Laser Skin Resurfacing

Lasers are used to resurface facial skin faster and with more precise depth control than traditional methods of skin resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing, also called a "laser peel," is performed at Hedden Plastic Surgery to address wrinkles and lines on the face, skin damaged by sun exposure, age spots, acne scars and other skin conditions. The majority of laser skin resurfacing patients successfully realize a smoother complexion and younger-looking skin, usually with just one treatment.

During laser skin resurfacing, the pulsing laser light penetrates the skin at the depth determined by your doctor and vaporizes the damaged skin cells. The treated skin peels in about 1 week to reveal new, fresh skin with a more youthful tone and texture. Patients who undergo any type of skin resurfacing must carefully keep their skin moisturized and protected from the sun after treatment.
