Skin Resurfacing
Skin Resurfacing
If you would like to improve the surface and appearance of your skin, reduce fine lines, surface irregularities such as scarring, uneven pigmentation and sun damage, then skin resurfacing may be right for you.
Procedural steps: A variety of lasers and intense pulsed light devices achieve a wide range of benefits.
Chemical solutions of varying types and concentrations are applied to peel the skin surface allowing new skin to form.
Mechanical resurfacing, dermabrasion or dermaplaning, uses a fine abrasive or scalpel to scrape the skin surface to a controlled depth; generally used to improve an irregular surface, such as acne scarring.
Your results: Any flaking or crusting should resolve in 5-10 days. Results may appear in 10-14 days. Skin is most likely pink or flush for 1-6 months.
