How does laser treatment work?
A laser delivers an intense burst of light on to the skin and this is of a single wavelength. Different cells in the skin absorb different wavelengths. So depending on what wavelength of light is emitted by the laser depends on what cell in the skin is targeted. The aim is to target only the problem cell and to leave the surrounding tissue unharmed. For instance blood cells absorb a certain wavelength and so a laser that emits this wavelength is able to treat vascular lesions.
