Procedure Overview
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa. Our expert team assesses your skin concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals to tailor a laser resurfacing plan that suits your unique needs.
- Treatment Options: Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa offers various laser resurfacing options, including ablative and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers, like the CO2 laser, remove the outer layers of skin, while non-ablative lasers, such as fractional lasers, penetrate beneath the surface without removing the skin. Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable option based on your skin condition and desired results.
- Procedure: During the procedure, the laser is precisely directed at the targeted areas, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration. The treatment is typically well-tolerated, and the duration varies based on the size of the treated area.
- Recovery: Post-treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. The downtime depends on the type of laser used, ranging from minimal for non-ablative lasers to a longer recovery for ablative lasers. Your practitioner will provide post-care instructions to optimize healing.
- Results: Over the following weeks, you'll notice a gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Collagen production continues, contributing to long-lasting rejuvenation.
