Reduce visible wrinkles with non-ablative laser resurfacing
At some point, even the best skin care products available are no match for the skin’s natural aging process. Fine lines, wrinkles, and scars are just some of the problems that can contribute to an aged appearance. Fortunately, at the Skin & Vein Institute in Encinitas, California, we offer laser skin resurfacing to help you stop the clock on aging. With our non-ablative laser treatments, we can help stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is an energy-based treatment that can exfoliate the outer layers of skin or encourage the sub dermal layers of skin to stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration. There are various types of laser skin resurfacing treatments designed to address specific skin concerns. Most individuals who desire anti-aging treatments are good candidates for laser treatment.
How it works
During the treatment, the physician applies a device that emits a small amount of heat and may produce a tingling sensation to the skin. Non-ablative laser treatment heats the skin to stimulate the skin’s fibroblasts to produce collagen to decrease wrinkles and heats the pigment in the brown spots so the body can take it away.
Laser skin resurfacing is not just for lines and wrinkles, it’s also a great treatment approach for the following issues:
- Acne / Acne scarring
- Uneven skin texture
- Age or sun spots
- Uneven pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
Following laser skin resurfacing
After treatment, you may notice that your skin is red or tender. Makeup can be applied to mask any redness. Depending on the laser used, you may feel a sand paper texture to your skin or have little brown dots after your treatment. There is minimal downtime following laser skin treatments, although it’s important to keep your skin properly moisturized and protected from the sun with a quality sunscreen.
Results from laser skin resurfacing will begin to appear over the course of several weeks as your body produces more collagen. With good skin care, the results can last for years.
