LASER RESURFACING is an excellent modality for treating sharp
lines surrounding the mouth, nose, and eyes. The laser uses tiny bursts
of light to vaporize thickened, irregular and discolored surface skin
on the face and chest. In addition to leveling the skins crevasses, laser
resurfacing often confers the bonus benefit of overall tightening and
firming of the underlying tissue.
Small spot procedures can be done with just a local anesthetic or numbing.
More extensive work may require nerve blocks or general anesthetic. Aftercare
and recuperative downtime will vary with the extent of the treatment;
2 to 4 weeks is average. All the details of what to expect are discussed
at your Pre-Treatment Consultation. Care following resurfacing generally
involves the applications of ointments and dressings and 3 to 4 all-important
follow-up visits to check progress and manage side effects. Overnight
stays with licensed aftercare specialists can be arranged for patients
who live alone or require assistance.
