The laser acts on the upper and middle layers during the session, removing various defects and enhancing the skin self-regeneration processes.

Today there are several different ways to remove acne and other skin imperfections. The most effective of these is laser resurfacing. During the procedure, the skin is exposed to light energy, which penetrates the superficial and deep layers of the skin. It gently destroys scar tissue and stimulates the processes of cell regeneration and the production of substances responsible for its firmness and elasticity.
As a result of laser resurfacing, scar tissue is reduced, and the skin relief becomes smoother. Also, pigmentation goes away, and fine wrinkles are straightened, due to which, simultaneously with the healing one, a rejuvenating effect is also manifested.
