What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

The Erbium laser is the ultimate technology for aesthetic skin resurfacing. Laser Skin Resurfacing is designed to remove superficial wrinkles around the eyes, lips, forehead and cheeks seen in aging skin. Facial scars and sun-damaged skin are also excellent candidates for this treatment.

What kind of results can I expect?

Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth are removed, while the deeper frown lines and grooves are softened. Once the outer layer of skin has been removed, the new skin beneath reveals a softer, smoother, more youthful appearance. Many patients say our laser can erase up to ten years in a little more than an hour.

What is the procedure of the treatment?

The laser gives your physician precise control over the natural exfoliation process as it gently vaporizes the outer layer of sun-damaged or acne-scarred skin to reveal the smooth, fresh skin underneath. Lines are removed in a precise, rapid, bloodless fashion, achieving excellent results. With this new technology, treatment can be tailored to achieve our patients' expectations.

What are the benefits of laser resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing gives your physician precise control as the procedure gently vaporizes the damaged or acne-scarred skin to reveal the smooth, fresh skin underneath. Scars are removed in a precise and rapid fashion achieving excellent results and the recovery time is much shorter than traditional treatments.

What is the recovery time for the treatment?

Generally, recovery time with Laser Skin Resurfacing is rapid and gentle. During the first few days after your procedure, your skin will weep, as new collagen is formed to rebuild the skin from the bottom up. Some crusting may develop as a new skin surface is formed.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients do not require anaesthetic. Some patients have indicated that they feel a slight tingling when the laser pulses, or that the laser pulse feels like the snap of a rubber band against the skin.

What should you expect after treatment?

Results vary from patient to patient and may not be immediate. Results from laser scar and treatment are generally progressive and may require multiple treatments.

Do laser treatments work?

Our current laser technology has been shown to improve or eliminate red or raised scars that will also stimulate the production of collagen.
