Cosmetic laser therapy is one of the fastest growing aesthetic treatments available. In 2006, over 36 million light-based aesthetic treatments were performed. By 2019, this will grow to an estimated 120 million treatments annually. The appeal of today’s laser treatments lay in the safety, minimal invasiveness, and minimal downtime associated with treatment. Lasers are safely used for a wide variety of cosmetic treatments. Today’s aesthetic practitioner has the ability to offer a wide array of state of the art laser technology capable of diminishing acne, removing skin pigmentation, eliminating unwanted veins, removing unwanted hair, and resurfacing the skin with minimal to no down time.
