How does LaserMe work?
LaserMe is a non-ablative fractional laser, equipped with a diode laser. The device delivers optimal wavelength through the scanning handpiece that creates microscopic columns of wounded tissue. Local tissue moisture vaporises rapidly and cells undergo lysis, necrosis and solidification, resulting in rejuvenation and tightening of the skin, and the stimulation of new collagen production.
How many LaserMe treatments are recommended?
The number of recommended treatments varies between clients due to individual anatomy, severity of skin concerns etc. However, on average, a minimum of three treatments is recommended.
