ABLATIVE RESURFACING

ABLATIVE SKIN RESURFACING IS USED TO TREAT:

• vertical lip lines
• lower eyelid lines
• crows feet
• facial wrinkles
• acne scarring
• removal of a variety of benign and facial lesions
• precancerous lesions of the lower lip

Ablative skin resurfacing generally offers greater wrinkle and scar reduction than non-ablative techniques. However, there is significant more recovery time with ablative treatments than with non-ablative methods.There is a wound which requires healing. Generally make-up can be applied about 1 week after treatment. Redness usually persists a few weeks.

Conditions treatable with this laser include facial wrinkles, acne scarring, precancerous lesions of the face and lips, and certain facial growths.

Today skin resurfacing is now possible with the Erbium:YAG laser at a level of precision unmatched by past lasers. Treatment with the Erbium:YAG laser is much less painful and allows for quicker healing than resurfacing with the CO2 laser. Conditions treatable with this laser include facial wrinkles, acne scarring, precancerous lesions of the face and lips, and certain facial growths. Laser peels can also be done.
