Josh ClarkCo-host of Stuff You Should Know
Clark explains that pulsed dye lasers work because the birthmark absorbs a targeted wavelength that surrounding skin does not, converting light to heat.
“that light energy, is translated into heat energy in the birthmark, and there go the cells or the blood vessels that make up the cells”
