 | In medicine, physicians can use lasers to make incisions, vaporize tumors, close blood vessels, selectively reduce pigmentation, or even treat skin wrinkles. The laser makes it possible to change tissue without making an incision. So a surgeon can treat birthmarks or damaged blood vessels, remove port-wine stains, and shrink facial "spider veins" without major surgery. Is it any wonder that many facial plastic surgeons use laser on a routine basis? They use the laser as a "light scalpel". The tissue is left sterile, and bleeding is greatly reduced. When the laser is used to treat port-wine stains, no cuts are made. The laser energy penetrates through the skin to shrink the abnormal blood vessels that are the cause of these marks. Lasers can be used to reduce the wrinkles around the lips or eyes, even the entire face, softening fine wrinkles and removing certain blemishes on the face.
