Over the past two decades, the use of laser technology in the field of medical aesthetics has expended to cover more and more applications, and the laser machine has become an integral part of the physician’s clinic setup.
This article will focus on the use of lasers on the face.
“Laser” is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of light.
The machines are usually named based on the type of lasing medium they contain. Hence, we have the CO2, Nd:YAG, diode lasers etc.
Each laser emits energy in one particular wavelength that’s specific to the laser type. Because different targets in the skin will absorb different wavelengths, this property allows selectivity in the application of the various lasers. Obviously, some lasers function more effectively on certain conditions than others; equally obvious is that no one type of laser can treat all lesions and blemishes optimally on its own.
Here, we discuss the more common conditions of the face and the various lasers used to treat them:
Pigmentary lesions such as freckles, seborrhoeic keratosis, melasma are frequently treated with Q-switched lasers like Q-switched Nd-YAG and Q-switched alexandrite.
Vascular lesions like spider veins and port wine stains are amenable to laser treatment by the long-pulsed Nd-YAG and pulsed dye laser.
Facial hair removal is effectively done with alexandrite, diode and Nd-YAG lasers.
Post acne scars are visibly improved with laser resurfacing by CO2 or erbium:YAG lasers. Recent introduction of “fractional” CO2 and Erbium has provided patients with the option of resurfacing with much less downtime and side effects.
Skin tightening and lifting can be achieved using lasers at the infrared light range. Long-pulsed lasers at other wavelengths are also effective, especially when combined with radiofrequency devices.
It is clear from the above short discussion that a number of different lasers are required to provide for a more comprehensive solution to the myriad of skin lesions that we frequently encounter.
It’s not surprising then, that at NeuGlow, we find ourselves necessarily equipped with numerous lasers of all shapes and sizes, and needing every single one of them!

Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing is treatment option for individuals longing to treat acne scars and signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, saggy / lax skin and dark pigmentation. This laser resurfacing technology makes it possible to achieve healthy & more youthful looking skin with minimal post-treatment recovery time. A single Fractional Resurfacing treatment can improve skin texture and colour (e.g. sun / age spots) while softening lines and wrinkles.
The Fractional Laser Resurfacing system works by utilising tiny beams on light energy to the superficial and mid layers of the skin with little discomfort. The word, “Fractional” implies that only a fraction of the skin’s surface is exposed to the laser light. This helps to speeden natural healing, allowing for a shorter healing time. Once the fractional laser beams passes under the skin, the production of collagen is stimulated (for up to 6 months after treatment) and new collagen forms.
Possible Areas of Treatment:
- Face
- Neck
- Hands
- Chest

The Blue Peel System is NeuGlow’s newest skin rejuvenation treatment. It is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that helps reverse the appearance of the aging process. The Blue Peel is a 1 to 4 step application of blue solution mixed with TCA (Trichloracetic Acid). These applications will lead to the removal of thin surface layers of aged and damaged skin. Layers of dead skin cells exfoliate and are replaced by healthier ones allowing the skin’s own clarity and tightness to resurface.
What does the Blue Peel treat?
- Blemishes
- Acne scars
- Wrinkles
- Uneven pigmentation
- Sun damaged skin
What is unique about the Blue Peel?
Unlike alpha-hydroxy peels or other superficial procedures, the Blue peel allows your doctor to control the depth of the peel and the number of coats applied in order to tailor the process to your skin’s specific needs. The Blue Peel can even be performed on the neck, chest hands, back, arms and legs.
Great Results with the Blue Peel Treatment
