Since skin laser treatments are legally considered medical treatments, we decided to go straight to the professionals to gain some insight into the different types, what they do (how well they do them), and who they are for. What Are Laser Treatments? Laser treatments direct short, concentrated, pulsating light beams at skin irregularities to promote collagen growth and remove skin layers.

When the laser energy finds these targets, they super-heat them to create a very controlled 'injury' to the skin that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes." Meet the Expert Dr. Adam Kolker, MD, FACS, is a board-certified plastic surgeon working out of NYC as well as an Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He has been featured as a top Plastic Surgeon in New York Magazine’s Best Doctors list for nine years and has authored more than 20 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters in surgery and plastic surgery.
