What is an Alexandrite Laser?
Laser technology has become increasingly popular in the medical field. Developments in technology and technique have yielded laser treatments for a wide variety of skin conditions, among other medical applications, such as vision correction. The alexandrite laser has been used by medical professionals since 1997, when the Food and Drug Administration approved its use for hair removal. It is now one of the most widely used types of laser technology in the medical field, and is versatile in application. Most consumers associate the alexandrite laser with its use in cosmetic dermatology, for the correction of undesirable skin irregularities.
