And when it came to wrinkle reduction, the options weren’t much better. At the time, only ablative lasers, which removed the…
Facials have been around for ages. In Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra is said to have treated her skin with mud from the Dead Sea twice a week. One of the “four beauties of Ancient China”, Yang Gui Fei, made her own face mask by crushing pearls, white jade, ginseng, and mixed lotus root starch into a thick paste. Some methods of the past were a little more dangerous, though. Women in the Elizabethan era put Ceruse, a poisonous blend of white…

Using a cosmetic laser machine for skincare is an increasingly popular trend, and for good reason. Cosmetic lasers have the ability to safely improve the appearance of skin in a fraction of the time it would take with serums and creams.
