AI skin analysis is a digital diagnostic technology that combines machine learning algorithms (CNN — convolutional neural networks) with high-resolution digital imaging (multiple polarisation, multispectral, UV/cross-polarised light) to provide objective, quantitative measurement of skin parameters — pore number/size, oil production, spots (melanin/haemoglobin), wrinkle depth, UV damage, redness, Fitzpatrick phototype and biological age.
The alexandrite laser is a 755 nm solid-state laser that strongly targets melanin; its long-pulsed form is used for long-term hair reduction in light to medium skin, and its Q-switched or picosecond forms for some pigmented lesions.
Axillary hyperhidrosis, primary focal hyperhidrosis coded with ICD-10 R61.0, which causes excessive sweat secretion throughout the day, regardless of stress, due to the hyperactive operation of the eccrine sweat glands in the armpit area due to sympathetic cholinergic innervation; HDSS ≥ 3 is a medical condition that significantly reduces the quality of life of patients and provides 75-90% sweat reduction with Botox gold standard treatment.

A carbon peel (Hollywood peel) is a laser surface procedure in which a thin carbon suspension on the skin is shattered and removed with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm); it is used for the look of pores, oiliness and mild to moderate acne, with evidence limited to small studies.
