With the passage of time, our skin undergoes many changes. Skin which was soft, of smooth texture, and free of blemishes in youth, often becomes redundant, rough, wrinkled or discolored as we get older. Dryness, acne, ultraviolet radiation from the sun, and other environmental factors all play a role in the unwanted changes. Fortunately, modern medicine has developed an option for the rejuvenation of aged skin.
Laser skin resurfacing, with the CO2 or Erbium laser, is a relatively new technology, which can successfully remodel the surface layers of the skin and simultaneously remove areas which are sun damaged, wrinkled, pigmented and scarred. These lasers are far more precise and are safer than previously used skin rejuvenation treatments. With the laser, a controlled depth of skin removal can be achieved allowing the physician to attain the desired result without penetrating too deeply. Deeper penetration with the laser is the primary factor that causes complications. As a result of this precision and control, laser skin resurfacing has become the preferred method of skin rejuvenation. A Combination of CO2 and Erbium modalities can be combined to allow the best results.
