Laser skin rejuvenation refines your appearance by making your skin look healthier and more youthful. Laser skin rejuvenation treatments reduce sun spots, wrinkles, and loose skin while improving your skin’s texture and color. The procedure also removes damaged blood vessels and blotches.
At the Skin Care Center, Dr. Warmuth utilizes non-invasive light-based treatments to rejuvenate the skin. These treatments target red and brown pigment, leaving your complexion smoother and more even as result. Laser skin rejuvenation treatments can be used to treat the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. Any man or woman with sun-damaged or aged skin is a candidate for laser skin rejuvenation.
What to Expect
Before treatment, a cold gel will be applied to the treatment area. During the procedure, a smooth glass surface is applied to the skin and precise pulses of light are delivered to the treatment area. For most patients, the procedure is pain-free, but if some discomfort is felt, an anesthetic cream may be applied. The sensation felt during laser skin rejuvenation is similar to the feeling of a rubber band being snapped against your skin.
Laser skin rejuvenation treatments last about 20 minutes and there is no downtime, so you can resume your normal daily activities immediately. After treatment, the pigmented lesions darken slightly and then fade away after 7 to 10 days. The treatment area may temporarily become red following the procedure, but the redness usually subsides within a few hours.
Three to five treatment sessions are usually required to achieve optimal results. Many patients notice a significant improvement after just two to three treatments. In order to maintain the results of laser skin rejuvenation, yearly follow-up treatments are recommended.
