Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that improves the texture and tone of the skin, as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. The laser energy is converted into heat, which causes controlled damage to the skin cells in the targeted area. This process removes the damaged skin cells and triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

During the procedure, the laser energy is directed at specific areas of the skin, causing controlled damage to the outer layers. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, which involves the production of collagen and elastin fibers. These fibers help to plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.

So this is a little bit more of an intense treatment where 1540, which is the wavelength, is used to draw holes into the dermis of the skin and create controlled damage and heat dissipation. So when the body heals this, you get more collagen production, elastin production, and all the good things you need for youthful skin. When you have a thicker dermis, you hold onto more water which makes the skin look more plump, which is more youthful. So all these things combined will keep your complexion looking absolutely radiant and young looking.

Laser skin resurfacing is a popular cosmetic procedure that can help to improve the appearance of the skin. The treatment works by targeting damaged skin cells with a laser beam, which breaks down the cells and triggers the body’s natural healing process.

As the body heals, new, healthy skin cells are generated, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.Laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including fine lines and deep wrinkles (crow’s feet, perioral (mouth) wrinkle, periorbital (eye) wrinkles, frown lines…), sun damage, enlarged pores, and acne scars. 

What to Expect:

During the procedure, the area to be treated will be cleansed and numbed with a topical cream. Once the area is numb, the laser handpiece will be passed over the skin. During your treatment, you may feel a snapping sensation caused by the laser. The whole process usually takes less than an hour to complete. Most people will see significant improvements in their skin after just one treatment, though multiple treatments may be necessary for best results.

How We Measure Your Results:

We use a Visia® digital skin analysis to track your progress. This device uses high-resolution cameras and multi-spectral imaging to produce a detailed analysis of your skin to measure different aspects including wrinkles, pore size, pigmentation, redness, and UV damage.This personalized approach helps to track your progress over time. The Visia® digital skin analysis is an important part of our commitment to providing you with the best possible care. With this information, we can tailor our treatments to your specific needs and ensure that you are getting the most benefit from our services.

Cost:

Laser Skin Resurfacing treatments can range in cost from $350 to $650 per treatment, depending on the size of the area being treated and the overall severity of the problem. In general, larger areas or more severe conditions will require more treatments and, as a result, will be more costly. However, many people find that the results of laser skin resurfacing are worth the investment

Possible side effects :

After treatment, the skin will be red and swollen. This is normal and will subside within a few days. There may also be some peeling or flaking of the skin as the old cells are replaced with new ones. It is important to avoid exposure to sunlight during this time and to protect the skin with sunscreen and clothing. 

How long do results last:

The results of laser skin resurfacing can last for several years, although you may need to have additional treatments to maintain your results. The length of time that your results will last will depend on a number of factors, including your age, skin type, and the extent of your treatment.
