What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing? All About This Innovative Skin Treatment

It’s almost impossible to keep your complexion flawless over the years. Between sun damage, aging, and acne scars, your skin goes through a lot. 

If you want to clear your complexion and achieve optimal skin texture, consider laser skin resurfacing. This treatment removes skin imperfections to give you a youthful, smooth complexion. Here’s what you need to know about laser resurfacing. 

How It Works

Laser skin resurfacing works by removing the outer layers of your skin slowly. These layers are where imperfections like scars and wrinkles rest. Applying the laser to your skin burns through dead skin cells to refresh your complexion. After your set of laser resurfacing treatments is over, you will have a new layer of smooth, clear skin. 

We apply a numbing cream to your face before starting laser skin resurfacing treatments. This keeps you from feeling the heat from the lasers during your treatment. Most patients report feeling minimal sensation during the procedure. 

This is an outpatient procedure, so you will not need to stay in our office overnight. Laser resurfacing appointments last between 30 minutes and two hours. Depending on the sizes of the treatment areas, you may need more or less time. 

At North Dallas Dermatology Associates in Dallas, Texas, we schedule appointments with your priorities in mind. 

What It Treats

Laser skin resurfacing can treat a variety of skin concerns. This procedure is normally done to target long-term skin problems that do not go away with topical products. If you have severe sun damage, signs of aging, or scarring, laser resurfacing could be just what you need. 

This treatment can target the following skin concerns:

• Acne scars
• Wrinkles
• Sun damage
• Hyperpigmentation
• Redness and blotchiness
• Rough texture
• Pre-cancerous lesions

These skin imperfections can get in the way of achieving a flawless complexion. If you want to get a fresh, smooth face without surgery, laser skin resurfacing is a good option. 

Aftercare

After your appointment, you will need to take special care of your skin. The laser is safe for your skin, but it’s important to help it heal after the procedure. For optimal results, you should avoid damaging products and sun exposure after each appointment. 

We will give you a special cleanser to wash the treatment areas after your laser resurfacing procedure. This ensures that no bacteria get trapped in your skin while it is healing. Then you should apply soothing moisturizers and creams that help your skin heal. 

Petroleum jelly can keep your skin soft and protected while it heals. Avoid products that are known to cause irritation, redness, or dryness during the healing process. It can help to sleep with an extra pillow to keep your head elevated for the next few days after your appointment. 

The Results: A Clear, Smooth Complexion

Most patients need multiple laser skin resurfacing sessions to completely fade their skin marks. Once you have completed your sessions, you will see a clear complexion in the mirror. Laser skin resurfacing gets rid of the majority of your complexion concerns while preserving the health of your skin. 

We offer light, medium, and deep laser resurfacing options to make sure you get the results you want. Some skin concerns do not require stronger laser treatments, which is why we offer this range. We want to make sure you are satisfied with your skin after your treatments.
