What is Skin Resurfacing? Laser skin resurfacing is a process that removes layers of skin. Removing the layers of skin promotes new skin cells to grow, creating a tighter skin. Although it is an outpatient procedure, depending on the area being treated, you might need to undergo general anesthesia (especially when the entire face is being done). Additionally, the procedure can last from 45 minutes to about two hours. There are different kinds of photo rejuvenation and different lasers that can be used. Depending on the procedure you are having done can have a lot of influence on recovery time, recovery process, and when you see the end results of the procedure. Benefits ​ Laser resurfacing allows us to develop a unique treatment for each patient. Every patient receives a different outcome because everyone’s skin is different and has had different exposure to things like the sun or acne. Resurfacing can allow you to remove some of the damage, which results in a smoother, tighter looking face. Furthermore, this treatment needs far less recovery times compared to older methods. Modern technology has provided doctors the tools to help you address skin issues in an advanced way. Working with the staff at Victoria Garden Medical Spa to decide which laser skin resurfacing procedure is best for you is very important. If you want to get started on looking like the best you, call us to schedule an appointment.
