Laser Skin Resurfacing

Back

     Laser Skin Resurfacing is one of the most effective techniques for elimination of skin wrinkles. While face lifts remove excess skin, they do not eliminate facial wrinkles or change skin texture. Laser resurfacing can significantly reduce wrinkles and tighten skin.

Process: The laser energy employed in this procedure actually vaporizes the superficial skin layers. This technique stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two vital skin proteins. Laser Skin Resurfacing results in soft tissue shrinkage that tightens the skin, giving the impression of a 'non-surgical facelift.'

Recovery: This procedure may result in prolonged redness or recovery versus other procedures, but the advantage is a permanent, significant improvement in appearance. In some cases, where removal of excess skin is unavoidable, laser skin resurfacing can be combined with a lifting procedure to achieve optimum results that remove sagging skin and smooth out facial wrinkles

Result: The procedure can produce dramatic results, literally erasing decades from a patient's appearance. The process improves skin firmness and tone, resulting in a fresh, radiant look. It is imperative that patients continue on a skin care regimen following resurfacing to protect and maintain their revitalized skin.
