Laser Resurfacing for the Face and Neck

Many people realize that exercising and eating healthy are important factors when it comes to their appearance. But even with plenty of exercise and a healthy diet, sometimes your skin just doesn’t cooperate. Many individuals end up with scarring from acne, dark spots, and even random patches of dry skin that just won’t go away. Everyone has skin problems at some point during their life, but that doesn’t mean you have to deal with them forever. Laser Resurfacing is a skin rejuvenation treatment that will leave you with smoother more evenly toned skin. If you’re tired of trying to hide any minor skin imperfections you may have, contact a plastic surgeon in your area to find out if you are a good candidate for laser resurfacing.

What To Expect

Before you move forward with laser resurfacing you’ll need to attend a consult with a plastic surgeon. During the consult you will discuss several aspects of the laser resurfacing procedure such as desired results, price, and if laser resurfacing is really the right procedure for you. There are many other skin rejuvenation procedures to choose from, and if laser resurfacing just isn’t an option your surgeon will suggest other procedures that will still allow you to achieve your desired result.

During the procedure your surgeon will use a handheld carbon dioxide laser to remove damaged layers of skin. Laser resurfacing is usually administered to the face and neck, and you can be sure that the procedure is safe for these delicate areas of your body. The laser’s strength is easily adjusted for your individual needs, so skin damage and other complications are unlikely.

After your laser resurfacing procedure, the treated area will likely be red or enflamed. Your surgeon will give you a cream or ointment to help the skin heal, and full results will be seen after a couple of weeks. The new skin that is revealed after your laser resurfacing procedure will be very sensitive, and you should be sure to apply sun block or a facial moisturizer with a high SPF for the next few months whenever you go out.
