Laser skin resurfacing

The newest technique for treating acne scars, sun-damaged skin, and wrinkles is Laser Resurfacing. When performed by a skilled dermatologic surgeon, Laser Skin Resurfacing can be beneficial in the treatment of fine lines; it can tighten eyelid skin, reduce frown lines, crows feet, and improve skin tone and texture.

In recent years technological advances and refinements in technique have allowed dermatologists to provide their patients picture perfect complexions with a minimum of pain and side effects.
How is the Procedure Done?

Laser stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. In Laser Skin Resurfacing, a laser directs an intense stream of light at problem areas to vaporize them. A laser beam can be applied to varying depths of surface tissue to remove scars, blemishes, tattoos or even seal blood vessels and cut skin tissue.

A major advantage of the laser is that it produces no blood loss, thereby minimizing risk of shock and speeding up healing times. There are many types of Laser Skin Resurfacing procedures. The two most accepted procedures, for their precision and lack of complications, are Laser resurfacing CO2 and Erbium.
