Laser Resurfacing
This laser treatment helps rectify superficial to moderate facial wrinkles, mild surface scars, skin discoloration, and sun-damaged skin in delicate areas such as around the eyes and mouth. General anesthesia is required, as the ablative laser resurfacing removes the whole depth of the skin from the epidermis down to the dermis - a process that can be rather painful!
Following an ablative laser resurfacing, doctors will advise you to rest for about 7-10 days. During the recovery process, the skin is typically red or pink (a condition that can last anywhere from several days to a few months), and crusting may occur.
