Can you tell me about laser skin resurfacing?
A professional laser dermatologist in San Francisco can help you reduce the appearance of imperfections on the surface of your skin through cosmetic laser skin resurfacing. During this procedure, the molecular bonds between the damaged skin cells are dissolved layer by layer till the desired skin texture and appearance is achieved. Since the procedure entails anti-aging benefits, it is also commonly referred to as laser skin rejuvenation or laser peel since the treatment peels away the damaged skin layers.
Who are the best candidates for this procedure?
This laser procedure is most effective on those who suffer from superficial facial scars, uneven pigmentation, wrinkles or fine lines. The best candidates are those who have non-oily and elastic skin. It is also important that your skin does not scar easily after a minor injury. Further, if you have very dark skin tone, this procedure may not be suitable for you.
What happens during a laser hair removal treatment?
Prior to the laser treatment, the area of treatment has to be shaved. On the day of the treatment, an anesthetic cream may be applied or, depending on the type of laser that is administered, a cool laser tip, gel or spray may be used to make you feel more comfortable. The laser dermatologist in San Francisco will then adjust the laser based on a comprehensive and quick evaluation and use it on various test spots. It will be adjusted for pulse frequency, size and power to optimize the treatment to ensure maximum comfort. A hand-held laser is used to focus the laser energy on the hair follicles. You will require further rounds of treatments four to six weeks after the initial procedure and these treatments will continue till the hair growth has been eliminated. After multiple rounds of treatment, you will enjoy 80 to 90 per cent reduction in hair growth. However, you may need occasional touch-up sessions.
