Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Laser Skin Rejuvenation Benefits for Damaged Skin

Laser skin rejuvenation, also known as a “laser peel”, is the one solution that you may want to consider if you (1) have wrinkles and fine lines on your face, (2) have skin that has a surface that is uneven due to scarring from acne, or (3) have redness and age spots (hyperpigmentation). Lasers can help to rejuvenate your skin, removing many of the signs of aging and damage from the sun. You’ll also notice a tightening of your skin which will make it feel healthier. Laser wrinkle removal will leave you feeling better about yourself at any age!

Women are always looking for a facial treatment that will leave their skin smooth, firm, and young looking. Laser resurfacing is one of several invasive procedures that are proving to be effective in the removal of the signs of ageing so that your skin looks and feels healthy once again. Some studies also show that laser treatments will benefit some precancerous conditions such as lesions on the skin as well as severe acne.

The results of laser rejuvenation will depend a great deal on amount of damage that has already occurred to your skin. Skin rejuvenates quite easily if it’s been well cared for over the years. This is why it’s important to start a skin care program as soon as you can, no matter how young you are. As you age the damage to the layers of your skin increases and each wrinkle becomes harder to remove. When you take care of your skin with proper cleansing and moisturizing you reduce the amount of wrinkles and other signs of aging to your face.

Laser Resurfacing Procedure

A carbon dioxide laser is used to perform the surgery. A beam of high energy light is used to reduce wrinkles, lines, scars, and blemishes. Damaged and aging skin is removed one layer at a time. The laser will be specifically customized to your individual skin and for each area of your face. The delicate skin around your eyelids will require a more gentle treatment than the skin on your cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.

Laser treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia and requires no overnight stay in a hospital. However, there are some cases where the procedure requires sedation. The laser is used to remove the skin’s superficial layer through the use of a constant pulse. Your doctor will be able to control the depth which the laser penetrates your skin based on the amount of damage that your skin has sustained.

Recovery Time from Laser Surgery

After the laser surgery has been performed your doctor will give you precise instructions to follow and you’ll be able to go home. Some of the treated areas on your skin, such as your cheeks, may be covered with tape that contains healing ointments. Most women recover fully from laser rejuvenation in about eight to ten days although there will be some degree of redness for anywhere from one to six months. You’ll be able to wear makeup after about ten days but make sure that you apply your makeup carefully and sparingly for another month.

Once wrinkles, fine lines, and skin unevenness have been corrected and removed through the use of the laser rejuvenation procedure you can continue with your regular skin care program although you may want to ensure that you’re using products that are rich in anti aging skin care ingredients such as Vitamin A and green tea. After you’ve completed the laser treatment you’ll want to do all that you can to slow the return of wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin pigmentation, and age spots to your skin. Laser rejuvenation is all about the removal of layers of damaged skin so that the result is a smoother and fresher complexion.
