This type of treatment has increased in popularity recently. This is often advertised as a non surgical procedure that has minimal risks and can be carried out in as little as a few minutes to a couple of hours. Often credit is offered for this treatment with easily repayable instalment payments.
The lasers themselves can be used in a range of different treatments. They can be used in hair removal and also to correct skin imperfections, help reduce the signs of aging and also diminish the appearance of acne scars, general scarring, tattoos and stretch marks.

If the procedure goes wrong due to over exposure to the laser it can cause burns and resulting scarring, as well as changes in skin texture and pigmentation. If the laser is directed near the eyes and protective goggles are not provided then there is a risk of damage to the eye.
