What could modern cosmetology do for a baobab tree?
(Theoretically, of course — using the coolest procedures of 2025–2026)The baobab is the iconic "upside-down tree," with a lifespan of 1000–5000 years, a massive couch-like trunk (up to 30 m in circumference), thick wrinkled bark, and the eternal struggle with dehydration + that "elderly" appearance.

Hair Removal on the Top of Everest: Mission Possible in 2026? Yes, it sounds like a superhero challenge, but with 2026 technology, performing laser or IPL hair removal on Mount Everest (8848 m)

Imagine we have an industrial-scale laser complex the size of a house, a giant RF station, and an unlimited budget. Here's what could be done to make the baobab look like a "young cactus after a spa day."

  1. Deep fractional bark resurfacing
    Powerful CO2 laser (10,600 nm) + Er:YAG (2940 nm) on a gigantic scale.
    Removes all cracks, dry layers, moss, lichens, fungus, and centuries-old "wrinkles."
    Result: bark becomes smooth and even, like that of a 50-year-old tree — no more "old-man" grooves.
  2. Photo-rejuvenation and tone lightening
    IPL (560–1200 nm) + industrial-scale picosecond 1064 nm.
    Lightens the grayed-out, sun-darkened brown shade and evens out unevenness.
    The baobab gains a warm, uniform chocolate-beige tone — pure African luxury aesthetic.
  3. RF-lifting and trunk firming
    Monopolar RF + HIFU at 4–7 MHz with penetration up to 13–20 mm (adapted).
    Stimulates "collagen" synthesis in the wood (lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose).
    The trunk becomes slightly more elastic, sagging less under the weight of the crown and stored water.
  4. Intensive hydration and moisturizing
    "Root mesotherapy" + injections of hyaluronic acid, peptides, and vitamins directly into the surrounding soil.
    Plus laser-assisted carboxytherapy (CO2 injections).
    Result: the baobab looks "hydrated" — trunk appears plump, fresh, and free of dryness.
  5. Laser leaf peeling
    532 nm green + 755 nm alexandrite.
    Removes yellowness, spots, fungus, and insects. Leaves become bright green and glossy year-round.
  6. Removal of "warts" and growths
    808 nm diode + CO2 ablation.
    All galls, growths, bumps from insects and old wounds — gone, smooth, scar-free.
  7. Internal wood bleaching
    If a branch is cut — picosecond laser lightens the cut surface.
    Get "blond" wood for elite designer furniture.
  8. Laser hair removal of moss and lichens
    1064 nm Nd:YAG — complete removal of all "hairy" guests.
    The baobab stays perfectly clean and "shaved."
  9. Crown contouring
    RF-microneedles + laser branch lifting.
    Tightens drooping branches, making the crown more compact and "trendy."
  10. Full VIP package "Baobab 2.0"
    Deep bark resurfacing + photo-rejuvenation
    • RF trunk lifting
    • Intensive root hydration

The result: A 2000-year-old baobab looks like a 200-year-old — young, smooth, plump, radiant, bursting with life juices.
Now it's not just a tree — it's an African Instagram billionaire tree.
