Due to technological advancements, there are many kinds of treatments available in the market today. One of these is called alexandrite laser, and this is a very powerful equipment used in salons and clinics by licensed practitioners. Since there are no home devices of this sort that has been approved by the FDA, one must go to a clinic to have the procedure done.

This type of treatment uses light amplification through the process of stimulated radiation that is being discharged. Using an alexandrite crystal, a beam of light is shone through it to produce a red seven hundred fifty five nanometer long laser. However, the length of the laser emitted will usually indicate how far it will pierce through the surface.
