Laser Resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the outer layers and stimulating the underlying skin to produce new, smoother skin. This treatment is particularly effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and age spots, as well as improving skin texture and tone.
Laser Resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the outer layers and stimulating the underlying skin to produce new, smoother skin. This treatment is particularly effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and age spots, as well as improving skin texture and tone.
The procedure works by using concentrated beams of laser energy to target damaged skin cells, promoting collagen production and encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, more even-toned, and more youthful in appearance.
Laser resurfacing can be performed using different types of lasers, including ablative lasers, which remove thin layers of skin for more dramatic results, and non-ablative lasers, which work beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen without removing outer layers.
These lasers remove the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and a portion of the underlying dermis, stimulating collagen production.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers and erbium (Er:YAG) lasers are common types.
Ablative lasers are more aggressive, providing more dramatic results but requiring longer recovery times.
They are effective for deeper wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars.
These lasers work by targeting deeper layers of the skin without removing the outer layer.
Fractional lasers are a type of non-ablative laser that creates tiny columns of injury in the skin, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This stimulates collagen production and helps improve skin texture and tone with minimal downtime.
Suitable for milder skin issues, fine lines, and superficial acne scars.
Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
Minimizes acne scars, surgical scars, and other skin imperfections.
Stimulates collagen growth, which helps improve skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Non-ablative lasers can achieve these benefits with little to no downtime.
Effects can be long-lasting, depending on the depth of treatment and aftercare.
Results typically become more noticeable as new collagen forms over time.
