What is laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing at Open Door Medical Clinic is an aesthetic treatment that uses laser energy to exfoliate (peel away) outermost skin layers to reduce common signs of aging. 

It’s a painless treatment offering exceptional results by eliminating minor skin imperfections with little to no downtime. The Open Door Medical Clinic team uses advanced laser technology to maximize anti-aging results.

Which conditions can laser skin resurfacing help treat?

Laser skin resurfacing at Open Door Medical Clinic can reduce the following concerns and more:

• Leg & face veins
• Skin tightening
• Wrinkles
• Pigment correction (sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea)
• Anti-aging (sagging skin)
• Scars
• Acne

This treatment helps boost new skin cell production to achieve a smoother and younger-looking appearance. 

Is laser skin resurfacing right for me?

Many people benefit from laser skin resurfacing. To learn if this treatment is right for you, the Open Door Medical Clinic team examines your skin, reviews your medical history, and discusses your cosmetic goals.

Laser skin resurfacing may not be for you if you have:

• Very dark skin
• Active acne
• Sagging skin
• Deep wrinkles 

The Open Door Medical Clinic team creates an anti-aging treatment plan that matches your skin type and desired results. 

What can I expect during laser skin resurfacing?

During laser skin resurfacing at Open Door Medical Clinic, you relax while your provider cleans your skin and numbs it to optimize comfort. 

Your specialist emits laser energy to the treatment area, where light beams resurface the outer skin layers. Your treatment might last 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the size of the treatment areas.

What happens after laser skin resurfacing?

Common side effects after laser skin treatments include redness, tenderness, and swelling. Your skin may look like it has a mild sunburn. 

It’s important to keep the treatment areas clean as directed by the Open Door Medical Clinic team and protect your skin from the sun during the healing process. You might use protective skin care treatments to maximize healing. 

Recovery times vary based on the type of laser used and may take about 1-2 weeks. Over time, you can expect continued improvements in your appearance, including smoother, even-toned, tighter skin and a younger look. Repeat treatments help you maintain refreshed skin long term.
