Skin resurfacing procedures use lasers to reduce the signs of aging and improve skin texture, laxity and tone. Lasers are also used to treat a variety of other cosmetic concerns. Skin resurfacing is done by two methods; ablative and non-ablative lasers. Non-ablative resurfacing is a treatment that keeps the skin intact while stimulating collagen growth. It also tightens the underlying skin. This procedure is ideal for people who prefer a milder approach that offers less downtime and no risk of skin infection.
What should first be done before considering non-ablative laser rejuvenation?
Before the procedure, a certified dermatologist will look at and review your medical history and conduct a physical exam. During this period, you can ask the dermatologist for a detailed explanation for your queries or concerns. They will also let you know of the risks and consequences involved in the procedure. Prior to undergoing the procedure, you should:
- Avoid tanning (both natural and artificial)
- Avoid long periods of sun exposure
- Avoid perfumes, deodorants and other potential irritants in the treatment area.
- Avoid taking blood thinners such as alcohol and aspirin prior to treatment.
Side effects of non-ablative laser rejuvenation
Non-ablative laser resurfacing causes side effects such as:
- Infection – non-ablative laser resurfacing can cause a flare-up of the herpes virus.
- Changes in skin color – If you have tanned or darker skin, non-ablative laser resurfacing can cause your skin to become temporarily darker (hyperpigmentation).
- Mild swelling and redness – swelling and redness typically last only hours or days.
- Blistering and scarring – although uncommon, non-ablative laser resurfacing has been proven to cause blistering and scarring.
Is non-ablative laser rejuvenation for everyone?
Simply put, no. A few people cannot undergo the treatment. They may include:
- People who have active acne
- People who have an autoimmune disease or a weak immune system
- People who scar easily
- People with unrealistic expectations
