After Laser Skin Resurfacing We perform skin resurfacing using lasers to reduce wrinkles, reverse sun damage, eliminate precancerous skin lesions, and improve pigmentation. The use of lasers in medicine is complex. Dr. Funcik is trained in the use of lasers and can determine how and when the use of a laser is appropriate. A laser is a high-energy beam of light that can selectively transfer its energy into tissue to treat the skin.
Lasers contain a material that produces and amplifies light.
Two mirrors cause the light to reflect back and forth through this material. The result is a light beam that is collimated and intense. If you and Dr. Funcik determine that a laser procedure will meet your needs, the procedure can be scheduled in his office operating room or the outpatient facilities at East Cooper Regional Medical Center. Dr. Funcik typically uses a local anesthetic to numb the area to be treated, though a twilight anesthesia is also available. After the procedure, you will experience some swelling and skin redness.
