How It Works:
The laser spot removal procedure varies depending on what is being treated and which laser or light system is being used. The Ultrapulse Encore CO2 laser is used to precisely remove protruding moles and skin tags. Pigment-specific lasers such as the [link: RevLite® are used to fade or remove flat moles, tattoos, and irregular brown coloration. Lasers for blood vessels treat red spots, including cherry spots. The Quantum SR/DL system utilizes IPL technology to treat a combination of red and brown discoloration simultaneously.
Treatment/FAQ

How It Feels:
Varies depending on what is being treated. Usually minimal discomfort as topical or local anesthetics may be used.
