Skin resurfacing is one of the most versatile skincare treatments available, and can treat all sorts of conditions from acne to wrinkles. If you are considering a MedSpa skincare procedure, skin resurfacing may be a great place to start. Here’s what you need to know about this simple, effective treatment.
What is it?
Skin resurfacing works by gently removing the outermost layer of skin. This process removes any imperfections, including wrinkles, acne, and discoloration, and reveals a healthy new layer of skin. At Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery, we use laser technology for skin resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing allows for incredible precision, and also triggers collagen production in the body. With increased collagen production, the elasticity and texture of the skin will continue to improve after treatment. Each procedure is customized to the patient’s skin type, and the skin is thoroughly cleansed before treatment. A topical anesthetic is applied, and the patient wears protective eyewear for safety and comfort throughout the treatment, which lasts approximately an hour.
Is there downtime?
There is no downtime from skin resurfacing, although the skin may peel and be somewhat sensitive as it heals. During the days following treatment, it is essential to stay protected from the sun and avoid makeup and shaving.
What can it treat?
Skin resurfacing is a versatile treatment that can address a range of skin conditions, including:
- Acne
- Age spots or sun-damaged skin
- Discoloration, scars or uneven skin tone
- Sagging skin
- Wrinkles and lines
Dr. Austin offers the largest variety of laser treatments in the Augusta area ranging from no downtime treatments that achieve impressive results in several treatments to minimal downtime treatments that deliver amazing results in a single treatment.
