Laser skin resurfacing

Overview

Collagen is the key component for skin elasticity and tightness. Laser skin resurfacing (or laser peel, laser vaporization, lasabrasion) targets the deeper layers of the skin to reveal a more refreshed and youthful appearance. It helps in minimizing facial wrinkles, blemishes, and scars. Fractionated pixel laser is the most recent cutting-edge technology in laser application used to improve the texture and appearance of the skin and significantly reversing the visible signs of ageing. The treatment is recommended to treat fine lines, open pores, under eyes dark circles and puffiness, uneven skin tone, acne scars, as well as other keloid and hypertrophic scars and stretch marks. During laser skin resurfacing, a highly concentrated light waves is discharged in a grid pattern to induce fractional photothermolysis, which enhances collagen generation and new skin tissue formation. This helps in replacing damaged skin tissues with healthy new skin The results are both progressive and immediate, and a series of 3-5 sessions are required depending on the indications and desired result.
