Confused about lasers" When it comes to skin care, we are too. Let?s just say we can count on one hand what we know for sure about these treatments: one, they can do wonders for the skin by evening tone, fading hyperpigmentation, and reducing acne scars. Two, derms who serve the A-list, such as Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald in Los Angeles, tell us that their better-known clients count laser treatments as a must-do before big events.

Plus, aren?t they crazy expensive" It almost seems easier to let the celebs have their perfect skin?we?d rather avoid the headache. But then Dr. Fitzgerald told us about a laser treatment that can offer the usual glowing benefits without the week or so of downtime required for skin to heal. This laser can be used on all skin tones and, at $450 a pop, costs far less than other offerings such as Fraxel, which can run $1,500 or more.
