You’re not alone. Myths swirl around laser surgery, leaving many people nervous about trying these innovative treatments. The truth is that lasers are a powerful tool for refreshing your skin and treating specific concerns safely. Let’s uncover what you need to know.

At Exclusive Dermatology in West Palm Beach, FL, patients benefit from the knowledge and expertise of Dr. Steven Rotter, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon. Dr. Rotter trained as Chief Resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital and completed a prestigious fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. He has performed over 45,000 reconstructions and brings unmatched skill to every cosmetic treatment he performs. 

Myths About Laser Surgery

Misunderstandings about laser surgery keep many patients away from life-changing treatments. Let’s set the record straight about what to expect:

  • “Laser treatments are painful.” Many patients describe laser sessions as feeling like a mild rubber band snap. Most treatments require only topical numbing creams.
  • “Lasers cause long downtime.” Modern laser techniques often involve minimal downtime. Redness may last a few days, but many return to work quickly.
  • “Lasers are unsafe.” Lasers in the hands of an expert like Dr. Rotter are precise, controlled, and safe for most skin types.
  • “Results don’t last.” While maintenance may be needed, laser results can last for years when combined with good skincare habits.

Understanding the truth helps patients make informed choices and feel confident exploring these services.
