Laser Resurfacing - A new anti-aging treatment
Posted Monday, December 07, 2009
Do you want youthful, healthier-looking skin? You are not alone. Thousands of patients each year undergo a variety of anti-aging treatments, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and BOTOX© cosmetic procedures. One of the newer developments in anti-aging technology is laser resurfacing, used to smooth out wrinkles, eliminate age spots, and generally rejuvenate skin.
Laser resurfacing is an outpatient procedure typically done under local or general anesthesia that uses a laser pulse to achieve younger-looking skin. Laser resurfacing is effective in producing a variety of age-defying results, including:
- Tightening of the skin
- Removing age spots (hyperpigmentation)
- Smoothing wrinkles and crow's feet
- Reducing scar tissue
- Stimulating growth of new skin cells
The depth of the laser pulse is carefully controlled and calculated, making laser resurfacing less abrasive than other rejuvenation techniques. This advanced technology eliminates the damaged skin cells with a minimum of heat damage to the underlying tissue.
Because the laser is so precise, the pain patients experience is usually no worse than a sunburn. The recovery period can be as short as 7-10 days, which is why many patients choose laser resurfacing at a facility near popular vacation spots that offer cosmetic surgery getaway packages.
After the procedure, the cosmetic surgeon will treat the affected area to minimize pain and scab formation, so that the end result is fresh, healthier-looking skin without wrinkles or age spots. The anti-aging effects of laser skin resurfacing are immediate.
Laser skin resurfacing is very safe. Major complications are very unlikely, and minor complications usually will not hinder its anti-aging effects. At first, patients may be disturbed by their skin's appearance, including redness and possible blistering, but this is a completely natural part of the healing process. When the healing process is complete, the result is healthier-looking, wrinkle-free, youthful skin. For this reason, patients nationwide are choosing laser skin resurfacing to rejuvenate their skin and create a more youthful appearance.
Whether you are looking to smooth fine or moderate wrinkles, eliminate potentially dangerous hyperpigmentation (age spots), reduce unsightly scarring, or simply want younger-looking skin, laser skin resurfacing may be the right choice for you. Of course, you should always consult a doctor before considering a medical procedure of any kind. A trained cosmetic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery will inform you of all the risks and benefits of any treatment you consider, to help you make the best decision for your skin.
