Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing is performed to rejuvenate and clarify facial skin, giving it a smoother, more even appearance. Several techniques can be used to resurface the skin, including dermabrasion, chemical peels and Fraxel laser.

What conditions are treated with skin resurfacing?

• Wrinkles: Wrinkles that are present with facial expression as well as wrinkles that are visible without facial movement are improved by resurfacing.
• Pigmentation: Freckles, sun spots, melasma, or other darkened areas of skin are lightened.
• Scars: Concave scarring that results from injuries or from acne may be decreased by skin resurfacing. This often requires several treatments to achieve the desired result.
• Vascular conditions: Small blood vessels on the skin and facial redness can be improved by skin resurfacing
• Poor skin tone: Loss of the supportive skin structure including collagen and elastin can cause facial skin to droop. Resurfacing can tighten the skin, improve tone and enhance texture.
