In
laser resurfacing,
sometimes called "wrinkle laser," a carbon dioxide (CO2)
laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer
by layer. The procedure is most commonly used to minimize the appearance
of fine lines, especially around the mouth and the eyes. However,
it is also effective in treating spider veins, facial scars or areas
of uneven pigmentation. Laser resurfacing may be performed on the
whole face or in specific regions. Often, the procedure is done
in conjunction with another cosmetic operation, such as a facelift
or eyelid surgery.
Other
Laser Uses: Eyelid Wrinkles, Tatoo, Hair
& Vein, Port Wine Stain, Stretch Marks and Scar Removal.
