Skin is the largest part of our body that
performs many functions ranging from sense to
protection. Besides age being a key factor that
affects the skin, any problem in whichever part
of the body will affect the skin as well.

Dark circles, sagging skin, wrinkles, etc. are
brought on by aging whereas other (facial) skin
conditions include blemishes, wrinkles, acne,
etc. People turn to laser face treatments in New
Jersey when anti-aging products, medications,
etc. havent been able to redress the skin
problems.

Laser therapy is used to treat a variety of skin
conditions and ailments ranging from scars,
uneven skin tone and texture, smokers line,
unwanted hair, unwanted tattoos, birthmarks,
spider veins to brown spots and uneven skin
color, skin tightening, vascular lesions, pucker
marks and frown lines, sagging eyelid skin and
dark circles, aging skin problems like age spots,
fine lines and wrinkles on the face and more.

Laser resurfacing can be defined as a procedure
that uses a laser to improve skin appearance or
treat minor facial flaws by removing layers of
skin with the two most common types of
resurfacing lasers being Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
(treats wrinkles, scars, warts and other
conditions) and Erbium (removes superficial and
moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face,
hands, neck and chest).

Before you consider laser resurfacing

• An expert dermatologist will review your medical
  history, conduct a physical exam and discuss your
  expectations.

• An oral antibiotic may be prescribed to keep from
  bacterial infection.

• One must avoid excessive sun exposure.

7

• Patients may be advised to apply a topical
  retinoid on their skin for about four weeks
  before the procedure.

Remember, laser resurfacing isnt a good option
for patients who have active acne or very dark
skin.

Types Of Lasers
Several types of lasers are used in skin laser
therapy with the broad two categories being

• Ablative Lasers- an intense wavelength of light
  is ejected into the skin in this procedure, which
  removes the outer layers of aged or sun damaged
  skin.

Ablative lasers are of two types

• Carbon Dioxide Laser (Co2) that is used in case
  of acne scars, deep set wrinkles, birthmarks,
  other scarring warts, moles, skin tags, saggy
  skin (encourages collagen production for skin
  tightening), corns on feet, and sun damage.

• The second type is Erbium that helps remove
  surface-level and moderately deep lines and
  wrinkles on the face, hands, neck or chest with
  minimal burning of surrounding tissues.

11

• Non-ablative Laser- non-ablative (or
  non-wounding) laser works beneath the surface
  skin layer. It tightens the underlying skin to
  improve the skin tone by stimulating collagen
  growth. The types of Non-Ablative Laser-based
  treatments are as follows

1. Pulsed Dye Laser
2. Alexandrite Laser
3. Nd Yag Laser

12
The results of laser treatments vary, depending
on the technology and treatment. Laser
treatments, when properly performed can visibly
improve the skin conditions and problems, and the
skin also gets rejuvenated with some potential
complications of laser resurfacing being
swelling, scarring, infection, pigmentation
issues, itching, etc.
