improve skin laxity, and zap away scars, spider veins, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.
The lasers purposely damage the skin’s surface by creating precise and controlled injuries. That then triggers the body’s natural healing response, creating newer and better-looking skin. You’re basically giving your skin a hard reset. And yes, these procedures are totally safe, provided that you go to the right skin clinics with trained professionals operating the lasers.
If you want to experience the benefits of laser treatments but don’t know where to start, keep reading! Ahead, we’ve listed down all the best lasers for each skin concern and the different skin clinics where you can get them done. Keep in mind that although these are the best-known lasers for each skin concern, it's always best to consult your dermatologist first to give suggestions on how to best treat your skin.
LOOK: The 4 Best Laser Treatments for Every Skin Concern
1. For fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin: Thermage FLX
Collagen is responsible for keeping our skin tight and firm. Every day, the collagen in our skin slowly depletes creating fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin as we age. Thermage FLX works to increase the natural production of collagen in our skin. By delivering bulks of heat into the skin tissue, it works on a cellular level to stimulate collagen production. This procedure has been dubbed as the non-surgical facelift because of how effective it is at skin tightening. It can even help you achieve a snatched and sharp jawline.

2. For hyperpigmentation, discoloration, and tattoo removals: Picosure
Picosure is the go-to laser treatment for any skin concern that has to do with pigment. It precisely and effectively targets unwanted pigment, either caused by genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or even tattoos. It destroys any excess pigment in the skin and replaces it with new cells resulting in a more even complexion. To avoid unnecessary damage to the skin, several sessions of this procedure need to be done. You will see results and they will be permanent, but you have to be patient as results come gradually after every session.

3. For acne scars, stretch marks, and veins: Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing

But Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing does wonders to reduce acne scars, stretch marks, and spider veins. This specific laser is made with carbon dioxide, which helps get rid of the damaged outer layer of the skin while creating a newer, stronger, and fresher layer of skin.

4. For hair removal: Diode laser
ICYDK, although laser hair removal is often marketed as a “permanent” form of hair removal, it doesn’t actually leave you permanently hairless. Instead, it will keep unwanted hair from growing back for months or even years, so you are hairless for a longer period, but not forever. It will also make your hair lighter and finer, almost like it’s barely even there. Diode laser is the gold standard when it comes to laser hair removal. It effectively removes hair by burning the follicles without causing any pain or discomfort, unlike waxing.
