Cape Coral Laser Skin Resurfacing
Cape Coral Laser Skin Resurfacing procedures cannot produce perfect skin; rather, the goal is to improve the appearance of the skin as much as possible. Skin type and color, ethnic background, and age are important factors that should be discussed prior to a Cape Coral Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure. If you have dark skin or problems such as allergies, previous burns, a history of poor scars, or radiation exposure, you may need special evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for these procedures.
Bear in mind that neither Cape Coral Laser Skin Resurfacing nor dermabrssion can correct sagging skin or halt the aging process. Furthermore, you must make a commitment to use sunblock.
Cape Coral Laser Skin Resurfacing is used to smooth facial skin wrinkling caused by excess sun exposure, “crow’s feet,” and acne scarring. The high energy, amplified light waves of carbon dioxide (CO2) laser vaporize the top layer of skin instantly, with no bleeding and minimal trauma to the surrounding skin.
Immediately following a Cape Coral Laser Skin Resurfacing – skin dressing and ointments will be applied for seven to ten days following surgery, to keep the skin supple. The redness of skin that persists after the initial healing phase fades with time.
One to two weeks after a Southwest Florida Laser Skin Resurfacing, new skin will emerge that is pinkish, finer and free of many wrinkles. But it may take weeks for all the redness to vanish. Follow-up care involves using sun block in order to protect the skin while new pigment is created. Patients will notice that the skin remains lighter for a long time after a Cape Coral Laser Skin Resurfacing, but that condition will usually subside when the skin’s pigment level has been restored.
