Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser technology has advanced the art of medicine particularly in the last decade. Lasers are now applied in facial aesthetic surgery. They can be used to safely remove fine wrinkles of the face including those around the mouth (perioral) and eyes (periorbital), with less chance of scarring. These procedures can often be done in the office setting under local anesthesia. For full-face procedures, IV sedation is usually required. The reduction in wrinkles is usually noticeable immediately after the procedure. The laser can actually "vaporize" the wrinkles resulting in smoother, firmer, younger looking skin.

What kind of Laser is used?
There are many kinds of Lasers available to treat the skin. These include laser for fine blood vessels, pigmentary changes and wrinkles. The laser most often used for wrinkle removal is the CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Laser. This laser vaporizes skin to smoothe wrinkles and results in the formation of new collagen to create tightening of the skin.

How long will it take for the skin to heal?
Initially, there will be crusting and swelling of the skin. After several days, the new pink skin is revealed. This pinkness will gradually fade over the next several weeks but can last two to three months. Sunscreen is very important during this phase of healing. Make-up can usually be applied between 10 to 14 days after your procedure. Our aesthetician will help in directing your make-up needs.

Does Laser require one procedure?
The process of Laser peeling is as much an art as it is a science. For the most part, one laser treatment will remove 70-80% of the wrinkles. It may be beneficial to perform a touchup after the initial procedure. Botox and/or fillers can also help to maintain the result.

What are the risks?
Laser Skin Resurfacing is safer than the deeper chemical peels of the past. Hyperpigmentation may occur and is easily managed with bleaching cream. Your skin will be a shade lighter after healing as a result of treating the pigmentary issues of the skin. Scarring is a rare complication.
