Are you seeking a treatment for fine lines, sun spots, or dull skin that is effective without requiring significant downtime? At Lickstein Plastic Surgery, we are pleased to offer a range of options for non-surgical skin rejuvenation to patients from Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Port St. Lucie, Tequesta, North Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, and Wellington. From deep rejuvenation with laser skin resurfacing to moderate treatments like HALO, and mild treatments like BBL and microneedling, all of our advanced treatments have been specifically chosen because they offer dramatic results.
Resurfacing treatments improve visible signs of aging. With different treatments at a variety of depths, we can improve the tone and texture of skin while targeting fine lines and deep wrinkles as well as scars.
Laser skin resurfacing works by precisely removing the top layers of skin using laser energy that safely vaporizes it layer by layer. By removing the epidermis, or the outer layer, and heating the dermis, or the underlying layer, laser skin resurfacing effectively stimulates the growth of healthy new collagen achieving firmer, smoother skin that has a radiant glow.
This treatment removes a very thin layer of skin to improve fine lines, pigmentation, tone and texture, restoring a more youthful appearance. This treatment has as little as one day of downtime, and is beneficial for overall skin maintenance.
Deeper facial resurfacing treatments remove fine lines and soften deep wrinkles. Areas frequently targeted include lines around the eyes and the mouth. Treatments are customized according to your goals and downtime varies according to the depth of the laser.
Individuals interested in laser skin resurfacing typically have sun damaged skin, or concerns with skin that shows visible signs of aging. Contact our office today to set up a consultation with our doctors to learn more and find out if you are a candidate for laser skin resurfacing.
The most commonly treated areas are the face and neck. Other areas, such as the hands and chest, can also be treated. Resurfacing treatments can be combined with other plastic surgery procedures to further improve the results.
Your skin will be cleansed. Depending on the patient, a topical anesthetic may be applied or a nerve block may be administered. Your eyes will be protected during the treatment and the laser will glide across the skin of the area to be treated. The procedure typically lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
The comfort level during laser skin treatment varies greatly from patient to patient. It also depends on the depth of the treatment. For deeper treatments, local anesthetic is used in addition to the topical anesthetic. Immediately following the treatment you may experience redness and sensation similar to a sunburn. Swelling may occur.
Complete healing will depend on the depth of the treatment. Shallow treatments may be healed in 2 to 4 days, while deeper treatments may take several weeks. You will be giving instructions regarding skin care but should be able to begin wearing makeup in approximately one week.
