This treatment can help with many things, such as scars, facial wrinkles and blemishes. This technology has come a long way and now doctors have a lot more control over what the laser does, allowing for extreme precision.<\/p>\n<h4>What Can Laser Skin Resurfacing Treat?<\/h4>\n<p>This treatment is generally used on facial flaws that are more minor in nature. It may be used to improve the following skin flaws:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wrinkles and fine lines around the forehead, mouth and under the eyes.<\/li>\n<li>Skin that is not responsive after a facelift.<\/li>\n<li>Liver spots.<\/li>\n<li>Warts.<\/li>\n<li>Enlarged pores on the nose.<\/li>\n<li>Scars from chickenpox or acne.<\/li>\n<li>Sun-damaged or aged skin.<\/li>\n<li>Grayish or yellowish coloring if your complexion.<\/li>\n<li>Linear epidermal nevi and other birthmarks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?<\/h4>\n<p>Beams of light are responsible for correcting minor skin flaws during laser skin resurfacing. The laser will send pulsating beams of light that are short and concentrated to your problem areas. This helps to remove skin that is damaged and unwanted one layer at a time in a very precise manner.<\/p>\n<p>This treatment uses a targeted approach so this helps to prevent side effects like lightening of the skin or hyperpigmentation. Both of these are possible with lasers, but are not often seen now that the technology of lasers have improved.<\/p>\n<p>Your epidermis \u2013 or outer layer of skin \u2013 is removed during laser skin resurfacing. The dermis \u2013 or the second layer of skin right under the epidermis \u2013 is simultaneously heated and this promotes the growth of new collagen fibers. New skin forms as the treated area heals, revealing skin that is firmer and smoother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laser skin resurfacing is becoming more and more popular and it may also be referred to as laser vaporization, laser peeling and lasabrasion.
