Skin rejuvenation is something that many women think about on a daily basis. However, the many procedures and products available in today’s market can leave some women frustrated and confused about what the best methods actually are. This is no easy question to answer, as different procedures benefit some women more than others. Luckily, there is one procedure that thousands of women are using to remove their unwanted wrinkles and blemishes.
What Is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is a cutting edge solution to the unfortunate effects of aging. Concentrated beams of light are used to remove layers of damaged skin that usually remain on the surface when we age. Carbon dioxide or erbium lasers can be used to vaporize these unpleasant layers, allowing softer, smoother layers to rise to the surface. Once the top layer of skin is removed, the heat of the lasers helps to stimulate growth, resulting in new collagen fibers over time that give your face a softer, healthier appearance once the healing process is complete.
Aside from removing wrinkles, laser resurfacing is also used to treat scars, warts and other skin conditions. The latest laser technology uses extremely short pulses to reduce the amount of heat damage caused during the procedure. Recovery after a laser treatment is typically two weeks, though some patients see result far quicker. Swelling and redness will likely occur during this time, but it is more than worth the long term benefits of laser resurfacing.
Laser resurfacing is an outpatient procedure, so you don’t have to worry about over night stays or lengthy doctor bills. The procedure is quick, easy and affordable. Treatments can be focused on specific problem areas, such as wrinkles around the eyes or on the forehead, or you can have a full facial. Every resurfacing procedure is customized to fit the needs of the patient. A full facial may take up to two hours, but smaller procedures can be performed in as little as thirty minutes.
