Treatment
Laser skin resurfacing is one of the leading cosmetic procedures in the United States. The process utilizes a laser to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles, as well as improve the overall texture of the skin. Lasers work by emitting a specialized light that passes through the skin and is preferentially absorbed by water in the damaged collagen of your skin. This action allows the laser light to ablate (evaporate) very fine layers of skin, diminishing the look of the wrinkle and other unwanted textures. The older skin is remodeled into newer skin. As new cells form in the healing process, the skin becomes smoother and softer. Your physician will use The Sciton Profile Er: YAG Laser to remove thin layers of your skin's surface, which will be replaced by younger skin growth. Your wrinkles will soften and become less noticeable, some will disappear and pigmented lesions will greatly improve.

Recovery Expectations
Your healing time will depend upon your actual treatment depth and you may experience erythema (redness) which may last several weeks. Healing time does vary among individuals. Your physician can answer questions about temporary changes to your skin appearance and how it may be camouflaged.
