What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing, or laser skin resurfacing, has made enormous advancements in recent years. It allows nearly everyone to achieve a near-flawless complexion by replacing damaged skin with fresh, new skin. The procedure is fractional laser resurfacing, lasabrasion, laser vaporization, or laser peel to reduce facial wrinkles and skin irregularities, including blemishes and acne scars. Short, concentrated beams of pulsating lights are directed at irregular areas of skin, removing damaged tissue layer by layer.
Who is a candidate for laser skin resurfacing?
Patients with fine lines or wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes or mouth, as well as those with shallow scars from acne or non-responsive skin following a facelift, are suitable candidates for this treatment.
Patients with active acne or very dark skin cases may not be good candidates for laser resurfacing. Consult with your physician before making an appointment for the procedure.
What is excimer laser resurfacing?
Excimer Laser Therapy
Excimer laser therapy is a specialized dermatological treatment that uses targeted ultraviolet light to address specific skin concerns. For cosmetic laser skin resurfacing, this technology is particularly effective in refining the skin’s texture, improving pigmentation issues, and rejuvenating the overall appearance of the skin. By delivering concentrated energy to precise areas, excimer laser therapy promotes localized healing and stimulates skin regeneration without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. This makes it a versatile option for enhancing skin tone and texture while minimizing the risk of unwanted side effects.
How do I prepare for laser resurfacing treatment?
First, consult your skin doctor to determine the best treatment for your desired results, skin type, and medical history. Tell your doctor if you tend to get cold sores or fever blisters around your mouth, as laser skin resurfacing may trigger an outbreak. Medications that can affect your blood’s ability to clot, such as aspirin, vitamin E, or ibuprofen, should be avoided, if possible, for ten days before surgery. An antibiotic may be prescribed before the procedure to prevent infection.
What can I expect during the procedure?
Depending on your treatment goals, you may treat your whole face or individual wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or forehead. Areas to be treated will be numbed with a local anesthetic. The entire process can take 30 minutes to two hours, depending on whether the entire face or just a particular area is being treated.
What can I expect after treatment?
You may experience redness and swelling after laser resurfacing, and you’ll need to keep the treated area clean and apply ointment to prevent the formation of scabs. Your skin may look lighter after the treatment, and it is recommended that you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect it during this time. Your skin should also be kept well-moisturized. It may take several months for redness to disappear completely.
Are there any side effects from laser resurfacing?
Although generally a safe and well-tolerated treatment, some patients incur burns or other injuries from the laser’s heat, scarring, pigmentation changes, or bacterial infections.
