Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, or IPL, is another popular treatment. Instead of laser light, it uses high intensity light in much the same way. A gel is applied to the skin and then a wand is used to emit pulses of light onto the skin area being treated. It's expensive - $10 per pulse is not unusual.

Tip -Think about the design carefully. Don't be rushed into a decision by the Studio. After all, you are going to have to live with it for a long time. Ask to see their gallery of before and after pictures of cover ups before you decide to go ahead. Check that these are of work carried out in their Studio and not just standard issue.
