Tags group consultation topics. They do not imply approved indications for every product or a recommendation for everyone. Evidence and approval depend on the device, preparation and route.
#Laxity & firmness
Ageing and UV exposure alter dermal collagen and elastic fibres. Changes in fat and deeper support also affect facial contours, so skin laxity and volume loss require separate assessment.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗02#Fine & expression lines
Expression lines arise as muscle contraction repeatedly folds skin. Dehydration lines and wrinkles that persist at rest involve different contributions from the surface barrier and dermis.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗03#Hollows & volume
Hollows reflect anatomy, fat volume and position, and skin thickness. Shadows have multiple causes; adding volume without assessing swelling or laxity can produce an unnatural contour.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗04#Dryness & hydration
Corneocytes and lipids form a barrier limiting water evaporation. Over-cleansing, low humidity or dermatitis can impair it, causing tightness, flaking and sensitivity.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗05#Pores & texture
Pores are follicular openings. Oil, plugs and loss of surrounding firmness can make them more visible. They differ from depressed scars and cannot be permanently erased.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗06#Active acne
Acne is an inflammatory disorder involving sebum, follicular keratinisation, microbes including Cutibacterium acnes, and immune responses. It is not simply poor hygiene; deep inflammation can leave scars.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗07#Depressed acne scars
Insufficient collagen during repair can leave depressed scars; excess production can cause raised scars. These structural changes differ from flat red or brown marks after acne.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗08#Spots & pigmentation
Solar lentigines, freckles and post-inflammatory pigmentation differ in cause and pigment depth. Similar-looking marks can represent different lesions, so colour alone does not determine a device.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗09#Melasma
Melasma is chronic pigmentation with increased melanocyte activity, often forming symmetric facial patches. Light, hormones and genetic susceptibility contribute; ordinary spot-removal approaches are not automatically suitable.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗10#Redness & vessels
Redness can reflect rosacea, dermatitis or visible vessels. Rosacea involves vascular, neural and immune responses and barrier changes; heat and UV exposure can trigger symptoms.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗11#Unwanted hair
Hair cycles through growth, transition and rest. Lasers deliver heat mainly through hair melanin, so growth phase and hair colour influence response.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗12#Tattoo removal
Tattoo ink sits in the dermis, so ordinary surface shedding does not remove it. Colour-matched laser energy fragments pigment for gradual lightening.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗13#Moles & benign lesions
Moles and lesions such as seborrhoeic keratoses arise from different cells and depths. Pigmentation alone is not a reason to use a laser; malignancy must be considered.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗14#Local fat & cellulite
Body contours reflect subcutaneous fat, skin and muscle. Cellulite dimpling also involves fibrous septae pulling on skin, so it is not simply excess fat or obesity.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗15#Muscle tone & shape
Muscle prominence and weakness are different issues. Electromagnetic stimulation induces contractions, whereas botulinum toxin reduces muscle activity; their goals should not be confused.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗16#Pelvic-floor concerns
Pelvic-floor muscles and connective tissue support organs and the urethra. Childbirth and ageing can contribute to symptoms, but urgency, pain and dryness are not all caused by weak muscles.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗17#Excessive sweating
Primary hyperhidrosis is thought to involve overactive nerve signals to sweat glands. Generalised or night-time sweating can have other causes, including medication or medical conditions.
Read causes & mechanisms ↗18#Skin-quality consultation
Skin quality is a cosmetic umbrella term, not a single disease. Assess surface-barrier and dermal changes separately; a product name does not establish a regenerative effect.
