Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a treatment that targets the top layer of skin by using light. It can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as remove sun damage from the face. The process is performed in the office, and usually takes a couple of hours, although it may take longer if you have had more extensive laser treatments.

The first step in this procedure is to apply a local anesthetic to the areas being treated. Next, a beam of concentrated light is directed onto the targeted area. When the laser light hits the surface of your skin, it causes microscopic changes in the collagen fibers in your skin. These changes cause your skin to become firmer, tighter, less wrinkled, and smoother. Your skin will look rejuvenated and revitalized after healing.
