Laser Resurfacing

• Laser resurfacing is performed using a beam of laser energy which vaporizes the upper layers of the skin. In many cases facial wrinkles are localized in specific areas around the mouth and eyes. The laser can target these areas and precisely control the resurfacing. After the laser surgery the face will have a more youthful appearance. This procedure is performed in the office. The patient may return to work in 10-14 days. The redness may last 6-12 weeks.
