The Procedure

Before you go ahead with the procedure, you’ll need to come in for a consultation. You will tell your surgeon your medical history and the medications you take. Depending on this information, he may ask you to stop taking certain medications.

Before the treatment, the area to be treated is cleaned. A numbing cream is applied on the area to minimize any discomfort you might feel during the procedure. After the skin has been numbed for about an hour, the cream is removed and laser is moved over the area to be treated.

The laser creates microthermal zones in the skin that remove damaged skin and replace it with new unblemished skin. The laser triggers the body’s natural healing process and increases the production of collagen.

Recovery

Your surgeon will give you various instructions that will help you take care of your skin after the laser treatment. You will be advised to avoid strenuous activities and not use hot water on your face for a time. You will also be advised to wear sunscreen and to avoid prolonged periods of heavy sun exposure to help protect your face.
