The Laser Lowdown: What Works, What’s Worthless & What Can Go Wrong

Welcome back to Plastic Surgery Uncensored. We’ve arrived at Part 3 of our deep-dive into non surgical treatment series and this one’s a game changer. In this episode, Host Dr Rady Rahban sits back down with his incredible aesthetic nurse Charlene to talk about lasers—not the fantasy, not the fluff, but the facts. Think lasers are one-size-fits-all? Think again. From pigment correction to skin resurfacing and hybrid treatments, we’re breaking down exactly what works, what doesn’t, and how to avoid the all-too-common pitfalls patients face when chasing results at under-supervised med spas. We’re unpacking:

• The difference between BBL, TRL, and Halo—and why they’re not interchangeable
• What can go wrong—burns, pigment issues, cold sores—and how to avoid them
• Why proper skincare before and after treatment is non-negotiable
• And how stacking treatments (with downtime or not) can maximize your results

Whether you’re considering a quick glow-up or pairing a laser with surgery, this episode will arm you with the knowledge you need to ask the right questions, avoid lazy providers, and actually get your money’s worth.

🎯 Bottom line: There’s no such thing as a miracle machine. Lasers are only as good as the provider behind them—and the plan in place. So if you’re curious, skeptical, or just laser-curious, this one’s for you.
