How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?
Before your intensive or deep laser skin resurfacing treatment, you might be required to apply a retinoid cream for several weeks in advance. This preparation enhances the skin's readiness for optimal results. To ensure your comfort during the procedure, medications may be recommended to minimize any discomfort, allowing you to remain calm throughout the session. For cases where only minor corrections are necessary, a topical anesthetic might be used to numb the areas targeted by the laser. During the treatment, you'll be seated comfortably in our treatment chair as the laser systematically addresses the specific areas for resurfacing. You may experience a gentle warmth as the laser works, which is immediately followed by a cooling sensation provided by the device’s integrated cooling system. The laser not only removes the outer layers of damaged skin cells but also promotes the production of new collagen, revitalizing your skin and markedly diminishing imperfections like scars.
