Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing, also called a laser peel or laser facial can reduce wrinkles, scars and pigmentation. Q-switched laser, pico lasers and fractional CO2 laser technologies give your plastic surgeon a new level of control in laser surfacing, permitting extreme precision, especially in delicate areas.

Laser skin resurfacing reduces wrinkles and scars, even out skin coloring, tightens skin and removes lesions. Lasers are beams of light that vaporize the outer layers of your skin and promote the growth of new collagen fibers.

Q-switch laser skin resurfacing

The Q-switched laser skin resurfacing (or picosecond laser)excels in the treatment of unwanted pigmentation or tattoo ink. The laser produces short pulses of energy that pass harmlessly through the skin’s top layers and are selectively absorbed by the abnormal pigment.

The Q-Switched laser is a versatile laser that offers different wavelengths to target a variety of skin conditions including sun spots, age spots, freckles, pigmentation and some birthmarks. An added bonus of this laser is its rejuvenation effect on the skin. The Q-switched laser has been around for many years.

Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing

The fractional CO2 laser resurfacing uses 10600nm wavelength. By using 7-joint laser arms, the laser penetrates the skin’s surface, where water in the skin cells absorbs them. When this happens, the epidermis, or the superficial layer of your skin, is vaporized. The dermis, or middle layer, heats up, stimulating the growth of new collagen fibers.

As the area heals, new firmer, smoother skin replaces the old layers. During a CO2 laser resurfacing, a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can target specific areas of your skin with precision, so the treatment won’t affect the rest of the skin nearby.

While laser skin treatments do work incredibly quickly, they can be slightly irritating during the treatment itself. The pain is minimal and has been compared by patients to a rubber band snapping against your skin. ‘ After a few minutes, your skin becomes used to the pain and you don’t feel it anymore.

For a most people, we suggest 4 to 8 sessions.

On average, patients can expect laser skin resurfacing results to last anywhere from 3-5 years from having the procedure done. It’s possible for patients to extend their results beyond five years.

  • Burns or other injuries from the laser’s heat.
  • Scarring.
  • Changes in the skin’s pigmentation, including areas of darker or lighter skin.
  • Reactivating herpes cold sores.
  • Bacterial infection.

The cost depends on which technology you selected, it ranges from 500 us dollars to 3000 us dollars.

Fractional CO2 laser, Q-switched ND YAG laser, and picosecond laser machines.

To get the best laser skin resurfacing results, we suggest CO2 laser, Q-switch laser and pico laser as the best option.

Fractional CO2 laser use the 10600nm and fractional mode to work on skin resurfacing. The CO2 laser is one of the best method to renew your face.

Q-switched nd yag laser used the 1320nm carbon tip to do the skin resurfacing and wrinkle removal treatments. While the 1064nm tip can works on pigmentation.

Pico laser is short for picosecond laser machine, the pulse width is several picosecond only. It is one of the best choice for laser skin resurfacing.
