Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser Skin Resurfacing Glendale, CA

Laser Skin Resurfacing helps to restore a more youthful appearance to your face.

As one of the most exciting and innovative scientific achievements to date, laser technology is being utilized throughout the health care community. Dr. Martin Stepanyan uses one of the newest lasers, the ultra-pulse carbon dioxide laser, to treat sun-damaged skin, facial wrinkles and scars in a procedure called laser skin resurfacing.

What Is A Laser Skin Resurfacing?

The word laser is an acronym which stands for light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation. A surgical laser such as the CO2 laser is a beam of light capable of removing unwanted tissue such as scarred, lined, wrinkled and otherwise imperfect skin. The laser vaporizes skin cells by emitting bursts of radiation that are absorbed by water in these cells. Laser light penetrates to a very precise controlled depth making the procedure safe and predictable while reducing the risk of scarring or pigmentation problems. Laser skin resurfacing is bloodless and is performed in our office under light sedation. As a result of this treatment you are left with more youthful looking skin.

What Areas Can Be Treated Through Laser Resurfacing?

The laser is used to reduce tiny wrinkles, acne scars, and other minor skin imperfections, especially around the mouth and eyes. It can improve sun-damaged and acne-scarred skin problems that often cause concern to both men and women.

Laser skin resurfacing can be used as an alternative to chemical peel and dermabrasion. The benefits of using this technique are less pain and a faster recovery time. In most cases, it is less costly.

How Do I Prepare For Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Prior to surgery, Dr. Stepanyan will discuss the goals for facial improvement. After determining the appropriate procedure, Dr. Stepanyan will fully describe the procedure, what results to expect and the costs. The skin is usually pretreated prior to surgery to improve the healing time.

The Laser Treatment Procedure

A local anesthetic is given to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The area is cleansed and draped. Dr. Stepanyan then directs the laser beam toward your skin imperfections. The laser quickly and accurately vaporizes the outermost layers of skin just four or five cells in thickness.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Results

In most cases, only one laser treatment is needed. The initial redness fades in a few weeks to a light pink, which can be concealed with makeup. The discoloration usually disappears in one or three months. The goal of laser skin resurfacing is to enhance facial appearance. Expectations by the patient must be realistic, and results should be anticipated as improvements rather than total corrections. Results of the laser skin surgery depend on many factors such as the size, shape and location of the imperfection. Other factors include the patients heredity, age and general skin condition.
