WHAT IS LASER SKIN RESURFACING?

Laser skin resurfacing, also known as skin rejuvenation, is a relatively painless procedure that uses a variety of lasers and Intense Pulse Light (IPL) devices to reduce fine lines and surface irregularities, such as scarring, uneven pigmentation and sun damage. The treatment can dramatically improve the texture of your skin, while giving it the youthful glow you’ve always wanted.

Am I A Good Candidate For Laser Skin Resurfacing?

If you’re unhappy with facial wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, slight scarring and other imperfections, you may be a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing. The treatment is not for everyone, however. Those with olive, suntanned or black skin may take up to nine months to regain their normal pigmentation after treatment. Also, if you’re prone to scarring, have a skin disorder or you’re taking certain medications, you may not be a suitable candidate for this treatment.

Talk to your doctor about your medical history before opting to go through with laser skin resurfacing.

How Is Laser Skin Resurfacing Performed?

Depending on the level of treatment and the laser used during Laser Skin Resurfacing West Palm Beach experts at our practice may administer a topical anesthetic, a local anesthetic, a general anesthetic, or intravenous sedation. Our trained technician begins the procedure by cleansing the skin thoroughly. Passing the laser over the treatment area, emitting high-intensity pulses of light removes the outer layers of the skin. If you hear a zapping sound or smell burning during the treatment, don’t be alarmed. This is normal. Once the skin rejuvenation procedure is over, the technician will apply protective ointment and a bandage.

You cannot drive yourself home after the surgery if you have had any anesthetic. We suggest that you arrange for a ride home with a friend or relative.

Following the procedure, it’s normal to experience some swelling and mild discomfort, which can be minimized with ice packs or medication prescribed by your doctor. You may also develop a red, crusted appearance on the treatment area for up to 10 days. Make sure not to pick at this area, as you risk developing scars.

We will advise you to stay out of the sun until your skin returns to its normal color (it may have a bright pink hue for several weeks). Avoid wearing makeup for at least two weeks after treatment. We will apply a protective ointment and/or dressings, tape or bandage, immediately following the procedure. After one to three days, bandages should be replaced. Follow your instructions on how to cleanse and care for your skin.

Although laser skin resurfacing cannot stop the aging process, it can certainly take years off your face by improving skin’s texture and appearance.
