Laser skin resurfacing: revitalize skin without major downtime

Laser skin resurfacing is a very popular procedure that is regarded as both a non-invasive and convenient alternative to a facelift, and a more comprehensive and long-lasting upgrade over a microdermabrasion or chemical peel.

It was performed over 430,000 times last year nationwide, and we offer laser skin resurfacing in Newburgh, Indiana at our practice, Advanced Anti-Aging & Weight Loss. We use a laser called the Pixel Perfect, which is a fractional laser that can revitalize skin.

Laser skin resurfacing can reduce sun damage and acne scars, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, correct uneven pigmentation, and refine the appearance of pores. Our Pixel laser creates thousands of microscopic holes, which stimulates the production of new collagen. The collagen helps new skin grow over the holes rapidly, and the new skin creates a fresh look for patients.

Patients who opt for our laser skin resurfacing here in Evansville usually opt for it on the forehead, under the eye area, cheeks, neck, and around the mouth. The treatments usually take less than 30 minutes, and can be performed on all skin types. After the procedure, there’s usually an appearance of a sunburn, which clears up quickly.

The procedure doesn’t require anesthesia, and the refreshing results can last for several months. To maximize results, patients should avoid sun exposure for a couple of weeks, and be sure to use sunblock and shade even after that.

For even better results, some patients are combining laser skin resurfacing with a photo rejuvenation facial (aka IPL) and skin tightening with the Accent laser. The IPL facial focuses on evening out skin color and smoothing out any hyperpigmentation, the Accent tightens loose skin around the eyes and neck, and the Pixel refreshes skin and smoothes fine lines and wrinkles.

About six months to a year later, a quick touch-up procedure is sometimes performed to help prolong the effects of laser skin rejuvenation.
