Aging is a fact of life for everyone, and the signs of aging can take a toll on a person’s self-confidence. With fractional laser skin resurfacing, you can achieve a noticeable enhancement to your skin without having to undergo surgery. Dr. Deborah Farrell offers fractional laser skin resurfacing in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, which may be just what you need to visibly reduce the effects of aging.
Why Consider Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Perhaps the most obvious reason to consider fractional laser skin resurfacing is to treat wrinkles or tighten your skin. It may also be helpful if you have scars, stretch marks, or other skin issues, such as “liver spots” or discoloration. Fractional laser skin resurfacing can generate fresh, new skin to eliminate or reduce such issues.
How the Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure is performed
Fractional laser skin resurfacing is most commonly performed on the face. However, if you have skin issues elsewhere on your body, it is possible to treat those areas, as well.
The relevant area is typically numbed with a cream prior to treatment. Medicine may also be provided to help you relax.
Dr. Deborah Farrell will then pass a laser over your skin. This will send out very brief pulses and treat the skin. Several passes may be performed, depending on the skin condition and area being treated. After the procedure, a clean dressing or ointment will be applied to your skin.
You may only need to undergo one or two sessions to achieve optimal results.
What Is the Recovery Process Like?
You’ll likely experience swelling and mild tenderness after the treatment, and your skin will appear slightly red – similar to a sunburn. These conditions will last for a few days. It is important to keep your follow-up appointments to observe your healing and optimize results. Speak with Dr. Deborah Farrell for specific advice on the recovery process.
