As people age, the skin cells do not get replaced as rapidly as they once did, only getting replaced every sixty days instead of every thirty days. This leaves the skin with a dull appearance and wrinkles and other blemishes seem more pronounced due to the slower replacement process in older skin. In addition, the places in the skin that are constantly being folded the same way again and again due to the different facial expressions made during the course of every day also cause blemishes in the form of wrinkles since the skin begins to 'remember' the way it was creased and it remains creased even when not making that particular expression. Laser wrinkle treatments are a way to help to resurface the skin so that these and other blemishes can be diminished or eliminated at least for a certain period of time.
How It Works
A new wrinkle treatment is laser wrinkle treatment where different types of lasers are used to resurface the skin and eliminate certain blemishes. There are different types of lasers that are used for different types of skin and procedures. There are CO2 and erbium lasers which are used in laser wrinkle treatment that removes damaged skin cells so that the newer skin cells underneath are exposed, making the skin look fresh and new again. This type of laser wrinkle treatment helps to tighten the skin that remains and, since the damaged and old skin cells are vaporized, the skin appears smoother and has a better color to it. There is another type of laser wrinkle treatment that only uses an N-Lite laser which does not vaporize skin cells, but serves to stimulate collagen production which helps with the skins elasticity and smoothness.
With laser wrinkle treatment, there are often multiple treatments needed in order to produce the results that are desired. Especially if the dynamic wrinkles are deeper or the scarring from acne is intense, then there are multiple treatments that are needed to help remove the problem areas. Laser wrinkle treatment is not always a painless process. In fact, it is actually considered an out patient surgery where topical anesthesia is used to numb the area being treated and the person will need pain medication after the procedure for up to four days. The area treated can swell and seem burned, so they can ooze and hurt for up to two weeks after the treatment.
