Laser skin resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure performed by a dermatologist or physician where an energy-based device is used to improve the look and feel of skin. Depending on your skin requirement, your dermatologist may recommend you either non-ablative or ablative laser.

• Ablative lasers:It involves carbon dioxide (CO2) or erbium. CO2 laser resurfacing treatments are used to fade up scars, deep wrinkles, and warts. While erbium is for fine lines and wrinkles, along with other superficial skin concerns. Both treatment options of ablative lasers remove outside layers of the skin.

• Non-ablative lasers: It includes pulsed light, pulsed-dye lasers, and fractional lasers. Non-ablative laser resurfacing is used to improve skin texture and tone without damaging the skin’s surface. It stimulates collagen production and cellular renewal. The treatment helps to tighten skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and mild wrinkles, and improve pigmentation issues.

Laser scar treatment is an effective way to reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles. 

• Smooths Skin Texture: Helps reduce raised or uneven scars, giving your skin a smoother look.
• Fades Scar Appearance: Minimise discolouration and blend scars with surrounding skin.
• Non-Invasive Solution: No surgery is needed; it’s a safe and targeted treatment.
• Boosts Collagen: Stimulates collagen production for healthier and firmer skin over time.
• Customisable Treatments: Laser skin resurfacing treatment tailored to suit your scar type and skin needs.
• Minimal Downtime: Most people return to normal activities quickly.

Laser scar treatment can help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

Laser scar resurfacing works best for individuals ready to improve their skin’s appearance.

• Healthy Skin: Best suited for individuals free from active infection or significant acne breakouts. 
• Mature Scars: Works well on scars that are at least a few months old.
• Realistic Goals: Perfect for those seeking improvement, not perfection.
• Non-Smokers: Smoking can affect healing, so non-smokers respond better.
• Variety of Scars: Effective on acne scars, surgical scars, and injury scars.
• Clear Expectations: A consultation helps determine if this treatment matches your needs.

The procedure involves the following steps:

Step 1: Skin Preparation

• Your skin is prepared several weeks before the procedure through a series of treatments.
• These treatments help increase your skin’s tolerance to professional procedures, reducing the risk of side effects.

Step 2: Application of Anesthetic

• On the day of the procedure, a topical anaesthetic is applied to the targeted area to numb the skin.
• For larger areas, your doctor may recommend a sedative or pain-relief medication to ensure your comfort.

Step 3: Skin Cleaning

• The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove excess oil, dirt, and bacteria, ensuring a clean surface for the treatment.

Step 4: Laser Treatment

• Your dermatologist begins the treatment by carefully moving the selected laser over the designated area of the skin.

Step 5: Post-Treatment Wrapping

• Once the procedure is complete, the treated area is wrapped to protect the skin and aid in the healing process.

• Face: Reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
• Neck: Improves skin texture and reduces signs of ageing like creases or sagging.
• Chest: It addresses sun damage, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
