Your skin and skin ageing

The skin provides protection against environmental threats such as temperature changes, UV radiation, toxic compounds, tobacco smoke, etc. Skin ageing is both genetically programmed and induced by environmental factors such as UV radiation. 

Skin and sun

Sunlight is an essential source of energy and is vitally important to life. However, absorption of incident solar energy by components of the skin causes premature skin aging. Photoaged skin displays textural and pigmentary changes. 

Laser physics

The word LASER is an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." Laser light has three properties that make it unique: it is monochromatic, coherent and collimated.

Peels

Aesthetic and / or medical conditions of the skin can be treated with chemical peels. Chemical peels are traditionally discussed in terms of the depth of injury (superficial, medium, or deep).
