At drs skincare, we know that taking good care of the skin and body is a full-time job. We also understand that patients want to look their best each and every day and are seeking solutions to improve the skin’s texture and tone. When patients of the Lincoln, Ontario area and beyond reach out to our professionals about clearing the skin and improving its overall health and appearance, our dedicated staff may recommend skin resurfacing treatments.
What is skin resurfacing?
As we age and our skin is subjected to environmental factors, we may notice it becoming dull, dry, and more relaxed, resulting in poor skin texture and tone–and a more aged appearance. When patients visit Drs. Rahul Shukla and Jennifer Chuback at drs skincare, they may be told to consider skin resurfacing treatment. Skin resurfacing is a laser therapy for skin rejuvenation. The laser light energy penetrates deep to improve skin laxity with the natural production of collagen and elastin. This light energy can also target imperfections on the skin, such as age spots, hyperpigmentation, and facial veins or vessels evening out the skin’s tone for an enhanced appearance.
What happens during skin resurfacing treatment?
First, our provider will cleanse the skin. Then, our advanced laser technologies are used in the treatment area to start the rejuvenation process. We often use a topical numbing cream on the skin before beginning to ensure patient comfort. As the laser light energy passes through the skin, it triggers the skin’s healing response and reaction to boost collagen and elastin production. At the same time, it breaks down pigmentation in the skin to smooth the skin’s complexion. In some cases, a single treatment session may lead to partial results, though we often recommend a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to obtain optimum changes in the skin’s appearance.
What else should I consider for skin rejuvenation?
We also provide other ways to complement your skin resurfacing treatment that you might want to consider as well, including cosmetic injectables such as dermal fillers or neuromodulators. Also, we may suggest the benefits of an improved skincare routine that can maintain the results you achieve for longer while nourishing the skin for the best possible appearance. During a consultation appointment, we can talk to you about laser therapy for skin and other add-ons you might want to think about for added improvement.
