Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser Skin Resurfacing
It used to be that laser-resurfacing treatments removed (or ablated) the upper-most surface of a large area of skin, but new, improved technology allows for much more control. We can adjust the level of treatment for results that range from subtle to striking.
How Will This Improve My Appearance?
-
Improves skin tone and texture.
-
Reduces enlarged pores.
-
Reduction of wrinkles.
-
Improvement of acne scars, surgical scars and stretch marks.
-
Elimination of thick, crusty patches of skin that are the result of sun damage.
Will It Hurt?
The procedure is comfortable, best tolerated with the use of numbing anesthetic cream depending on the extent and depth of treatment.
How Will I Look After The Treatment?
You will experience mild to moderate redness as though you have a sunburn. There is also a small amount of pinpoint bleeding and some swelling. Complete healing takes a few weeks but most patients feel comfortable enough going back to their daily activities and wearing make-up a few days after the treatment. As your skin heals you will notice a general tightening effect, but the collagen regeneration steadily develops over the next 4 to 6 months. We will give you detailed instructions on your care during the healing period.
