What is laser resurfacing of the skin

Laser resurfacing of the skin is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser energy to improve the appearance of the skin. The procedure works by removing the outermost layers of damaged skin, revealing the fresh, youthful skin underneath. This can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and other signs of aging.

There are two types of laser resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative laser resurfacing removes the top layers of skin and is more invasive, while non-ablative laser resurfacing heats up the deeper layers of skin and is less invasive. Both types of laser resurfacing can be used to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin health.

The procedure is typically done on the face, but it can also be done on other parts of the body such as the neck, chest, hands, and arms. It is performed by a licensed medical professional and can be customized to target specific areas and skin concerns.

After the procedure, there is usually some redness and swelling, and the skin may be sensitive for a few days. It may take several days to a week for the skin to fully heal and for the final results to be visible.

As with any medical procedure, it is important to discuss the risks, benefits, and any other concerns with your doctor before undergoing laser skin resurfacing.
