What is it?
Laser skin resurfacing is performed by Dr. Blum using a high energy pulsed
carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. Applying laser energy in quick, intense bursts,
the physician can actually vaporize unwanted tissue and smooth surface indentations.
In some cases, the procedure is used after a facelift or eyelid surgery
to eliminate remaining lines. In each case, the number and duration of treatments
vary depending on the specific condition being treated.
Treatable conditions with laser skin resurfacing include:
- Facial lines and wrinkles due to aging
- Crows feet at the corner of the eyes
- Lines and wrinkles under the eyes
- Laugh or "Frown" creases
- Lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- Scars from acne, chicken pox, trauma or some surgeries
What are the main advantages of laser resurfacing over other treatments?
Compared to a chemical peel, dermabrasion or other forms of laser
treatment, this procedure offers:
- More accurate visualization of the treatment tissue
- More accurate depth control vs. chemical peel
- More precise elimination of fine lines
- Less risk of certain infections due to a bloodless field
