How do laser treatments improve droopy breasts or help with breast enhancement?

Lasers help with treating droopy breasts, but it depends on what type of laser is used. Droopy breasts result naturally from aging due to a change in the size, shape and firmness of breasts. It can be accelerated or more pronounced with breastfeeding, post-pregnancy, or after losing some weight. This is because with a reduction in breast volume, breast skin and ligaments that were stretched do not contract back as much due to a loss in elasticity. Laser treatments are able to tighten skin over and around the breast, as well as strengthen breast tissue and ligaments.

What are the treatments available for combination of rosacea, acne scars (rolling and boxcar) and visible pores? How many treatments are usually required?

Rosacea is a recurring long-term skin condition where episodes of redness and flushing develop, together with dilated blood vessels and occasional pimples. Individuals with rosacea tend to have sensitive skin, and often experience a stinging sensation when exposed to triggers such as heat, sunlight, unsuitable skincare or certain food groups. Thankfully, rosacea can be controlled by avoiding known triggering factors, combined with the use of medical creams and vascular lasers, which shrink blood vessels and reduce redness.

What are the laser options (other than CO2) for facial flat mole removal? Is Er: YAG laser less likely to result in scarring?

Thank you for your question. After examining the mole and determining it not to be a cause of health concern, laser treatments to remove a facial flat mole include ablative and non-ablative options. CO2 and Er:Yag lasers are both lasers that can remove moles by ablation. Ablative lasers are commonly used to treat moles that are raised, indicating that they grow from deeper layers of the skin.
