Glenoaks Laser Center Laser Skin Rejuvenation FAQ's
How does laser skin rejuvenation work?
Collagen provides the support network to our skin. As we age, the collagen breaks
down causing lines and wrinkles. The laser works by stimulating collagen production.
As the new collagen is generated, lines and wrinkles are decreased. Additionally,
years of sun exposure can cause discoloration, large pores, and pigmented or red
areas on the skin. Patients report, and studies have confi rmed, that this procedure
results in a refreshed appearance, smoother skin texture, an even skin tone, and
a decrease in pore size. Those with diffi cult acne scarring will also notice a
marked improvement.
Why should I choose this procedure?
Because the action of laser skin rejuvenation is non-ablative (does not remove any
skin) there are many benefi ts over other traditional laser procedures. The laser
treatment is quick and offers no downtime - you can immediately return to your normal
activities. There is minimal discomfort, and a very low risk of any complications.
Patients will experience progressive improvement over several months for a fresh,
natural look. Laser skin rejuvenation\ is compatible with a whole host of other
cosmetic procedures so that maximum results can be achieved.
Is the procedure safe?
The MedLite laser used for skin rejuvenation is one of the safest lasers on the
market today. In the hands of trained medical professionals, the MedLite laser offers
a safe and effective treatment with very little risk of complications. Patients
of all skin types can be safely treated - including tanned skin.
What body areas can be treated?
The laser can be used to rejuvenate many body areas including the face, hands, neck
and chest.
How many treatments will I need?
Laser skin rejuvenation is a gradual process. Usually patients need 4-6 treatments
spaced at 3-5 weeks apart. Many patients choose to return for touch-up treatments
after the initial treatment session ends.
What does the procedure feel like?
Laser skin rejuvenation is not painful. Many describe the feeling as a tingling
sensation. Anesthesia is usually not necessary, but you may request a topical cream
depending on your own experience.
What can I expect after the treatment?
This procedure eliminates the recovery associated with other ablative laser skin
resurfacing treatments. Laser skin rejuvenation does not remove any surface skin
or cause any visible effect beyond a mild to moderate redness, which usually fades
within an hour after treatment. No specific care is needed after treatment, although
you may be asked to avoid sun and some skin products for a period of time after
the treatment. It is important to follow your physician’s instructions exactly.
