If having cosmetic surgery is something that you have been considering, but are not particularly overwhelmed with the thought of incisions and blood, then you are certainly in luck. Due to the great advances in modern medicine, cosmetic laser surgery is becoming common practice in the medical world.
Lasers have become useful in an assortment of different surgical procedures since their invention in the late 1950s. Doctors began to use lasers in cosmetic surgery in order to treat acne scars and other blemishes. It was during these procedures that wrinkles surrounding the affected areas were also reduced.
It is common practice for doctors to undertake laser surgery for a variety of procedures. One of these particular procedures is a non surgical face lift. During this procedure, the doctor uses a laser the burn away the skins outer layer, which exposes the new skin cells that lie underneath. By using a laser, the doctor has several advantages that he does not have during regular surgery. A greater control of the depth in which is being treated is provided. It is also possible for the doctor to pinpoint collagen matrixes (groups) and use the laser to strengthen those groups and make them firmer.
The removal of unsightly body hair is another type of cosmetic surgery. When undertaking this procedure, the doctor will either apply a cold gel to the area that is affected by this problem, or use a laser device that contains a built-in cold applicator. The laser beam is then used to target the melanin that is contained in the hair. The hair follicle is then destroyed because of the extreme heat that is produced by the laser. It may be necessary to undergo several treatments to completely eradicate the growth of hair, as it may continue to grow in the ruined follicle.
There are of course many different types of cosmetic laser surgery as well as the above two mentioned procedures. However, both of the above procedures are more successful when they are used on people who have complexions of a lighter and fairer tone. These procedures may not always be successful of those individuals with darker complexions.
