Abstract

The article discusses laser technologies in cosmetology along with their merits and demerits. Two important aspects of this study were the relevance and efficiency of laser procedures in aesthetic correction and the identification of their pros and cons. The paper presents ablative and non-ablative lasers, ultrasound technology, and radio frequency procedures, among other hardware cosmetology methods. Accuracy, non-invasiveness, and a short recovery period are the main advantages of laser technology that were determined by the study. Despite these advantages, procedures for laser correction may also develop side effects such as burns and hyperpigmentation, mainly with ablative lasers. More risks would require emphasizing patients’ characteristics as well as specialist qualifications. The work has kept itself new by doing a thorough analysis of laser technologies and comparing them with other methods, as well as showing their main advantages and limitations in the frame of modern cosmetology. This article will help experts in cosmetology, dermatology, and aesthetic medicine, also people who like modern ways of non-invasive appearance changes.
