Reduce Facial wrinkles
Laser resurfacing is a
relatively new treatment for reducing facial
wrinkles and skin irregularities, such as blemishes
or acne scars.
The technique directs short, concentrated pulsating
beams of light at irregular skin. Laser skin
resurfacing removes skin very precisely, layer by
layer, resulting in fewer problems with hypo
pigmentation (lightening of skin). This popular
procedure is known by several other names, including
laserbrasion, laser peel or laser vaporization.
Erbium laser resurfacing is designed to remove
superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles
on the face hands, neck, or chest. One of the
benefits of erbium laser resurfacing is minimal
burning of surrounding tissue. This laser causes
minimal side effects, such as swelling, bruising and
redness, so your recovery time will be more rapid
than with CO2 laser resurfacing - one week in most
cases.
If you have a darker skin tone, erbium laser
resurfacing may work better for you. Dr. Riggins
will determine which laser is best for you after he
or she fully evaluates your medical history, current
physical condition, and desired results. For more
information about unwanted facial hair, skincare
problems and anti-aging skincare treatments contact
