Frequently Asked Questions

Laser resurfacing, sometimes referred to as skin resurfacing, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve skin texture and appearance. Using concentrated beams of light, the treatment precisely removes damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting new skin cell growth. The process effectively targets skin imperfections, from sun damage to deep wrinkles, revealing rejuvenated and smoother skin.

The experience of laser skin resurfacing can vary among individuals. Some describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. While laser treatments, especially ablative laser resurfacing, might cause some discomfort, practitioners often apply a numbing cream to the face beforehand. Fractional laser treatments, which target specific skin zones without affecting the entire face, might offer a milder experience.

Laser resurfacing treatments, when performed correctly, are designed to improve skin texture and tone. However, there’s a risk, especially with darker skin tones or when proper post-care isn’t followed, of hyperpigmentation or scarring. It’s crucial to choose a skilled practitioner familiar with CO2 laser resurfacing and other techniques to minimise potential complications.

The recovery time post-laser resurfacing treatment varies based on the procedure type. Ablative laser treatments, like CO2 laser resurfacing, involve removing layers of skin tissue and can require up to 2 weeks for healing. On the other hand, non-ablative or fractional lasers promote skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, often just a few days. It’s essential to follow post-care recommendations closely for optimal results.

Yes, various laser resurfacing procedures cater to different skin needs. Ablative lasers, such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, work by vaporising the skin’s outer layers, making them ideal for treating deeper wrinkles, benign skin growths, and sun-damaged skin. Fractional laser resurfacing, on the other hand, treats microscopic skin zones, leaving surrounding areas untouched. This technique is ideal for acne scars and skin tone improvement.

The frequency of laser resurfacing procedures largely depends on the specific treatment and individual skin goals. Ablative laser treatments, like carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, offer dramatic results that can last for years, meaning fewer sessions are needed. However, milder fractional laser treatments might require periodic sessions to maintain skin rejuvenation and address skin imperfections.
