Laser
Skin Enhancements
By Ricardo Silva |
The laser also reaches down to the underlying collagen.
Instead of removing the collagen, the heat results in a reduction of the
collagen. This reduction results in the tightening up of the collagen and
skin giving the patient a less wrinkled look. In practical terms, laser skin
enhancements give you a bit of a lift and peel at the same time.
A laser enhancement is not the best procedure for all
facial concerns. It does not work well on areas such as deep creases in the
neck and cheek, creases around the lips and the upper eyelids. For smaller,
fine lines and light wrinkles, however, it can be a less invasive choice
than surgery. There are many advantages to choosing the laser procedure.
There is less recovery time, general anesthesia is generally not necessary,
and there is very little blood loss. There are also normally no scars
following the procedure.
There are some potential side effects to having laser
enhancements as there are with any cosmetic surgery. The recovery takes
about ten days during which you can have very sensitive skin with some
weeping. During this period, you will see a progression of skin color from
red to pink to normal. There can also be a permanent lightening of the area
treated, which can be a problem for some dark skin individuals. It is also
not recommended for people looking to remove large quantities of skin or who
have severe facial damage due to sun or age. If you are such a patient,
laser enhancements can help but will not be a total solution.
Laser skin enhancements are a popular alternative to
traditional facial surgeries. Make sure to speak with your doctor to find
out your options and whether this surgery is appropriate for you.
