Dr. Kleto's skill and attention to detail ensure that each patient receives customized care and achieves natural-looking results.
What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is a non-surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of your skin by removing damaged layers and stimulating collagen production. This procedure is an excellent option for those looking to minimize the signs of aging, reduce acne scars, or improve uneven skin tone and texture.
The laser emits precise beams of light onto the skin's surface, eliminating damaged cells and stimulating the growth of fresh, healthy skin. CO2 laser technology, one of the most effective methods in the field, is commonly used for deeper resurfacing, offering significant results for patients looking for dramatic improvements.
The Benefits of Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing provides numerous benefits for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance without undergoing surgery. It is highly effective in diminishing fine lines and deeper wrinkles across the face. Beyond wrinkle reduction, this treatment can also target a variety of skin imperfections, offering a flexible solution to address multiple cosmetic issues.
Key benefits include:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles: Laser treatments smooth the skin's surface, minimizing shallow and deeper wrinkles.
- Improvement in skin tone and texture: Sun damage, pigmentation issues, and age spots are significantly reduced, leaving the skin with a more even, radiant complexion.
- Scar treatment: Laser resurfacing is especially effective at minimizing the appearance of acne scars and various other types of scars.
- Removal of skin imperfections: This procedure can eliminate or reduce the visibility of skin lesions, precancerous growths, and other imperfections, creating a clear and healthy aesthetic.
- Minimally invasive: Laser skin resurfacing doesn't require surgery, offering a solution with minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures.
- Long-lasting results: The effects of laser resurfacing can last for several years, especially when complemented with a good skincare routine.
By carefully removing skin damage layer by layer, Dr. Kleto can use laser resurfacing to correct cosmetic blemishes and provide you with a clear, smooth, youthful look. Whether you're targeting wrinkles, scars, or sun damage, this treatment delivers visible, long-lasting improvements.
How Laser Resurfacing Works
CO2 laser skin resurfacing works by using light beams that are pulsed or scattered at a very high rate. Because lasers are so precise, Dr. Kleto can target specific areas of your face without impacting surrounding tissue. The pulsing or scattered light minimizes heat damage to your skin while effectively removing damaged layers. This, in turn, prompts your body's natural healing response, causing it to produce smooth, youthful looking skin.
To be effective, skin resurfacing requires your body to produce new skin. This process can take up to two weeks, during which you may experience symptoms similar to a mild sunburn. This discomfort can be dealt with by using skin care creams and avoiding direct sunlight. This temporary discomfort will fade, revealing a naturally youthful appearance that can last for several years.
