Laser Skin Resurfacing

Individuals with concerns such as wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin texture may be good candidates. A consultation with a qualified professional can assess suitability based on individual skin characteristics and goals.

Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to improve skin texture and appearance. The laser emits targeted energy to remove damaged skin layers, stimulate collagen production and promote skin rejuvenation.

Your provider uses a fractional laser from the company that invented and patented micro-fractional laser technology. Fractional skin resurfacing uses laser energy microbeams to create areas of affected tissue that extend through the epidermis into the dermis. The body’s natural healing process creates new, healthy tissue to replace the areas of affected tissue, resulting in healthier, younger-looking skin.

Most treatments last no more than an hour. Depending on the condition being treated, your provider may recommend a single treatment session or a series of progressive treatments for your best results.

Downtime varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. Some procedures may have minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume regular activities relatively quickly, while more intense treatments may require longer recovery periods.

Usually, you may resume your regular activities the same day following some treatments; more aggressive procedures may require several days of healing. Ask your provider about what you can expect from your treatment.

While discomfort levels vary, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Topical anaesthesia or local anaesthesia may be used to minimise any potential discomfort.

Depending on the options your provider selects, most people feel minimal discomfort during and after the treatment. In some cases, your provider may recommend mild pain management options during the procedure and/or for a few days following the treatment.

Appearance of hair growth or stubble may continue for 7 to 30 days after treatment. This is not new hair growth, but treated hairs being expelled from the skin.

Depending on the treatment option your provider recommends, you can expect to experience a temporary redness, warmth and swelling at the treatment site, which typically lasts only a few days. In other cases, some post- care wound management may be necessary for a few days following treatment. Your provider will discuss potential side effects and your post-treatment expectations with you based on the type of treatment you’ll receive.
