Laser Skin Resurfacing

In 1964 an exciting step was taken in skin rejuvenation. The carbon dioxide laser became available for treating skin damage, acne scars, and the wrinkles and discolorations of aging and sun exposure. It very quickly became popular with dermatologists. One of the problems in the early days of laser skin treatments was the high rate of scar formation. But modern procedures have all but eliminated this risk, after the fruitful testing and experimenting of the past 40 or so years.

Now we have many choices for improving our skin. Laser resurfacing can:


1. Tighten and smooth the eyelid skin
2. Reduce crow’s feet
3. Reduce and flatten scars
4. Reduce or remove keloid and hypertrophic scars (raised and red scars)
5. Smooth frown lines and fine wrinkles on the cheeks and upper lip
6. Remove warts and skin cancers
7. Remove vascular lesions such as hemangiomas (little benign tumors made of blood vessels) and capillary malformations (e.g., port wine stains)
8. Remove pigmented lesions such as freckles and birthmarks
9. Treat rhinophyma (enlarged oil glands on the nose)

Laser resurfacing is also known as lasabrasion, laser vaporization, and laser peel. It can make you look ten or even twenty years younger, and last for about ten years. We continue to age, but laser skin resurfacing can certainly set the clock back effectively.
