The following table shows a few types of laser treatment:

Pigmented Blemishes	Sun-spots, freckles, pigmented moles, Hori's naevus, Naevus of Ota, tattoos, melasma	•  Accolade QS Alexandrite laser (Q-switched 755nm) •  Gemini KTP/Nd:YAG laser (long pulse 532/1064 nm) •  Apogee Alexandrite laser (long pulse 755nm) •  Fraxel laser (fractional resufacing laser)

LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser treatment for blemishes works on the principle of Selective Photothermolysis. By using lasers with different wavelengths, we can selectively target pigmented or red blemishes with minimal effects on the surrounding skin, thus reducing any undesirable side effects such as scarring.

The followings are examples of blemishes which can be removed with LASERS:
- Angiomas ("red moles")
- Freckles
- Hori's naevus
- Naevus of Ota
- Naevi (moles)
- Portwine stain and other vascular birthmarks
- Scars reduction/prevention
- Sebaceous hyperplasia
- Seborrhoeic keratosis
- Sun-spots / liver spots
- Syringoma
- Tattoos
- Telangiactasias (broken veins)
