Consumer Tips from Complexions Rx

What You Need to Know About Lasers

Laser technology is being used for an increasing number of cosmetic treatments, including hair reduction, removal of pigmented blemishes, vascular lesions and wrinkle reduction, to name just a few.

This fact is of growing concern because limited testing is required for many procedures. Did you know it’s much easier to get FDA approval for a laser or device than a medication or injectable substance? While a study is frequently mandatory for approval, it typically is smaller in size. As a result, there are a growing number of devices/lasers/light devices on the market today some of which appear to be making "miraculous" claims backed by very little scientific proof.

At Complexions Rx, we prefer peer-reviewed, controlled and blind studies of new lasers and devices. As you evaluate laser treatments, we recommend sticking with thoroughly tested equipment instead of the “latest and greatest” but perhaps unproven devices.

Complexions Rx can provide you with an in-depth evaluation of Laser devices. Below is an important checklist. Please call Complexions Rx directly (619) 683-2820.
