What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic medical procedure that improves the skin’s appearance and texture by using focused laser energy. It works by removing the outer layers of damaged skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production, including in the deeper layers. It clears imperfections and promotes the growth of healthy skin, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance.
NOUVADerm provides several levels of laser resurfacing techniques to address a range of skin concerns.
Ablative Lasers
such as CO2 and Erbium lasers, remove the skin’s outer layer, also known as the epidermis, while also heating the underlying dermis. It triggers collagen remodeling and results in a firmer, more youthful look. Ablative lasers can treat deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and significant sun damage.
Non-Ablative Lasers
are fractional lasers that target deeper layers of the skin without damaging its surface, which causes less downtime and fewer side effects. Non-ablative treatments improve mild to moderate wrinkles, loose/saggy skin, and uneven pigmentation.
Fractional Lasers
combine ablative and non-ablative techniques. They create micro-injuries in the skin while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. It allows for quicker recovery times while effectively addressing skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
It’s essential to consult with our skincare professionals to determine the best approach for your unique skin type and concerns.
Am I a Good Candidate?
A wide range of people can benefit from laser skin resurfacing, such as NOUVADerm. Its flexibility in improving many skin surface concerns makes it a popular choice because of the excellent results it produces.
Candidates for laser resurfacing should be in good health and have realistic expectations. They must understand that while the treatment offers substantial improvement, skincare maintenance is necessary to sustain the results. Anyone with an active skin infection, autoimmune disorder, or who is pregnant may not be a suitable candidate.
