Laser skin resurfacing successfully treats sun-damaged skin, facial wrinkles and scars.

For cosmetic procedures, specially designed lasers produce a beam of light capable of removing unwanted tissue, such as scarred, lined, wrinkled, and otherwise imperfect skin. The laser vaporizes skin cells by emitting bursts of radiation that are absorbed by water in these cells. Laser light penetrates to a very precise, controlled depth, making the procedure safe and predictable, while reducing the risk of scarring or pigmentation problems. Laser skin resurfacing is bloodless and it is performed under light sedation.  As a result, Laser skin resurfacing, leaves the skin smoother and more natural looking.

Lasers also may used to reduce tiny wrinkles, acne scars and other minor skin imperfections, especially around the mouth and eyes. Laser treatments also can improve sun-damaged and acne scarred skin.

The benefits of laser treatments are less pain during the procedure and a faster recovery time.

Depending on the goals of the procedure and the laser used, most cases require only one treatment. The initial redness fades in a few weeks to a light pink, which can be concealed with makeup. The pink discoloration usually disappears in one or three months but in rare cases can last longer.
