Wrinkles and fine lines are not the end of the world.  While there is no stopping the effect of time, there are some things you can do to at least slow it down a bit.

The Cosmetics Program offers a procedure called laser skin resurfacing for men and women who want facial skin enhancement without the commitment of invasive surgery. Laser resurfacing does just that – smoothes the surface of skin to give you a more evenly toned, seamless facial glow.

Laser resurfacing is performed with a “super-pulsed” carbon dioxide laser to target certain signs of aging and skin imperfections. Using a beam of light energy, your cosmetic surgeon can significantly improve the look and feel of your skin. Essentially, the laser works by destroying the top layer of skin while stimulating the underling dermis to encourage growth of new collagen fibers. The result is firmer, tighter, younger-looking skin. The use of the state-of-the-art laser allows your cosmetic surgeon the ability to target very precise skin areas for predictable results.
Choose laser skin resurfacing to:

• Minimize wrinkles
• Downplay minor creases, wrinkles and fine lines
• Minimize minor skin imperfections
• Minimize the appearance of age spots
• Minimize the appearance of acne scars
• Even out skin tone
• Treat sun damaged skin
• Treat liver spots

For the laser resurfacing procedure, you are placed under local sedation. The laser is aimed at the areas of distress, and the tissue effectively absorbs the intense laser light and becomes altered. Lines lessen or disappear, and wrinkles appear far less obvious.

Laser resurfacing patients will experience mild swelling and discomfort after the procedure, as well as some discoloration. Expect your facial appearance and soreness to improve as the healing process plays out. Make sure you follow your plastic surgeon’s instructions on skin care, paying special attention to sun exposure limitations. Over the next several months, you’ll notice gradual improvements and a fresh, “new skin” feel.

When you are fully healed, you can now enjoy your more youthful,, refined facial appearance!
