What You Need To Know About Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing can help minimize the appearance of:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scarring
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Sun damage and age spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Actinic Keratosis
• Skin abnormalities

When you choose laser resurfacing to treat your skin condition, you will notice benefits to your skin like these:

• Younger, more vibrant-looking skin
• Smoother, unlined skin
• A more even skin tone
• Diminished fine lines and wrinkles
• Faded, less noticeable acne scarring
• Diminished appearance of sun damage

Laser resurfacing works using light and heat to penetrate into the deeper layers of your skin. Laser resurfacing treatment will:

• Promote collagen production, which is an essential component of young skin
• Remove dead skin cells, rejuvenating your skin
• Tap into your body’s natural healing properties to create new, more youthful skin.

Our doctor or aesthetician will use either a pulsed-dye laser or intense pulsed light therapy. Each of these lasers has a low risk of side effects and requires minimal to no downtime.

Each laser resurfacing treatment will take between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the size of the area treated and your individual characteristics. You may need from 1 to 5 treatments for best results. Each subsequent laser resurfacing treatment will add benefits because the results are cumulative.

Remember to protect your skin before and after your sessions by applying sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, along with moisturizer every day.
