What is skin resurfacing?

The most significant improvements to rejuvenate aging skin is achieved with a custom ablative laser treatment. This procedure involves applying light energy to the skin to remove the damaged upper layer of skin cells and trigger natural skin renewal. The procedure removes the thin, upper layer of skin, while heating the lower layer, stimulating skin regeneration. This type of skin resurfacing technique is the most effective way to rejuvenate skin that reveals the signs of aging.

  • Fine or moderate facial wrinkles
  • Age spots, sun spots
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Sun-damaged skin

Benefits of skin resurfacing – imagine a fresh, new you.

Young, resilient, supple skin is beautiful to behold. Unfortunately, sun exposure, lifestyle, and how time impacts the skin can leave you with wrinkles, lines, sun spots, age spots, and dull, lifeless skin. Ablative laser skin resurfacing is the most comprehensive skin rejuvenation procedure available today. This treatment can leave you looking years younger, with a glowing, youthful complexion, with the facial skin smoother, evenly toned, and significantly refreshed.

What is the recovery time?

After an ablative laser skin resurfacing treatment, your face will be protected with ointment and bandages for several days. It will look and feel as if you have a very bad sunburn. To speed healing, follow all Dr. Afrooz’s instructions, and do not touch your face, to avoid the transfer of bacteria. You will need patience to enjoy the full results of your treatment – which are truly remarkable. You can expect some burning, itching, tingling or minor pain during your recovery. 

Take pain medication when needed and apply ice packs as directed by Dr. Afrooz.  Use your time to rest and recover and take all medications as prescribed. Avoid vigorous motions or activities but use your body by taking gentle daily walks. Avoid all sun exposure during healing. You can expect a two to four week period of healing, but the end result is exceptionally rewarding – it is a whole new you, looking fresh and youthful, with smooth, evenly-toned skin.
