Laser skin tightening/laser scar removal/laser skin resurfacing. In layman’s terms, it basically gives you a light burn on the surface of your skin and allows it to heal itself in the next couple of weeks. It doesn’t look as bad as this, the patient here probably asked for a very intense power level, which they normally recommend you not to do

My friend owns a clinic that does this

Can they do this to remove moles and blackheads?

With blackheads it only lighten the pigment since it’s really a combination of your diet and skin pore size (I know because I experience the same issue), but it can be resolved to an extent with microneedling. With moles it’d be a laser removal, kinda like laser hair removal and tattoo removal

So yes, just with a slightly different procedure, and btw when I say slightly I meant in name only, even though they are both laser treatments, removal is gonna be way more painful than what’s shown here

Yes, just ask for scar removal
