In this episode, Dr. Kristen breaks down the world of laser skincare—from aggressive resurfacing treatments to low-downtime options that still pack a punch. Whether you're dealing with texture, fine lines, pigmentation, or sagging skin, you'll learn which laser (if any) is the right investment for your concerns.

💥 What we cover:

• CO2 lasers vs. CoolPeel – pros, cons, and who they're for

• RF Microneedling (Morpheus) – tightening, sculpting, and fat-melting risks

• IPL, BBL, and Moxi – the truth about pigment correction lasers

• Why melasma needs a totally different approach

• Lasers Dr. Kristen doesn’t recommend and why

• How to combine lasers with biostimulators or surgery for next-level results

👉 Thinking about laser treatments? This episode will help you avoid wasting money and get the results you want.
