Laser Resurfacing Overview
Laser resurfacing involves an intense light beam
that treats damaged surface skin
Laser resurfacing can help wrinkles, acne scars, age
spots, face blemishes, stretch marks, scars, sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Fractional lasers like Fraxel laser treatment and
Active FX can target specific problem areas
All lasers fall into two categories: ablative and
non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers are invasive, like plastic surgery, and
remove the top layer of your skin. Your skin surface will appear red and weep
afterwards as it repairs itself.
Non-ablative lasers are less invasive, using heat to
stimulate cells to thicken the underlying collagen resulting in improved skin
tone and elasticity. Since non-ablative lasers do not remove a layer of your
skin, there is minimal swelling, redness, and recovery time.
These lasers are often used in combination with
cooling sprays, pulsing techniques, or combination laser frequencies (using
both long and short waves to reach different goals).
