FAQs
Laser skin resurfacing stands out from other methods like chemical peels or microdermabrasion due to its precision and depth of penetration.
Chemical peels use acidic solutions to remove the outer skin layers. Microdermabrasion employs a mechanical tool to exfoliate.
Laser resurfacing is unique because it uses concentrated light beams to target specific skin layers. This allows for more control and accuracy. It addresses deeper issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars more effectively.
Additionally, laser treatments can stimulate collagen production – collagen is a vital protein found in the skin and other tissues – and enhance rejuvenation from within.
Preparing your skin before laser treatment at Old Town Med Spa is crucial for optimal results. Start by following these guidelines:
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least two weeks leading up to your appointment.
- Discontinue using retinoids, exfoliants, and other harsh products a few days before the session.
- Hydrate your skin by regularly using a gentle moisturizer
- Inform your provider about medications or supplements you are taking. Some may need to be paused, such as those that make you more light-sensitive.
- Cleanse your skin thoroughly on the day of the treatment to ensure it's free from makeup, lotions, and oils.
Yes, you can combine laser skin resurfacing with other treatments to enhance overall results. Examples of services you can pair with laser resurfacing include:
Combining treatments can address multiple concerns simultaneously. For example, you can use lasers for texture improvement and fillers for volume restoration.
Generally, providers recommend avoiding makeup for at least 5 to 7 days after laser skin resurfacing. This helps with skin healing and reduces the risk of infection or irritation.
Once the initial healing phase ends, you can resume using makeup. It’s best to opt for products that are gentle on the skin. Your Old Town Med Spa provider will give you specific guidelines based on your response.
Laser skin resurfacing uses concentrated light energy to remove damaged layers and boost collagen production. This process helps to smooth out the skin’s texture and reduce the appearance of scars.
At Old Town Med Spa, our advanced laser technology targets the affected areas precisely. This promotes new, healthy cell growth. Over several sessions, patients often notice a significant improvement in scar depth and visibility.
