The use of light as a medical treatment has grown considerably over the past few years. There are now many kinds of devices, which deliver various different types of light for an ever-increasing number of potential uses.

Ultra - Violet light, for example, has been used to treat psoriasis (a skin disease) for a number of years, and many people use light boxes during the winter to reduce the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Simply, exposure to certain kinds of light often makes people feel better!

Fractional skin resurfacing has revolutionized skin care and is used to treat a number of skin conditions including:

- wrinkles

- fines lines

- sun damaged skin

- skin discolorations

- melasma

- acne scars

- surgical or traumatic scars

- improve the skin texture

- smoother the skin surface

- increase the skin elasticity

The laser can be applied on most parts of the body including:

- the face

- around the nose and eye brows

- neck

- back of the hands

- chest

- back

Unlike other resurfacing chemical peels that require significant downtime, this latest treatment will leave your face looking smoother, younger and more attractive than ever.

The essence of fractional laser therapy is that only selected areas of the damaged skin are treated. The treated skin area rapidly recovers with newer skin and healthy tissue. When therapy is done in fractions, this allows the skin to rapidly recover with little downtime. Further the side effects with this type of therapy are less and complications are very rare. In most cases, the old damaged skin is replaced by the new skin within a few days.
