Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced, non-invasive skin treatment that reduces wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other blemishes, while it also tightens the skin and helps to balance skin tone and pigmentation.
Laser skin resurfacing removes the outer layer of skin while the underlying skin is heated to stimulate the production of collagen, which is your body’s natural way of producing new, fresh and elastic skin. The dead skin peels away over a period of about one week, revealing firmer, fresh and more radiant skin beneath.
Laser skin resurfacing provides a number of benefits for patients who would like to improve and refresh their skin:
Candidates for laser skin resurfacing in Spring TX at SGK Plastic Surgery are men and women who would like to reduce wrinkles, tighten their skin, and achieve more youthful, smooth and rejuvenated skin. Candidates should meet the following requirements:
At SGK Plastic Surgery, we offer Morpheus8 and fractional laser treatments to provide the very best in laser skin resurfacing.
Morpheus8 is a skin resurfacing and microneedling device that utilizes radiofrequency technology to refresh and revitalize the skin. With the micro penetration into the skin from the microneedling device, the RF energy is more deeply absorbed, which generates a more youthful, tight and smooth appearance. Collagen and elastin production is also dramatically triggered for a long term, further rejuvenating effect.
Our fractional laser treatment delivers precise beams of light into the lower layers of skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin and triggers a natural healing process. This results in the fast growth of firmer, more healthy skin, and long-lasting results. This procedure safely improves skin tone, texture and quality, and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
There is no real recovery or downtime after Morpheus8 or fractional laser treatments. You can get right back to your usual activities and routine once the procedure is complete, but there may be some redness, a tight feeling or some swelling for about a week. Wait one day to apply makeup again, and avoid any exposure to the sun for four weeks after treatment.
It’s important to stay out of the sun following laser skin rejuvenation for about a month. The length of time may depend on the laser used and how aggressive the treatment was.
You will see results after one treatment. The number of treatments you require will depend on your aesthetic goals.
You will see results in two to three weeks, once your skin has healed. These results will continue to improve over time as the production of collagen and elastin take effect.
Yes, the treatments may be done on any skin color or type.
