Laser Resurfacing

For the right patient, laser resurfacing can be extremely gratifying. The advantages are natural looking results, long-term skin enhancement with what is usually a difficult problem to address, and no scarring from the laser resurfacing itself. This procedure takes about thirty minutes to one hour, depending on the areas being treated.
The procedure is relatively simple and straightforward. A patient, who is deemed a good candidate for this procedure, is given antibiotics and anti-virals. The patient is given a mild oral sedative and topical or local anesthesia is administered. Next, the laser is used to precisely, resurface the skin in either a deep, fractioned or superficial fashion. The early result appears as either mild redness or moderate redness with minimal bleeding. A thick ointment or ointment and dressings are placed on the treated area. Frequent washes and ointment reapplication are initiated once you get home. The skin is pink for a few days to two weeks, and gradually starts looking natural and vibrant. Patients are cautioned to stay out of the sun the first few weeks after this procedure. As new skin is forming, it is more susceptible to hyperpigmentation when exposed to the sun. Smoking delays wound healing, which can lead to permanent scarring.

Transform your skin with a MicoLaserPeel for treatment of fine lines, sun damage, and pigment irregularities. This unique laser/peel combination improves skin tone and texture with a short downtime. Multiple treatments may be required depending on severity of skin condition.

Your treatment is customized to your skin type and condition. Prior to treatment, the skin is numbed topically. The laser/peel may take about 30 minutes or longer, depending on your skin concerns. Immediately following the treatment, you may experience redness, which can last for three to four days. You will be advised on after-care, which includes use of a protective ointment to keep the skin moist. Over time, your skin will show increasing improvements, revealing new, healthier skin.
