Laser Facial Peeling
The laser is used to exfoliate the face, and to renew skin surface cells. A device is used to send vibrations from highly concentrated laser beams, which produce powerful energy packets that direct directly to the damaged skin tissue so that the surrounding tissue is not affected. The laser removes the layers one by one in a precise manner, in addition to stimulating the production of collagen in these cells to grow layers of new skin that is softer.
