How does it work? When exposed to a focused laser beam, micro-damage occurs to the skin tissue with a "pillar" or "cone" perpendicular to the skin surface. The cells surrounding the microdamage go into a state of heat shock, beginning active division to restore the skin area instead of microdamages. As a result, this leads to tightening of the damaged area, giving the skin smoothing, virtually erasing wrinkles and a noticeable lifting effect.
