The Power of Lasers in Cosmetic Procedures
How Do These Lasers Work?
There are two main types of lasers used in cosmetic procedures; ablative and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers actually vaporize the skin on the top most layer of a person's body, whereas non-ablative lasers are gentler, and they work to rejuvenate deeper layers of skin than the surface. While some procedures use only one kind of laser, there are other varieties that use both at different points.
What Are They Used For?
Lasers are generally used for less-invasive treatments that are aimed at eliminating wrinkles and tightening up a patient's skin. By eliminating the top most layer of dead skin ablative lasers can reveal newer, younger skin while lessening wrinkles. When it affects the lower levels of skin the lasers act to tighten and firm the skin, which can also lead to fewer visible wrinkles.
Are Lasers Always Enough?
While lasers are effective, and they can often help someone achieve younger-looking skin, they aren't a miraculous cure all. Many times lasers can only reduce the appearance of wrinkles rather than completely eliminate their presence. Often several treatments will be necessary in order to get satisfactory results for those who want to reduce their wrinkles as much as possible.
In the event that laser treatments simply aren't enough to satisfy someone there are more invasive methods available, ranging from face lifts to wrinkle fillers. Other procedures, such as Botox, are also an option.
It's important for people to understand that while science has provided a new and safe method of looking and feeling younger there is only so much both ablative and non-ablative lasers can do. Sometimes the procedures deliver results that completely satisfy clients, and sometimes they're merely a first step on a path to a fuller, more complete kind of treatment – Dr. Sarah Mess, plastic surgeon in Maryland.

Four Most Popular Reasons Why Men Undergo Plastic Surgery
1. Hair transplants- It’s no secret that men can be very particular about their hair. In recent years, men have made up 83% of all hair transplant patients. During a hair transplant, the surgeon can insert hair plugs into the bare scalp area, or they can make incisions to reduce the amount of scalp that is showing. The procedure usually takes 4 to 8 hours, and recovery time is 2 to 5 days. Average cost: $4000-$15000 Famous Faces: Kevin Costner, Jude Law, and Dennis Miller.
2. Liposuction- Tummy tucks remain to be the most popular type of liposuction, but it can be used to remove excess fat from various places on the body. Liposuction is not meant to be a cure for obesity, but rather a solution for those with normal body weight to help them appear slimmer when diet and exercise just aren’t cutting it. The procedure time varies depending on where the fat is being removed from, and how much of it there is. Recovery time is anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Average cost: $3000-$9000 Famous Faces: Howard Stern, Steven Tyler, and Matthew Perry.
3. Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)- While this isn’t more popular among a particular sex, it is still worth noting. Rhinoplasty can be used to make the nose smaller or bigger, to make the nostrils more narrow, or to even alter the space between the nose and the upper lip. Many people get nose jobs for cosmetic reasons, but there are also many that get them to help correct breathing problems as well. The procedure can take 1 to 2 hours, and often an overnight stay in the hospital. Recovery time can take up to 2 weeks. Average cost: $4000-$8000 Famous Faces: Bruce Jenner, Zac Efron, and Ozzy Osbourne
4. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)- The eyes are the window to the soul, but the lines around them can also show age most easily. Though eyelid surgery is more common among women, more and more men are using it to look younger. Blepharoplasty is used to correct drooping eyelids, take away bags under the eyes, and reduce the appearance of crow’s feet on the corners of the eyes. The procedure lasts 1 ½ to 3 hours, and recovery time is about 7 to10 days. Average cost: $2500-$6000 Famous Faces: Gene Simmons, Harrison Ford, and George Clooney
