Laser Skin Resurfacing
At Glareskintone, we use advanced laser technology to help rejuvenate your skin, addressing various concerns such as skin tone, texture, and pore size. Laser skin resurfacing is a highly effective treatment that uses focused light energy to target specific skin issues, stimulating the skin's natural healing processes. Our skilled specialists employ different types of lasers and techniques to achieve your aesthetic goals, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to your unique skin type and needs.
A. Laser Toning
Laser Toning is designed to even out skin tone by treating redness, pigmentation issues, and discoloration. This treatment uses specific wavelengths of laser light that target and break down areas of redness, sun spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more uniform complexion. The treatment works primarily on the surface layers of the skin where discoloration occurs, making it highly effective for treating blemishes and uneven skin tone. Laser Toning is more precise and powerful than other light-based treatments, such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), allowing for better targeting of the skin's discoloration. Additionally, the customizable wavelengths ensure that Laser Toning is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, with minimal risk of hyperpigmentation or irritation.
B. Laser Pore Reduction
Laser Pore Reduction targets the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production to help tighten the skin and reduce the size of enlarged pores. This treatment is ideal for individuals with visible pores, skin laxity, or uneven skin texture. By delivering energy directly to the dermal layer, the laser helps promote the skin’s natural collagen production, which results in firmer, smoother skin with a noticeable reduction in pore size. Over time, the increased collagen production helps improve the overall structure and appearance of the skin, leaving you with a more youthful and refreshed look. Laser Pore Reduction is particularly beneficial for individuals with oily skin, as it helps balance oil production and reduce the appearance of clogged pores.
What Happens During My Appointment?
During your laser skin resurfacing treatment, we start by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. Afterward, we select the appropriate laser and energy settings based on your unique skin type and concerns. The laser is then gently passed across the surface of your skin several times. The treatment may feel like a mild prickling or tingling sensation, but it is generally well-tolerated. To ensure comfort during the procedure, cold air is applied to the treated area, which helps soothe the skin and reduce any discomfort. The procedure itself is quick and typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
What Are the Side Effects?
Laser skin resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure, but there may be some temporary side effects. Most individuals experience mild redness at the treatment site, similar to a sunburn. This redness usually lasts a few hours after the procedure, though in some cases, it may persist for up to 3 days. Some patients may also experience slight swelling, dryness, or a feeling of tightness in the treated area as the skin begins its healing process. These side effects are temporary and should resolve within a few days. It is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our specialists to minimize side effects and ensure the best possible results.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
The number of laser resurfacing sessions required will depend on the severity of your skin concerns. For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. These sessions allow the skin to gradually heal and regenerate, ensuring the best possible outcome. After completing the initial series of treatments, maintenance sessions may be recommended every month or as needed to maintain the results and further enhance the appearance of your skin.
When Can I Expect Results?
Results from laser skin resurfacing are generally seen in stages. After your Laser Toning treatment, you should begin to notice dark spots and red areas fading within a few days. This gradual improvement continues over the next few weeks as your skin heals. For Laser Pore Reduction, you may start to notice tightening and smoothing of the skin after just one week. Over the course of several sessions, the appearance of your pores will continue to improve as collagen production increases and the skin becomes firmer and more even. While results are gradual, many patients report noticeable improvements in their skin texture, tone, and overall appearance within the first few weeks of treatment.
