Best Candidates for Laser Resurfacing
The best candidate for laser resurfacing is someone who:
- Has fine lines, wrinkles, scars, or sun-damaged skin.
- Seeks to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
- Is in good overall health and has realistic expectations about results.
- Has lighter skin tones, as individuals with darker skin may have a higher risk of pigmentation changes.
- Is free of active skin infections, acne, or certain medical conditions that may interfere with healing.
A consultation with Dr. Digenis is essential to assess skin type, concerns, and suitability for treatment.
The Procedure
Laser resurfacing is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to improve the skin’s texture and appearance. It works by removing damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Laser resurfacing is commonly used to treat wrinkles, scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Downtime varies depending on the intensity of the treatment, with results becoming noticeable as the skin heals and regenerates.
Dr. Digenis utilizes the power and precision of the Lumenis CO₂ UltraPulse Encore Laser because of its customizable settings. It allows him to adjust the depth, intensity, and coverage of treatment based on individual skin concerns, such as fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, or pigmentation. This flexibility ensures treatments can be tailored to each patient’s needs, delivering optimal results while managing downtime.
What to Expect from Recovery
Recovery from laser resurfacing typically involves redness, swelling, and peeling for about 5 to 10 days, depending on the treatment depth. Full healing and final results, including smoother, rejuvenated skin, can take several weeks, with sun protection and proper skincare being essential during this time.
