FAQs
What are the Advantages Of Laser Skin Rejuvenation?
Laser skin resurfacing offers patients many advantages over traditional skin resurfacing methods such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, since it results in many fewer side effects. Laser resurfacing has minimized discomfort, bleeding and bruising compared to other techniques.
What are the Results Of Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Results vary from each laser treatment and results are usually not immediate. Some treatments take several months to appear, and a number of treatment sessions may be needed to achieve the desired results. Once the skin heals completely, Dr. Petropoulos’ patients are invigorated by their vibrant skin that looks and feels years younger. Our patients look well-rested, refreshed, and youthful.
What is the treatment like?
In general, skin resurfacing treatments take about an hour to complete and usually involve only minor discomfort for which we offer local anesthetic. In quick pulses, the laser energy vaporizes the outer layer of skin instantaneously, allowing fresh, smooth skin to emerge from below. Collagen production is increased as well, which gives the skin a plump, youthful look.
What is the recovery like?
We are pleased to offer various laser treatment types in our office that require different amounts of down time depending on the needs of each patient with regards to social and work commitments.
Our laser treatments range from those that require no down time whatsoever such as Fraxel and photofacials, to the medium downtime treatments that make the skin light pink for 2 or 3 days like micro laser peels, to those that make the skin red for a week and require the longest recovery time for those patients with severe wrinkling. The redness fades away producing wonderful new skin. Patients are able to choose the laser treatment that is best for their aesthetic needs and to best fit their lifestyle.
Is Laser Skin Rejuvenation Safe?
Yes, the laser skin resurfacing procedure is considered safe for most patients.
Are there any risks?
Like all cosmetic procedures, laser skin resurfacing comes with its own set of risks, including potential changes in skin pigmentation, the possibility of scarring, and the risk of infection. These risks underscore the importance of consulting with a qualified professional to assess suitability and ensure proper care before, during, and after the procedure for the best possible outcomes.
