Laser facial rejuvenation is a skin resurfacing procedure that uses a laser to improve the appearance of your skin or treat minor facial flaws by removing layers of skin. Laser facial rejuvenation can be done with:
Ablative laser: This is a wounding laser, which takes away thin layers of skin. Kinds of ablative treatments comprise the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser and the erbium laser.
Nonablative laser: This is a non wounding laser, which invigorates collagen development and tightens primary skin. This contains numerous sorts of lasers as well as intense pulsed light (IPL) devices.
Another type of laser facial rejuvenation, fractional photothermolysis (Fraxel), is available in ablative and nonablative forms.
Laser facial rejuvenation can decrease the appearance of facial fine lines. Laser facial rejuvenation can also treat loss of skin tone and improve your complexion if you have scars or sun damage.
Laser facial rejuvenation can be used to treat:
- Wrinkles
- Age spots
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Sun-damaged skin
- Scars
Results
After ablative laser facial, your skin might stay red or pink for up to several months. However, once the treatment area begins to heal, you’ll notice an immediate difference in your skin quality and appearance. The effects can last for years.
Results after nonablative laser facial tend to be gradual and progressive, rather than immediate and dramatic. You will probably see enhancements in skin texture and pigment than in wrinkles.
After laser facial, avoid unprotected sun exposure to prevent irregular pigmentation. New sun damage also can reverse your results.
