The Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

Unhappy with the look and feel of your skin? Dr. Jason Applebaum at Shade Dermatology in Jericho NY offers laser skin resurfacing that can help you love the skin you’re in.

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

There are many techniques available to help freshen your look and change how you feel about your skin, one of which is laser skin resurfacing. This is a technique in which laser technology is used to heat and remove the upper layers of the skin. New, fresh layers can break through, and the heat encourages the production of collagen. Below, Dr. Applebaum and the team at Shade Dermatology in Jericho NY share some of the benefits this technology provides.

Provides a Youthful Look

Resurfacing can treat a wide range of skin complaints and issues that make the skin look dull and aged. Some of these include:

• Removing blemishes
• Reducing pore size
• Treating acne
• Evening the skin tone and improving discoloration
• Reducing the appearance of blood vessels
• Firming and tightening the skin
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles

Overall, you get a fresher, smoother, more youthful appearance.

It Can Treat Scars

Many people live with acne scars, as well as scars from trauma and accidents. These scars can leave sufferers feeling less than confident. However, resurfacing – typically over several visits – can smooth out the skin enough that the scars begin to blend in with the rest of the skin.

Treatment Is Personalized

Some people want their entire face or a large area treated. Others only want to focus on certain problem areas, such as around the eyes or mouth. Additionally, some are concerned only with reducing the appearance of scars or sun spots while others are concerned with their general appearance. You and your dermatologist will discuss your goals and specific concerns so that the treatment can be personalized to you.

It’s Fast, Minimally Invasive, and Easy

Laser resurfacing is a simple outpatient procedure that typically takes less than an hour, making it easy to fit in on a lunch break. Additionally, no cutting or other highly invasive techniques are involved, so you don’t need to worry about a lengthy recovery period.

Results Are Lasting

The unwanted issues that are removed during the procedure are gone, and collagen production is stimulated. This means that the results last and your body is empowered to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy. With proper skincare, you can continue to enjoy the results for a long time.
