§ 04 · Frequently Asked
Depends on the concern. Pigment (sun spots, melasma) responds to picosecond and Q-switched lasers. Redness and broken vessels respond to IPL, KTP, and pulsed-dye lasers. Texture and wrinkles respond to fractional CO2 or erbium. Hair removal uses Alexandrite (lighter skin), Diode (medium), or NdYAG (darker). A dermatologist consultation identifies the right device.
