Aging, sun exposure, and certain skin conditions can leave their mark in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, and uneven skin texture. If you’re looking for a way to restore a healthy, youthful glow, laser resurfacing could be the answer.
This cutting-edge laser treatment helps improve skin tone, refine texture, and stimulate collagen production. This not only makes your skin look smoother and fresher, but makes you look years younger.
But how does it work? What’s the difference between full ablative and fractional lasers? And what kind of results can you expect? Let’s break it all down so you can feel confident in your skin resurfacing journey.
Laser resurfacing is a specialized procedure that uses laser technology to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate new cell growth. This process helps with wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation.
