Skin Resurfacing

skin-resurfacing

Skin resurfacing is a treatment that uses lasers to improve the appearance of your skin. It can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and scars, and it can also help to improve the overall tone and texture of your skin. It is a fairly new treatment, but it is considered to be one of the most effective treatments available for improving the appearance of your skin.

One of the benefits of laser skin resurfacing is that it is a non-invasive treatment. This means that it does not involve any surgery, and it does not require any downtime. You will be able to resume your normal activities immediately following the treatment. Laser skin resurfacing is also a relatively quick treatment. The entire procedure typically only takes about 30 minutes to complete.

The Best Candidates For Skin Resurfacing

Fine-lines

Fine lines/wrinkles around the eyes

mildly-sagging-skin

Mildly sagging skin

sun-damaged

Sun-damaged or leathery skin

The best candidates for skin resurfacing are typically those with mild to moderate skin damage and good overall health. People with active acne or other skin conditions may not be good candidates for this procedure. It is important to consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine if skin resurfacing is right for you.

Procedure and Recovery

The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and requires only a local anesthetic. The laser beam creates thousands of tiny wounds on the surface of the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. The laser works by removing the outer layer of skin, which is then replaced with new, healthy skin. It can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands As the wounds heal, new collagen is produced, which helps to smooth out wrinkles and improve the overall texture of the skin.

The recovery process following laser skin resurfacing is typically short and easy, with most people returning to their normal activities within a few days. However, it is important to avoid sun exposure and protect your skin from irritation during the healing process.
