Laser Resurfacing
Laser Resurfacing
By eliminating damaged skin layers, laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of skin. In order to produce smoother, more youthful-looking skin, the technique can help lessen the visibility of wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other skin defects.
What is LASER RESURFACING​?
In order to enhance the appearance of the skin, a cosmetic procedure called laser resurfacing involves removing layers of damaged skin with a laser. The laser encourages the growth of new collagen, which can enhance the skin’s firmness and texture. Many skin issues, including wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone or texture, can be treated with laser resurfacing. In a medical context, a dermatologist or aesthetician usually performs the operation.
HOW DOES Laser Resurfacing WORK?a
A laser is used to accurately remove layers of damaged skin during laser resurfacing. The body’s natural healing process is triggered by the laser’s tiny, regulated wounds in the skin, which encourage the development of fresh, healthy skin cells. The collagen, a protein that provides the skin its firmness and suppleness, can also be stimulated by the laser. As a result, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other skin flaws can be reduced in appearance with laser resurfacing. Ablative and non-ablative lasers, each having a different level of intensity and downtime, are two of the numerous types of lasers used in resurfacing. According to the patient, the treatment can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more and is normally done while the patient is under local anaesthetic.
