The new development in laser technology that has allowed the recent advances in skin resurfacing is the ability to apply the laser energy very quickly before the heat can spread to underlying tissue. For this reason and because of its extreme precision, the new laser process is by far the safest method for removing facial wrinkles, and also produces the most effective and long-lasting results.

The recovery period will vary from patient to patient and will depend on the amount and extent of treatment performed. Typically, the skin will be red (like a sunburn) post-operatively for 5 to 10 days. During that period you will keep the treated area(s) well lubricated and moist with cold compresses. The redness will fade to pink within 2 weeks and continue to fade to its normal color over the next 1 to 4 months. This pinkness is easily camouflaged by makeup, which can usually be applied in 5-10 days, depending upon your skin’s response to treatment.
