Our experts at the Laser Institute of Georgia have been providing patients with industry-leading laser treatments for decades now. As the years have gone on and cosmetic laser technology has advanced, these treatments have only grown more and more in-demand. But “laser treatments” is a broad term that can describe many different treatments that can be used to treat even more dermatological and aesthetic issues. So with this in mind, our experts thought it would be helpful to answer some frequently asked questions about laser treatments that we have received from patients over the years.

Question #1: Who Will Perform My Cosmetic Laser Treatment?

This depends on the kind of practice you go to. Here at our Laser Institute of Georgia, all laser treatments are performed on-site by our board-certified dermatologists or physician assistants. This level of experience and expertise helps us ensure that every treatment is performed safely and in a way to promote the best and longest-lasting results. This includes treatments for dermatological conditions like skin cancer, rosacea, and acne scarring, as well as cosmetic treatments (including laser hair and laser tattoo removal).

Question #2: What Is The Best Laser Treatment for Wrinkles?

For patients concerned about wrinkles, fine lines, and other similar signs of aging, laser treatments can be incredibly helpful. We often recommend the Cartessa™ Tetra Cool CO2 Laser, the only treatment that utilizes signature CoolPeel® technology, for patients trying to achieve these kinds of anti-aging results. However, PicoSure®, LaseMD™, the MIRIA™ laser system by AVAVA™, and more can also provide terrific results.

Question #3: What Do I Need to Know to Properly Prepare for My Laser Treatment?

Part of our duties include making sure that our patients are prepared, comfortable, and confident going into their laser treatment. There are steps you need to take before and after a laser treatment that can help keep your skin safe and healthy, and also foster the best results over time. This includes avoiding sun exposure before and after each treatment session, keeping the treated area moisturized, and not smoking, as this can affect healing.

We offer over 20 safe, dependable, and effective laser treatments to make sure every patient we treat is able to find the most beneficial treatment plan for their needs. We are members of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS), a leading authority on laser technology and safety.
