The use of lasers in skincare is proving to be one of our most effective weapons we have to fight our war on aging. It is a constant battle in today’s world. However, it is a battle we are winning thanks to ever increasing demands for advances in technology and understanding the biology of the skin.

Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure that is becoming more and more popular to help minimize the effects of aging on the skin. It is most commonly used to treat the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and mouth. Laser skin resurfacing can also be used effectively to treat scarring and uneven pigmentation.

Laser skin resurfacing works by using a beam of laser energy which targets the surface layer of skin without affecting deeper layers. During the laser process the heat generated shortens and tightens the collagen fibers in the skin which helps to restore elasticity to the skin. The laser energy exfoliates the skin, enabling a new surface layer to grow back - allowing a softer, smoother, and younger appearance.
