Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to improve the appearance of the skin. It is a non-invasive or minimally invasive technique that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, scars, age spots, sun damage, and other skin irregularities.

During the procedure, a laser is used to create controlled damage to the outer layer of the skin, which prompts the body to produce new, healthier skin cells. The laser can be adjusted to target specific areas of the skin, and different types of lasers can be used to achieve different results.

There are two types of laser skin resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative laser resurfacing removes the outer layer of skin, while non-ablative resurfacing stimulates the production of collagen without damaging the surface of the skin.

Laser skin resurfacing can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. Recovery time varies depending on the type of laser used and the extent of the treatment, but most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two. However, it is important to follow post-procedure care instructions to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications.
