Skin Resurfacing Laser resurfacing is a technique for smoothing fine wrinkles in the skin. This method results in less bleeding, bruising and post-operative discomfort than other resurfacing techniques. Facial skin tends to loosen and sag with time. Fine lines appear near the eyes, on and around the lips, and even across the cheeks.
Creases deepen around the mouth and between the eyebrows.
Different things can accelerate lines and wrinkling, cigarette smoke, stress, sun exposure, poor nutrition, pollution and alcohol can all spell disaster for your skin. The laser can be applied to the skin in short pulses to remove irregular contours, discolored areas, tattoos, or blood vessels. The laser uses a beam of light to vaporize the outer layers of damaged skin at precisely controlled levels of penetration. All skin surfacing techniques have the same goal, i.e. to remove damaged and wrinkled skin which allows new skin layers to be exposed. The CO2 laser is used for sun damaged, aging, wrinkled or scarred skin.
