    Glossary Selective Photothermolysis

    process targeting specific tissues with light to avoid surrounding damage

    Selective Photothermolysis is a process used in laser treatments where specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by targeted tissues, such as hair follicles or pigmented cells, without damaging surrounding areas. This technique allows for precise treatment of conditions like unwanted hair, tattoos, or skin lesions by heating and destroying the target tissue while sparing the surrounding skin.
