Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive way to remove spots and blemishes from your skin and reverse signs of aging.
Acne scars, red spots, wrinkles, discolorations… we all have imperfections we wish we could remove. Our skin suffers a lot over the years, whether from sun damage, environmental pollutants, or just the natural sign of aging. These blemishes and scars don’t need to be permanent though! With laser skin resurfacing, you can reverse these effects and feel younger than ever.
Remove Blemishes and Scars with Laser Skin Resurfacing
As much as we might wish, scars cannot be reversed with creams or ointments alone. Dark spots can fade with the right topical treatment, but it can take months of applications to see any change. Resurfacing, however, is a fast and safe way to see noticeable changes in your skin. A Huffington Post article about skincare mentioned how laser treatments are a great way to ensure results.
Skin resurfacing lasers work because they get beneath the surface without leaving behind permanent changes to the body. By directing beams of light at a blemish or scar, layers of skin can be removed at the surface level, leaving behind clean skin beneath. In a single afternoon, you can watch the blemishes that come with skin damage disappear in a flash.
Reverse the Signs of Aging
There are several reasons people avoid injectables like Botox. Some of the chemicals in Botox and other treatments can induce allergic reactions, and many people worry about more permanent effects. This is where laser skin resurfacing should be embraced as a great alternative!
By selectively removing layers of your skin, you can smoothen wrinkles away and peel back the signs of aging. Plus, resurfacing stimulates blood flow beneath the skin. This increases the production of collagen in the skin, causing a more youthful appearance and leaving behind healthier skin.
Recover from Laser Skin Resurfacing in No Time
The downtime following laser skin resurfacing is remarkably short, with minimal redness and swelling following treatment. Seeing the positive effects of skin resurfacing takes a bit more time. But within a few weeks, you’ll notice your skin seems tighter and less wrinkly. Proper skincare after a laser treatment is necessary, and you will need to stay out of concentrated sun exposure.
Like any procedure, there are potential reactions from laser skin resurfacing. Redness, hyperpigmentation, reemergence of cold sores and other side effects are all possible. Furthermore, you’ll want to keep the skin protected for a few days after treatment to prevent infection. A trained medical esthetician will provide specific skincare instructions to you, and make sure whoever is performing your treatment knows if you have pre-existing health conditions.
