What is Laser Resurfacing?

Laser resurfacing is an outpatient procedure that can address a variety of concerns, including irregular skin, wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. The laser resurfacing procedure may involve treating the entire face, which sometimes requires sedation or special preparation for extensive or deep treatments. Laser peel is a precise method for reducing facial wrinkles, scars, and blemishes, while laser vaporization is another term for laser skin resurfacing, emphasizing its precision.

There are two primary categories of laser resurfacing: ablative laser resurfacing and non-ablative laser resurfacing.

Ablative Lasers

Ablative lasers, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers and erbium lasers, work by removing the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) and heating the underlying skin to stimulate collagen production and encourage new growth of healthy skin and tissues. Collagen is a protein naturally found in the skin, but production gradually slows down with aging, leading to skin laxity (loose skin) and the development of wrinkles. By replenishing collagen, patients can achieve tighter, smoother skin and an overall more youthful appearance.

Non-Ablative Lasers

Nonablative laser treatments, like BBL (broadband light), leave the outer layer of skin intact while stimulating collagen production in the underlying skin, resulting in less downtime and gentler healing. The BBL laser delivers concentrated pulsating beams of light energy beneath the skin’s surface to promote collagen growth and resurface new, healthy skin with minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for patients seeking gradual improvement and a gentler healing process.

Ideal for Microlaser Peels and acne scar revision.

What to Expect During Laser Resurfacing Treatment

Laser skin resurfacing treatments typically take about one hour or less. During the procedure, the treated area is carefully targeted with laser energy, and the process may vary depending on whether ablative or non-ablative lasers are used. Topical numbing cream or sedation may be provided, depending on the extent of your individualized procedure. An initial consultation with Dr. Mike will determine the safest and most effective laser treatment for your skin type and specific needs.

Recovery & Results

Treated areas will heal differently based on the type of laser used, but many patients experience temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or mild discomfort. Using over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication and a cool compress can help alleviate discomfort, redness, and swelling during recovery. It is important to avoid sun exposure after treatment to protect the treated skin and maintain results. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal results and minimize risks such as scarring, infection, or discoloration.

Achieving desired results may require multiple treatments. Some patients experience dramatic results after just one session, but multiple treatments may be needed for the best results. Results will develop gradually as new collagen fibers develop and new skin is resurfaced, replacing the superficial layer of damaged skin.
