What is Laser?
In medical aesthetics, laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It’s a technology that uses concentrated beams of light to target specific areas of the skin with precision.
Different types of lasers are used for different treatments like removing unwanted hair, reducing pigmentation, smoothing wrinkles, treating acne scars, or improving overall skin tone and texture. The laser energy heats and affects only the targeted area without harming the surrounding skin, making treatments both effective and safe.
At ZenV Derma, we use advanced, FDA-approved laser systems that are customized to your skin type and goals, ensuring great results with minimal downtime.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal uses pulses of laser light to destroy the hair follicle and prevent regrowth, making it easier to achieve smoother skin with less hassle. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are needed to target each follicle in its most receptive phase, ensuring long-lasting results.
