Procedure

Laser skin resurfacing — sometimes called a laser peel, lasabrasion, or laser vaporization — is perfect for those who are looking to reduce signs of aging, wrinkles, and fine lines. It works by using heat energy from a laser device to target specific areas on the skin. This encourages collagen production, which helps lift sagging skin, erase wrinkles and reduce age spots or other blemishes.

Laser vs IPL

When considering laser skin resurfacing, it is important to understand the difference between ablative laser and non-ablative IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments. While both are used to reduce signs of aging, laser treatment works by ablating the surface of the skin to provide more targeted resurfacing. Additionally, laser treatment is much more comfortable and requires fewer sessions than IPL, making it a better choice for many people.

Consultation & Preparation

At your initial consultation with Dr. Sam Sukkar, you will discuss your skincare goals and any concerns you have about the procedure. Our staff is here to answer all your questions and ensure you feel comfortable before proceeding with treatment. Before laser skin resurfacing, it’s important to avoid sun exposure as much as possible and discontinue any skin care products that contain retinoids for at least two weeks. Additionally, you should avoid waxing or harsh scrubs for one week prior to the treatment.

Procedure Details

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that typically takes about one hour to complete. Though this time may vary depending on the level of treatment.

There are different levels of Laser Resurfacing. The Laser Resurfacing performed by Dr. Sukkar is done under general anesthesia, is very deep, and generally does not require re-treatment for at least 5 – 10+ years depending on how your skin ages.

Dr. Sukkar will use the laser device to target the damaged areas on your skin. The laser energy is directed onto the targeted area, removing the top layers of damaged skin cells and stimulating collagen production.

Recovery & Results

Recovery time varies from person to person, but you can expect some swelling and redness directly after the procedure.

You may also experience slight itching or tightness in the treatment area. Your skin may be slightly pink for a few days following your session, so it is important to follow your aftercare instructions closely.

It is important to protect your skin from sun exposure and use good sunscreen for at least two weeks post-procedure. You should avoid swimming or direct hot water on the treated area during this time. The results of laser skin resurfacing will become apparent within a few weeks as collagen production increases and new, healthier skin emerges.
