Laser skin treatment is becoming increasingly popular as it can be employed for many types of common skin problems Including unwanted facial hair, acne, sun damage, wrinkles and birthmarks.
The advantages of laser skin treatment far outweigh its disadvantages. It is good for people who want to get rid of unwanted hair on body and face, it does help to slow down their growth and also works well for removing thick and coarse hair, especially on the face.
The procedure of laser treatment has also been found to be effective for the cure of acne and wrinkles. Laser can be used anywhere on the body wherever the problem is. It is also safe to be used on the face. If you suffer from a sun-damaged skin, laser treatment will prove to be very helpful if all other treatments have failed you. If you have decided to go through laser skin treatment you should be prepared to expect slight skin redness and even slight burns if high energy is used or required for the treatment of your condition.
One of the disadvantages of laser treatment is that it is little expensive. Furthermore, many skin conditions would require multiple sessions for a complete cure. Although laser has been proven to be safe, some people still experience side effects like burns and skin rash. Topical medicines to reduce the effects of laser are prescribed to people undergoing this treatment.
The Benefits of Laser Therapy
• Non-Toxic
• Non-Invasive
• Easy to Apply
• No Side Effects or Pain
• Extremely Safe
• Cost Effective for Practitioner and Patient
• Highly Effective for Patient (>90% efficacy)
• Growing Acceptance of Laser Technology
• Superior Alternative to: Analgesics, NSAID’s, Other Medications, Other Modalities
• Reduces Need for Surgery
• Virtually No Contra-Indications
Therapeutic Laser Biological Effects
Rapid Cell Growth – Laser light accelerates cellular reproduction and growth.
Faster Wound Healing – Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen synthesis in damaged tissue.
Increased Metabolic Activity – Higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells, Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP).
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation – Laser light reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.
Anti-Inflammatory Action – Laser light reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to give enhanced joint mobility.
Increased Vascular Activity – Laser light induces temporary vasodilatation increasing blood flow to damaged areas.
Stimulated Nerve Function – Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection to bring the numb areas back to life.

Happy Laser Day!
Dear Friends,
Seventh of July holds a very special place in the history of mankind.
We know that the energy source of entire life on Earth is Sun and the medium is Sunlight. Amongst all things known to us, it is the Light which is eternal. In spite of its tremendous speed it keeps on travelling for years together in the space. In fact the huge distances between stellar objects would not have been possible to measure if ‘Light Years’ were not invented.
Light in its natural form is being used for the benefit of living from ages together. The sun light is composed of SEVEN different colours as it gets separated as it passes through a prism or is seen in a rainbow. The characters of different colours, their effects on the human and animal mind are well documented. Even in ancient times coloured light has been used for healing certain elements, mainly related to psyche.
LASER: The Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation is the purest form of light. This process of separation and purification of light was invented by scientists over first six decades of 20th century. The idea of quantum theory was conceived by Max Plank in 1901. It was used by Albert Einstein to elucidate the paradoxical wave/particle duality of light itself in 1905. The reality of quantum was first confirmed experimentally by Arthur Compton in 1923 and the first direct observation of stimulated emission took place in 1926. By the end of the first quarter of the century, quantum theory was established and inspired the birth of quantum electrodynamics.
It was July 7, 1960 when in the laboratory of Theodore Maiman, FIRST LASER WAS BORN in the form of a Ruby Laser. Lasers are considered as one of the most important inventions of the 20th century which will have tremendous effect on the future of mankind.
Now whether you believe in numerology or not, at least believe in following facts:
1. Light is composed of SEVEN colours.
2. A single colour in its purest form is Laser.
3. LASER was invented on 7.7.1960 (1+9+6= 16, 1+6= again 7)
4. 7.7.7
5. In numerology, 7 is considered as holy and divine figure.
