Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure, which corrects the effects of the sun, wind and time. Laser skin resurfacing reduces wrinkles without scalpels or stitches. The laser emits an intense beam of energy that heats and vaporizes tissue instantaneously.
As the laser’s beam is guided over the damaged or wrinkles skin, it gently removes the outer layers. Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes are smoothed. Deep creases and frown lines will be softened and acne scars are minimized. Once the outer layer of skin has been removed, the new skin beneath is softer, smoother and has a more youthful appearance.
What are the benefits of laser resurfacing? Lasers cause less scarring, bleeding and bruising. With lasers your doctor can immediately visualize the effect of the treatment.
Are you a candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing? We will review your medical history, age, skin type and pigmentation; consider your desired results, and determine if you are a candidate for laser skin resurfacing. Results will vary from patient to patient depending on age, skin type and condition.
What else can lasers treat? Lasers can be used to treat a variety of other skin conditions including the removal of age spots, freckles, moles, keloids, certain types of skin cancers, and skin growths and conditions as well as tattoos.
What about the recovery? Most of the healing occurs in the first one to two weeks. During this time the treated areas must be kept moist. The initial redness fades in a few weeks to a light pink, which can be camouflaged with cosmetics and usually disappears completely in about three months.
