Facial laser resurfacing is a non-invasive facial procedure that can deliver exceptional results and help you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin. This facial laser resurfacing guide explains how a special type of laser device, guided by a trained medical aesthetics provider, removes the outermost layer of skin and encourages the production of collagen. As soon as your skin heals from the treatment, you’ll begin to see amazing improvements that can help you look and feel ageless.
Benefits of Facial Laser Resurfacing
There are two commonly used types of facial laser resurfacing known as ablative lasers and nonablative lasers. Facial laser resurfacing delivers enhanced skin texture and tone and a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles in just one to three sessions. Both types of laser skin resurfacing are used to address a variety of common skin conditions and concerns, such as:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Acne and acne scarring
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Age spots or liver spots
- Sunspots
- Birthmarks
Consultation Process and Customized Plans
Part of your success with facial laser resurfacing is selecting the right type of laser therapy for your unique skin type and problems. That’s why we begin every treatment plan with a thorough consultation to learn more about your skin. Certain types of lasers may be more intense than others, which is why it’s important to select the right laser for best results. Ablative lasers can be more aggressive and require more downtime, whereas nonablative lasers like Moxi require less downtime and still produce great results.
As experts in skin rejuvenation treatments, we’ll guide you and create a custom-curated treatment plan that can help you achieve the skin you dream of. While everyone ages, we can help you minimize the aesthetic signs of aging with personalized treatment plans.
Facial Laser Resurfacing – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Are laser treatments painful?
Treatments generally take between 30 minutes and two hours to complete. They are not painful, however, some patients may experience mild discomfort. To make the procedure as comfortable as possible, we utilize a mild local anesthetic to help numb the area before beginning the laser treatment. It is normal to experience a mild “burning” or “snapping” feeling throughout the procedure.
How does facial laser resurfacing improve skin texture?
Using an energy-based device, laser resurfacing improves skin texture by destroying the outer layer of the skin to stimulate new collagen production. In turn, new collagen helps enhance skin texture and appearance. Once a new layer of “fresh” skin forms, patients experience healthier, more radiant-looking skin.
What skin concerns can be effectively treated with this procedure?
Facial laser resurfacing is a multi-purpose skin treatment that can effectively treat a variety of common skin concerns. Laser resurfacing can be used to help improve the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
In addition, this treatment can be used to treat sun spots, acne scars, birthmarks, and enlarged oil glands, and improve uneven skin tone or texture. Whether you have one skin concern or multiple, facial laser resurfacing can help improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Is there a specific downtime associated with facial laser resurfacing?
The downtime associated with facial laser resurfacing depends on the type of treatment used. Ageless Remedies of Roswell offers a variety of different types of facial laser resurfacing which can address a variety of skin concerns.
