The skin plays a vital role in maintaining a youthful look, but over time, environmental factors and aging can lead to wrinkles and sagging. Laser resurfacing at Stein Plastic Surgery offers a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate your skin at the cellular level. Learn more about laser resurfacing as an option for aesthetic enhancement.
What is Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing addresses concerns like scarring, wrinkles, and skin texture. It boosts collagen production and enhances skin tone and texture. Dr. Stein specializes in the MicroLaserPeel® to deliver effective, natural-looking results.
What Can Laser Resurfacing Treat?
Sun exposure, pollution, and the natural aging process can damage your skin. Laser resurfacing can treat a range of conditions, including:
- Acne scars
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the mouth and eyes
- Age spots
- Warts
- Birthmarks
Dr. Stein customizes each laser resurfacing treatment to target your unique skin needs.
How Does Laser Resurfacing Work?
The MicroLaserPeel® sends laser energy to a customizable depth, removing the outer damaged layer of skin. This clears the skin’s surface and stimulates collagen production for long-lasting rejuvenation. Full results can be seen within six months, as new skin replaces damaged cells.
Laser Resurfacing Treatment
Laser resurfacing is an outpatient procedure. Depending on your treatment depth, Dr. Stein may apply a topical anesthetic or oral sedative. The laser is set to the appropriate depth, and Dr. Stein moves the device over your skin to remove damaged cells and boost collagen.
This procedure, known as the “Weekend Skin Peel,” has a quick recovery time of 3-4 days. Mild redness may occur but can be covered with makeup, and results continue to improve for up to six months, lasting years in some cases.
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing is suitable for all ages but may be especially beneficial for fairer skin tones. It is ideal for addressing acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and age spots. However, it may not be suitable for active acne or stretch marks. A consultation with Dr. Stein will determine if laser resurfacing meets your needs.
