As people grow older their skin ages, with lines and wrinkles forming on the face. Many individuals do not welcome these signs of getting older and seek ways to minimize them. A total laser resurfacing treatment is one approach that offers patients a younger-looking, rejuvenated complexion. It can be done with very little discomfort and heals more quickly than many other methods. Cincinnati Ohio clients who are considering this treatment should first learn all that's involved in it.
Various types of lasers can be used to perform this procedure, but the Erbium laser is the one which gives the best results. As the epidermis, the skin's surface layer is ablated, a new, healthy layer is revealed. Also collagen is produced which lends itself to firmer, tighter skin. The depth and location of the treatment depends on the patient's individual concerns.
Typically the best candidates for this procedure are people who wish to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the face, hands, chest, neck, or back. The clinician will explain in detail to the patient what he or she can expect and in most cases the results are quite pleasing with a noticeable improvement in one's complexion.
Approved by the FDA, laser resurfacing is considered a safe procedure. Side effects related to it are rare and it heals in a considerably shorter time than many other methods which promise similar results. The skin will be tender afterwards, reddened, a bit swollen and eventually crusted where it was treated, but this will fade quickly.
The results obtained from an Erbium laser treatment are much more dramatic than those one can expect from either microdermabrasion or a micro laser peel. What's even better is that many patients only need one application to get these results, this is because it can more deeply reach into the tissues of the epidermis than other techniques.
One treatment is all that's needed in most cases for patients to experience smoother, firmer skin. Sometimes a patient may benefit from additional treatments. The clinician will advise as to how many applications will yield the best possible outcome since each patient is a unique individual with different issues.
Because there is little pain from this procedure, it not usually necessary to administer an anesthetic, although a topical may be applied, and if the patient feels anxious, sedation may be given. The site will not need to be bandaged, but it will require a special care regimen involving the use of prescribed skincare products that will be given to the patient, namely a cleanser, barrier and emollient creams, and a sun block.
Healing times can vary from one patient to another, depending both on how deep the treatment was and the type of skin. It usually takes about three to seven days for most patients to be more or less full recovered. Scheduling the procedure for the end of the work week is recommended so the skin will be healed come the following Monday. Any residual redness is easily camouflaged with mineral-based makeup.
