Look Younger with Laser Skin Peel
Posted by Guest on Oct 10, 2008 in Anti-Aging • No commentsDermatologists can reduce skin discoloration and other signs of aging by removing the outer layer of the skin with laser resurfacing.
Fine lines and wrinkles can be removed or reduced. Even scars can be faded until they are barely noticeable or can be hidden with a light foundation.
In addition to the improvement in colors and marks on the skin, laser resurfacing also tightens the skin. This has the effect of a mild face lift resulting in a more youthful appearance.
The tightening of the skin from laser skin resurfacing will usually persist for several months following the initial treatment. However, the results do vary between individuals, and some benefit more than others.
One very positive benefit is that the laser procedure also stimulates the formation of replacement your own collagen, which aids the upper layers of your skin to remain firmer and stay youthful in appearance as a result.
Laser skin peel treatment requires specific techniques applicable for the various skin tones, so this type of therapy is best entrusted to a qualified dermatologist.
There are two types of lasers usually employed and the dermatologist must select the more appropriate for your skin. In some situations they may even use both varieties to treat various degrees of scarring.
A word of caution for those with darker complexions – laser therapy can cause scarring to certain dark complexioned patients, so a competent professional is essential to be sure no damage is caused by the procedure.
The skin is the natural protection against infection, so peeling the upper layers does add some risk of infection. Precautionary medication is used to reduce risk of complications. People with sensitive skin may find recovery takes longer and infection more likely.
There is always the possibility of complications with this type of treatment, but the risk is minimal and manageable by competent qualified professionals. Performed correctly, the results can be very good and “turn back the clock” with rejuvenated skin and more youthful looks.
