Laser Skin Resurfacing
This procedure removes the layer of skin marked by wrinkles, acne scars, or dark pigmentation, to reveal the healthy skin just beneath the surface. As we get older, our skin loses the youthful appearance it once had. Many factors, including sun exposure, smoking, heredity, and other lifestyle factors, effect how quickly our skin ages. Laser resurfacing turns back the hands of time by erasing these telltale signs of aging.
Dr. Gershenbaum will consult with you to decide if laser resurfacing is the best method for your particular skin type. You will discuss overall goals, and exactly what you should expect from treatment.
Laser resurfacing uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove the outermost layer of skin by vaporizing skin cells. This method of resurfacing has become popular because of its incredible precision and short postoperative healing period. After the procedure, your skin may be red and swollen, and sun exposure should be avoided. Contact our practice to discuss your options for laser resurfacing.
