Your friends here at Live Young Wellness Spa in Flower Mound and Castle Hills pride ourselves on being at the forefront of laser skin treatment technology. Not only do these treatments address a variety of skin issues to restore the luminous glow you had when you were younger, but they eliminate long and painful recovery times.
This includes profractional laser resurfacing, which by consistently giving our clients smoother, tighter, and more evenly toned skin, has quickly become one of the most popular resurfacing treatment options on the market.
Imagine making skin imperfections disappear without extended downtimes
Profractional laser resurfacing is a form of ablative laser resurfacing, meaning that it uses an intense wavelength of light to remove the top layers of aged or sun-damaged skin. At the same time, it triggers the body to create new collagen deep in the dermis, helping to tighten skin and correct skin imperfections. While this process sounds painful, downtime is actually limited with profractional laser resurfacing because the procedure selectively treats tiny sections or portions of damaged skin at its deepest layers, By doing so, the surrounding, non-treated areas remain unharmed.
During profractional laser resurfacing, your doctor marks the specific areas to be treated to maximize depth and concentration. They will apply an anesthetic cream to ease any discomfort that may occur, and the laser’s settings are kept shallow to allow a deeper penetration as compared to surface anesthesia.
The procedure only takes roughly 30 minutes, and most people can expect a full recovery in 3-10 days. Many patients achieve excellent results in as little as one treatment, though the number of treatments can vary from patient to patient.
With profractional laser resurfacing, we safely treat the face, neck, chest, and even hands to remove and improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Discolored skin
- Sun damage
- Skin that has poor elasticity
- And more …
What should I expect after profractional laser resurfacing treatment?
You should notice an immediate difference in your skin’s appearance, and the improvements will only get better over the following weeks. It is worth noting that you should be careful after the procedure to avoid the sun and UV rays until the healing process is complete. This will limit skin sensitivity and help you achieve the best results.
The bottom line is that choosing one laser resurfacing procedure over the other depends on your specific needs, what you AND your doctor think is the best solution, and whether or not you can stand a little downtime.
