What is laser skin resurfacing?
Basically, laser skin resurfacing removes skin layers to give you younger-, smoother-looking skin. The laser is moved over the area to be treated until the damaged skin layers are removed and the imperfections have disappeared. Laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat sun damage, brown spots, acne, wrinkles, crow’s feet, scars from chicken pox, and superficial facial scars.
What are the benefits of this treatment?
This procedure is noninvasive, safe, and very effective. It is done on an outpatient basis and can be done in just a few minutes, or it may take a couple of hours, depending on the size of the area you would like treated. You may need more than one treatment session; however, yet another benefit of laser treatments is that the results are long lasting.
What happens after laser skin resurfacing?
After your treatment, your skin may be swollen and uncomfortable. It may feel sensitive and easily irritated. You should stay out of the sun as much as possible, and make sure to wear lots of sunscreen and clothing that protects you from the sun when you do go out. Using aloe vera on your skin can help to make it feel better, reduce any inflammation, and keep the skin moisturized. You should avoid any harsh cleansers or exfoliants that may irritate the skin.
