Laser Skin Resurfacing

scroll

Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced cosmetic procedure that utilizes specialized laser technology to improve the overall appearance, texture, and tone of the skin. At Nowak Aesthetics, under the expert care of Dr. Nowak, we offer state-of-the-art laser treatments to address various skin concerns, such as wrinkles, fine lines, scars, pigmentation, and sun damage. This procedure can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient, resulting in minimal downtime and outstanding outcomes.

What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted laser beams to remove damaged skin layers, stimulating the body’s natural healing process to regenerate smoother, clearer skin. The treatment is designed to address a range of skin concerns by utilizing the power of focused light energy. The laser energy can penetrate deep into the skin layers, targeting everything from acne scars and fine lines to sunspots and uneven skin texture.

There are several different types of lasers used in resurfacing procedures, each offering unique benefits to address specific skin concerns.

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

  • Helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
  • Removes the outer layer of damaged skin to stimulate the regeneration of new skin
  • Targets dark spots, sunspots, and uneven pigmentation
  • Stimulates the production of collagen
  • Recovery times are shorter, with many patients experiencing little to no downtime
  • A less invasive option compared to surgical alternatives

Candidates For Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment

Laser skin resurfacing is an excellent option for individuals looking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. They typically have concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, or acne scars.

Candidates should also not have had recent skin surgery or be pregnant and should not be prone to keloid scarring. Additionally, those seeking a non-invasive solution to skin rejuvenation and minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures are great candidates for this treatment. During your skin treatment consultation, we will assess your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals to determine the best laser option for you.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure

The laser skin resurfacing procedure begins with a thorough consultation, where one of our Medical Providers will discuss your skin concerns and goals. Depending on the laser used and the depth of treatment required, a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. For deeper treatments, a local anesthetic may be used.

Once you are ready, your Provider will use the laser to target specific areas of your skin. The laser will deliver focused light energy to the skin’s surface, removing damaged skin cells and stimulating the production of collagen. The treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the area being treated and the type of laser used.

Fractional CO2

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is one of the most powerful tools for skin resurfacing. The laser emits a beam of light that targets the skin in a fractional way, creating microscopic treatment zones. These zones stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin. Fractional CO2 is particularly effective for addressing deep wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage.

Clear & Brilliant

Clear & Brilliant is a gentle, non-invasive laser resurfacing treatment that uses light energy to create tiny channels in the skin. This procedure is ideal for individuals who want to refresh their skin and improve its tone and texture. It is less aggressive than other lasers, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin or minimal skin issues.

LaseMD

LaseMD is a non-ablative laser treatment that works by delivering light energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production without damaging the outer layer. This procedure is perfect for those seeking to improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. LaseMD is gentle, has minimal downtime, and is suitable for patients with all skin types.

Fotona 4D

The Fotona 4D is a combination of multiple laser technologies that work together to tighten, rejuvenate, and resurface the skin. It uses both ablative and non-ablative laser energy to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and treat sagging skin. Fotona 4D is a versatile treatment that can address both surface-level and deeper skin concerns, including facial aging and loss of skin tone.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery

After the procedure, you may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated areas. These symptoms are normal and typically subside within a few days to a week. For non-ablative treatments, recovery is generally quicker, and patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. For more intense treatments, such as Fractional CO2, you may need to follow a more comprehensive aftercare regimen, including gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding sun exposure.

We will provide specific post-treatment care instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results. It is essential to follow these guidelines, as they will help minimize any risks and promote healing.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Results

The results from laser skin resurfacing are often noticeable within a few days to a week, with continued improvement over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases. As the skin heals, new skin cells replace the damaged ones; patients notice smoother, more youthful skin with fewer imperfections in the treatment area.

After Fractional CO2 and other ablative treatments, patients will typically notice smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. For more superficial treatments like Clear & Brilliant or LaseMD, the results may be subtler but still effective for those looking for a refreshed appearance. Though the results of laser skin resurfacing are long-lasting, maintenance treatments may be recommended to maintain your skin’s optimal appearance.
