The Technique

Concentrated beams of light are targeted on the affected skin areas using a hand-held wand. The intense laser beams vaporize the skin cells, revealing fresh new skin underneath.
Who Is It For?

If you want to get rid of fine lines around the eyes, wrinkles on the forehead or skin blemishes, laser resurfacing can be a good option for you. However, please note that laser resurfacing is not an alternative for a face lift surgery.

Side Effects

Some people may report common side effects like swelling and redness of the treated area. Crusting of skin can be noticed as well, but all these side effects subside with proper postoperative care. Cosmetic surgeons may prescribe antibiotics to avoid the risk of bacterial infections before and after the procedure.
