Laser Skin Resurfacing

 

 

Are you a good candidate for Laser Skin Resurfacing?

 

The best indication for using a CO2 laser is to help remove the fine wrinkles around the eyes and face. It also does a good job in decreasing the dark circles underneath the eyes. Other indications for having laser skin resurfacing include:

 

  • Fine wrinkles around the eyes and face.
  • Dark pigmentation underneath the eyes.
  • Stretched, lax skin.
  • Skin discoloration and age spots.

 

People who are not good candidates are those with very dark skin. These people have a higher risk of skin discoloration and hyper pigmentation from laser skin resurfacing. These persons may be better served with chemical peeling which has less risk of causing this problem. Other people who are not good candidates are those who expect laser skin resurfacing to do things that it is not capable of doing. For example, the laser will not address the deeper tissues of the face that result in facial sagging. Nor does it help much with deep wrinkles, although it does improve them. To decide what is best for you a consultation with Dr. Cruise is necessary.

 

People who have been on the drug Accutane within the last 2 years should not have laser skin resurfacing as it adversely affects skin healing capabilities and may result in scarring.
