What is laser skin resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is an innovative treatment that uses advanced laser technology to resurface and revitalise the skin, revealing a healthier and more radiant complexion. This procedure is highly effective in addressing signs of ageing, sun damage, and discolouration.
Why is laser resurfacing used?
Over time, our skin is subjected to a range of external factors that can cause damage, leading to discolouration, uneven texture, and other visible signs of ageing. Common causes of skin damage include:
- Sun exposure
- Weather conditions
- Physical trauma
- Certain skincare or makeup products
- Chronic dryness
- Environmental pollutants
Laser skin resurfacing is designed to address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Redness
- Rough texture
- Patchiness
- Uneven skin tone
- Brown spots
- Discolouration
- Fine lines and wrinkles
How Laser Skin Resurfacing Works
CO2 Laser Resurfacing: This method uses a precise beam of light to target deeper layers of the skin, removing damaged tissue and stimulating collagen production. It is ideal for addressing fine lines, acne scars, and significant pigmentation concerns.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing: A gentler option, the erbium laser is designed for surface-level skin imperfections. It’s excellent for treating superficial wrinkles, sun damage, and promoting overall skin rejuvenation. With minimal downtime, it’s a popular choice for patients with darker skin tones or those looking for a lighter treatment.
Both methods work by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, prompting natural healing and collagen production for long-lasting, youthful-looking results.
