Progress of skin resurfacing lasers

Over the past 30 years, there have been major advances in laser technology. For example the newest technology, now the most popular and effective types of lasers that were used for treating skin conditions like acne or wrinkles can now be found on medical lasers called carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing machines. For example, Co2 lasers deliver short pulses with ultrafast frequencies to combat tumors from different angles without harming surrounding tissues.
Likewise the new generation of skin resurfacing lasers uses continuous light beams delivered through scanning patterns. As a result, they are better suited towards removing specifically hard spots, such as those located near bones where pencil beam wouldn’t reach.
