Skin Resurfacing

Ideal for treating deep wrinkles and photo-damaged skin, laser skin resurfacing technologies can be highly effective and long-lasting for skin rejuvenation. With Er: YAG technology, highly absorbed infrared laser light is used to vaporize the upper portion of the skin, with residual heat transferred to deeper layers. The resulting inflammation initiates collagen production through fibroblastic activity. Results include:

Disappearance or significant reduction of wrinkles
Smoother, more vibrant skin
Disappearance of age spots
Disappearance of acne scars

The degree of long-term improvement is directly proportional to the inflammation created by the laser. Typically, re-epithelialization will take place in up to one week and erythema will subside after three to four weeks. Click below to read about multiple skin resurfacing technologies.
