Hi everyone, today we're discussing a topic that's often confusing for many people - the difference between medical and cosmetic grade laser.

When it comes to laser treatments, many options are available. But not all lasers are created equal. In fact, there's a big difference between medical grade laser and cosmetic grade laser, and it's important to understand this difference before making a decision about which type of laser is right for you.

Medical grade lasers are designed for use in medical settings, such as dermatologists' offices or medical skin clinics. They are typically more powerful and have been approved by the FDA for medical use. This means that medical grade lasers have been tested and proven to be safe and effective for treating a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and sun damage. 

These conditions may be eligible for a Medicare rebate if treating an approved medical condition, so you may be able to get some money back as a Medicare rebate. (Common conditions approved by medicare are disfiguring scars on the face and neck due to Acne or any other condition, capillaries on the face, disfiguring birthmarks, ect.

On the other hand, cosmetic grade lasers are designed for use in non-medical settings, such as salons and spas. While they may be less powerful than medical grade lasers, they are still effective for some treatments, such as hair removal or skin resurfacing.

[The Benefits] The benefits of using medical grade laser over cosmetic grade laser are clear. Medical grade lasers offer more powerful and effective treatments and a wider range of treatment options. They are also typically overseen by trained medical professionals, which provides an extra layer of safety and reassurance.

So there you have it - the difference between medical grade laser and cosmetic grade laser. When it comes to laser treatments, it's important to understand the difference between these two types of lasers. While cosmetic grade lasers may be effective for some treatments, medical grade lasers offer a more powerful and effective option, as well as a wider range of treatment options. If you're considering a laser treatment, be sure to choose a medical grade laser for the best results.
