Laser skin resurfacing technology has advanced tremendously in the last decade. Safer and more refined technology translates into improved levels of facial rejuvenation and less downtime. In skilled hands, laser skin resurfacing can reduce blemishes, scarring, and wrinkles while improving the overall texture of the skin.
What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing utilizes precise, concentrated beams of light to remove the outer layers of the skin. The result is a dramatic improvement in overall skin quality and appearance. The two most common types of lasers utilized in laser resurfacing are:
- CO2: CO2 uses carbon dioxide to treat scars, wrinkles, and other imperfections.
- Erbium Laser: erbium lasers carry fewer side effects than CO2 lasers and can be used to treat deep wrinkles.
Erbium and CO2 are two types of fractional laser treatments. They treat the skin using a fractionated method in which columns of skin are left untouched by the laser. This approach aids in the healing response of the skin, minimizing downtime.
