LASER WRINKLE REMOVAL / LASER SKIN RESURFACING
Laser Resurfacing can treat not only wrinkles but also sun-damaged
skin, growths, acne scarring, and other conditions. Resurfacing lasers
have for the most part replaced chemical peels and dermabrasion. The
precision of these lasers have enabled doctors to remove tissue precisely,
without blood, and to a desired depth. They also tighten collagen fibers.
Many facial conditions such as
fine wrinkling around the eyelids, forehead, nose and mouth can be
smoothed by LASER skin resurfacing. Deep laugh and frown lines can be
minimized. Even the lingering effects of scars, irregular surgical scars,
and other surface abnormalities can be successfully treated.
The Erbium and the CO2 laser are used for skin resurfacing. The difference
between the two lies in depth penetration. The CO2 laser is more powerful,
in experienced hands will produce great results. The Ebrium has the same
properties as a CO2 but has limited depth penetration, limiting its
effectiveness.
The Erbium laser is said to be safer, faster healing, less redness, and
less scarring than the CO2. This is true because the less the skin is
penetrated the quicker the healing time and the less the chances of
scarring and complications.
Laser resurfacing has its benefits of tightening the skin, reducing
wrinkles, removing scars and blemishes.
