Laser Skin Resurfacing - Before and After Photos

A Skin Renovator

Even if you are satisfied with the look of your skin it may be that some spots of skin on your face are not perfect. You know it, of course, and every time it brings such a discomfort to you. One of the means to get rid of it may become laser skin resurfacing — a procedure that has a number of other names like lasabrasion, laser peel and so on. But all of the terms mean the same — a treatment that uses laser beams pulsating at the problem spots on your skin. Laser clears your skin by removing its damaged or unwanted layers one by one. The spots are considered to be the targets that are eliminated by laser beams; hence, there is no harm for the surrounding skin, and such problem zones may be easily removed.

The laser skin resurfacing deals only with the epidermis, or the outer skin layer. The other layer followed by epidermis on a surface gets affected, too. These beams heat it and the new skin cells are stimulated to grow and renovate. After the recovery process, the new skin looks very nice and fresh.

Look at before and after photos and see what initial problems may be and how they can be eliminated thanks to the procedure of the laser skin resurfacing. This cosmetic procedure reduced such defects and imperfections as wrinkles on the face, sunburns and undesirable pigmentation spots, acne scars and birthmarks. If you are unsatisfied with the color of your skin this treatment may be effective, too. Moreover, such problems as big nose oil glands can be corrected as well.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure

If you have decided to undergo the laser skin resurfacing, contact your plastic surgeon and ask him/her about all the needed information. Very often specialists recommend undergoing some preparing procedures that begin a few days earlier than the present laser treatment. In this case a surgeon will examine a face and a skin type of a patient and will work out an individual schedule of procedures.

Laser skin resurfacing is a very popular cosmetic procedure that is performed on an outpatient basis. Its period varies from 30 to 120 minutes. The very process is rather painful, and a patient will need local anesthesia and the sedatives. A cosmetic consultant will clean the face and put the eye protection.

Laser skin resurfacing may be performed with two types of the laser: CO2 and erbium. The first type has been used for many years and is an accurate one. The second type is applied to get rid of wrinkles and lines on the face.
