Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that is used to remove unwanted skin conditions that develop such as scars, blemishes or even the ordinary face wrinkles
Laser skin resurfacing applies to individuals who have wrinkles on regions around their eyes or the forehead. Additionally, if you have tried other methods of wrinkle removal and they have failed, it is advisable to go for laser resurfacing.
Persons with dark skins, stretch marks, or active acnes are also discouraged from attending the laser resurfacing procedure.
Two different methods are mostly used during laser skin resurfacing. These are carbon dioxide (Co2) skin resurfacing and erbium. Either method is useful since they remove the damaged skin cells from the epidermis.
The first important step before initializing a laser skin resurface is to seek the opinion of a qualified dermatologist so as to find whether you are fit for the procedure. The doctor will consider several aspects such as your historical and current health status as well as your preferred outcome.
After approval by the physician, consumption of substances that cause blood clottings such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E supplements is to be avoided. If you are a smoker, you will have to quit the habit for two weeks prior and after undertaking the procedure. Smoking prolongs the healing period.
Prior prescriptions are administered to reduce chances of bacterial infections, cold sores, and fever blisters.
Laser skin resurfacing is an outpatient procedure. For small regions, the doctor may numb them using a local anesthesia and then sedate you. This process may take roughly 45 minutes at most. For resurfacing of the entire face, general anesthesia is used, and the entire procedure takes approximately two hours.
After a successful laser skin procedure, the areas are covered with a bandage. Regular cleaning of the treated regions is recommended at least four times in a day. So as to prevent the formation of scabs, you can apply petroleum jelly on these treated surfaces.
Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.
