What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is an aesthetic application that uses laser technology to reshape the surface of people’s skin. laser resurfacing face  is performed to reduce skin imperfections, improve the appearance of the skin and rejuvenate the skin. Since laser skin resurfacing  application is a special procedure and may require a healing process, it should be performed by a specialist doctor. laser skin resurfacing  is performed by the following methods:

Ablative laser: This type of laser removes the thin outer layer of a person’s skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis) stimulating the growth of collagen, a protein that improves skin texture. After the epidermis heals and regrows, the treated area looks much smoother and tighter than before. Ablative laser treatment for face types include fractional laser, thulium laser, erbium laser and combination systems.

Non-ablative laser or light source: This approach also stimulates collagen growth. It is a less aggressive approach than ablative laser and has a shorter recovery time. But the results are less noticeable. Types include pulsed dye laser, erbium (Er:YAG) and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment.

In every treatment method, fractional laser application can be made throughout the treatment area. This is because a fractional laser shortens the recovery time and reduces the risk of side effects. With laser skin resurfacing, the appearance of fine lines on the face of patients is reduced and with it, it treats skin tone loss. It should be noted that sagging skin cannot be removed by laser skin resurfacing .

How is skin resurfacing treatment applied?

The doctor can perform laser skin resurfacing by performing an outpatient procedure on the patient. First of all, the patient’s skin is anesthetized with the drug. You can be sedated in our clinic for comprehensive skin rejuvenation procedures, such as applying to your entire face.

While skin resurfacing treatment is performed with ablative laser, an intense beam of light energy (laser) is directed to the patient’s skin. The laser beam destroys the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). And then the laser heats the underlying skin (dermis). In this way, collagen production is stimulated and better skin tone and texture are formed.

Ablative laser skin resurfacing can take approximately 30 minutes to 120 minutes, depending on the technique used by the doctor and the size of the treated area. With this application, only one treatment is done.

Non-ablative laser treatment or laser resurfacing treatment with fractional Er:YAG laser can last for long weeks or months. To achieve effective results, the patient will likely need at least 3 treatments, 1 scheduled over weeks or months.
