Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser Skin Resurfacing- For Smoother and Younger Looking Skin

Laser skin resurfacing is performed in our comfortable, state-of-the art operating suite under local anesthesia. In this facial cosmetic treatment, layers of skin are removed thereby restoring a softer, smoother, more youthful appearing skin. This procedure lessens or completely removes signs of aging - wrinkles in particular. In addition to laser skin resurfacing, other treatment options include dermabrasion and chemical peels.

As we age, the effects of the sun, wind, time and hormones are seen in the skin as the collagen beneath the skin wears out. Surface irregularities such as brown skin discolorations also occur. Two types of wrinkles affect the skin, static and dynamic. Dynamic wrinkles are the lines that form from smiling, squinting and frowning. Static wrinkles are the wrinkles that remain even when the face is relaxed. Examples of static wrinkles are the "crow's feet" lines around the eyes and the vertical lines above the lips.

The Erbium Laser for Laser Skin Resurfacing

The Erbium laser is our preferred laser for skin resurfacing. This laser produces less heat and is considerably gentler to the skin than other resurfacing lasers. Treatment with the Erbium laser stimulates the production of collagen which results in a tightening and smoothing of the skin. Most people are able to return to their normal activities in about one week after laser skin resurfacing. During this period, topical ointments are applied to allow the skin to heal as soon as possible. Make-up can usually be worn one week later.
