Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing: Achieving Smoother, Younger-Looking Skin

Are you unhappy with the look or feel of your skin? Dr. Jason Applebaum and the team at Shade Dermatology in Jericho, NY offer laser skin resurfacing and other services to help you feel confident with the skin you’re in.

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

 There are many procedures available when you want to improve your skin, one of which is laser skin resurfacing. This method uses lasers to remove or tighten the top layers of skin, depending on the type of resurfacing you choose. Below, Dr. Applebaum and the team at Shade Dermatology in Jericho, NY share some of the most important benefits of resurfacing.

It Addresses Many Different Concerns 

 For some people, fine lines and wrinkles are what they seek to remove. For others, it can be acne, scars, freckles, discoloration, visible blood vessels, or conditions like rosacea. Regardless of what you want to address, there is a resurfacing technique to treat it. 

You Can Enjoy Bright, Youthful-Looking Skin 

 Resurfacing either removes the top layers of your skin or promotes healing in those areas. When layers are removed, a fresh layer appears. If the top layers aren’t removed, the laser energy still stimulates the production of collagen. In both cases, you get smoother, brighter, more youthful skin, which can boost your confidence. 

It’s Less Invasive Than Many Other Options 

 Some cosmetic procedures involve highly invasive techniques, such as cutting open the skin. Laser resurfacing doesn’t involve such methods, so there is a faster recovery time and a much lower risk of scarring. However, you can expect to deal with some peeling and redness after your procedure. 

Fast and Lasting Results 

 Treatment typically takes less than one hour, and results appear almost immediately afterward. As collagen production increases and continues, you’ll likely see further improvement for some time.

Additionally, this technique is used to produce fresh, healthier layers of skin, so its results aren’t something that can easily be “undone.” It is important to note, however, that your new layers of skin can age and become damaged, so ongoing skin care is crucial to maximizing your results.
