Q:
How does skin resurfacing help my skin look younger?
A:
As we get older, we all experience the effects of time. Our skin starts to get splotchy, rough and red. Our pores seem to be bigger than they used to be. We have a little more oil on our skin at 4:00 than we used to. Skin resurfacing works on the underneath layers of your skin to remove the dead skin, stimulate long-term collagen and elastin production, tighten pores, break apart surface veins, and tighten oil producing pores. Skin resurfacing leaves your skin smoother, clearer, more even, and healthier.
Q:
Can skin resurfacing help with my acne scarring?
A:
Yes. Skin Resurfacing is the ideal treatment to lessen or remove the acne scarring that you’ve lived with for so long. By removing dead skin on the surface and stimulating growth from underneath, we can help with that ugly scarring you’ve wanted to get rid of for so long.
Q:
How long does a procedure take?
A:
The treatment will only take about 15 minutes at the most. It is comfortable and fast.
Q:
Why is Erbium skin resurfacing more effective than other procedures?
A:
There are several options for skin resurfacing. From light treatments such as microderm, chemical peels, and PhotoFacials®, to medium treatments such as Fraxle®, Levulan® and TCA peels, and severe treatments such as CO2 skin resurfacing, Erbium skin resurfacing is the best all around alternative because it offers phenomenal results with little down time and minimal risk. There is no general anesthesia – you will be awake during your treatment. There are no bandages – your treatment includes skin care products to care for your skin after your treatment. The results are real – you will immediate see an improvement in texture and color of your skin. After 4-6 weeks you will see noticeable improvement in acne scarring and fine lines.
Q:
How many treatments do I need?
A:
We recommend that you book a consultation so that we can give you an accurate assessment of how many treatments you will need. In general, those who are experiencing acne scarring, severe discoloration, etc. should plan on a series of 3 treatments. For maintenance or prevention, a single treatment will offer great results.
Q:
How long is the healing time after a treatment?
A:
Healing time will vary based on the patient and the intensity of the treatment. In general plan on 3-5 days of downtime; meaning, you probably won’t want to go to work or to social events. After day 5-7 you will begin to see rapid healing, swelling will go down, your skin will return to normal color, and peeling will begin. At this point, most people won’t notice that you’ve had anything done. By about day 7-10, healing is usually complete. Expect to see full results after about 6 weeks.
