Myths and truths about laser treatments revealed here! Myth 1: I'm only in my 20s or 30s so I don't need laser treatments. Fact: According to Dr Dana Elliott, doing a laser treatment is similar to giving your skin a work out, which keeps it in peak condition. It is better to prevent than cure. So, if you start your treatments now, your face will retain its youthfulness 10 years or more down the road.

The treatment works by the inhibition of an enzyme that causes the formation of melanin (tyrosine).
