How Does Laser Resurfacing Work?

Are you looking for laser resurfacing in Fort Lauderdale? At The Vera Medical Institute of South Florida, our experienced board-certified plastic surgeons are dedicated to providing the highest level of patient care and safety. We offer a wide range of cosmetic procedures, including laser resurfacing. Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced technique that can help reduce wrinkles, sun damage, and other signs of aging on the face. It can also improve acne scars, stretch marks, and discoloration. With this procedure we are able to target specific areas with precision while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed This allows us to deliver impressive results with minimal downtime and discomfort.

Laser skin resurfacing works by using a fractional CO2 laser to remove the outer layers of damaged or aged skin from the face. The treatment works by targeting small columns of tissues in between healthy tissues which helps minimize trauma to surrounding tissue while still achieving optimal results. During your consultation with one of our skilled plastic surgeons they will discuss your aesthetic goals in order to determine which type of laser is best for you as well as identify any potential risks or side effects associated with treatment.
