Useful Facts About Total Laser Resurfacing

By Amy Davis


For those that are considering skin resurfacing, it is important that the preferred treatment center is able to meet your specific needs. Over the last few years, total laser resurfacing has become very popular. One of the main reasons why it is one of the most preferred procedures is because depending on type procedure, downtime and recovery period is much shorter. This is as compared to other procedures.

The first thing that one will need to do is find a clinic within the locality. They can be located using local directory listings. The moment you have a short list of clinics around the area, it would be important to set up an initial consultation with some of them. This will offer the chance to meet the doctor who is supposed to perform the procedure. It will also be the ideal time to ask any questions regarding the procedure, including any doubts and worries.

What this procedure will cost will also need to be considered. Generally however, it is a costly procedure. The advancement of technology that is to be used and the qualifications of the doctor are factors that determine the cost of services. Doctors who are more qualified will charge more for their services. For one to get the best deals, you should make comparisons with various clinics. At the end of the day however, quality should be considered as more important than costs.

It is important to know who the best candidates for the procedure are. The candidates fall within two groups. The first are those looking at it as an anti-aging aid while the second are those looking to remove blemishes and scars from accidents or acne. Most of the candidates in the first category in most cases combine resurfacing with face lift and neck lift. This is so that they get total anti-aging.

People who look to get rid of scars go for the procedure to remove effects of acne. Because acne treatment is done for some time, it is able to restore skin tone completely and bring back its smoothness. One type of scarring that cannot be eradicated by the procedure is ice pick scarring. This is because this procedure is not done beyond the first few top layers of skin.

In the course of recovery, the lotions that were recommended by the doctor should be applied as prescribed. Besides that, sterile dressings should be kept clean and also changed every once in a while. No matter how properly the after care is done, complications are still likely to be experienced time and again. During the healing, there should be no smoking. Even secondary smoking would be harmful.

It is not uncommon to experience blotches after treatment. Fortunately, these can be removed easily by the dermatologist later on using bleaching agents. This will usually be the case with people that have darker skin tones. It is possible that there may be swelling of the area.

Swelling of the treatment areas can be sorted by sleeping with the head elevated, with no more than an extra pillow. One should also expect to experience red skin that looks like sunburn. Any serious side effects should be reported to the doctor.
