If you are worried about skin aging then laser skin resurfacing can be the option that can help you to get rid of those fine lines and wrinkles.

Laser skin resurfacing has taken a large step forward with the introduction in recent years of "fractionated" technology. Fractionated lasers simply take the laser beam and narrow the spot size, treating smaller areas of skin with each pulse of the laser. These lasers generally use a pattern generator to rapidly create many of these tiny pulses on the skin, leaving small gaps or untreated spots in between. It is these small gaps as well as the random pattern of laying down the pulses that allow for more cooling of the skin and less damage to surrounding tissues. This decreases the healing time and subsequent downtime for patients, as well as reducing their exposure to risk factors such as scarring, color changes, infection, etc.Our practice performs fractionated laser skin resurfacing with the Lumenis Ultrapulse laser, also known as Active FX. Active FX treatments generally involve treatment with a pulse density of 1 to 4 and frequency of pulses of 100 to 300 milihertz. Anything above that becomes more of a "max fx" treatment. Patients generally recover in 3 to 7 days from an Active Fx treatment and one to two weeks from a Max FX treatment.

Laser skin resurfacing is a specialized technique, which can be done on an outpatient basis. If only a small part of the skin on the face has to be resurfaced then it may take just about half an hour. This is if only wrinkles around the eyes, or wrinkles around the mouth or some specific area has to be treated. If the whole face has to be treated it may take about an hour and a half. Older people may need resurfacing on the whole face while the younger ones may want just some areas to be resurfaced.Have you ever wished you could have clearer, smoother skin? Laser skin resurfacing can be an excellent way of getting the skin you have always desired. It can provide help with diminishing the look of acne scars as well as softening the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
