Laser resurfacing treatments offered
Scherl Dermatology offers the following laser resurfacing treatments:
- LaseMD Ultra. This device features a 1927nm wavelength to rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. It creates microchannels in the skin, stimulates the body’s natural healing process, and produces new collagen to smooth and improve the skin over time.
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light to improve the skin’s texture. A Fotofacial treatment (full-face IPL treatment) improves the appearance of fine lines, brown spots, large pores, and sun-damaged and aged skin, as well as reduces facial redness and flushing.
- CO2 Laser. This is one of the most aggressive forms of laser resurfacing. This treatment uses a fractional device, which is different from the standard ablative laser resurfacing that vaporizes the entire upper layer of skin. Fractional lasers punch micro-holes in the skin, but much of the skin is not injured. The skin tightens as collagen between the treated holes in the skin contracts, enhancing the skin’s overall appearance.
The laser resurfacing procedure at Scherl Dermatology
1 Consultation
Facial laser resurfacing procedures are performed on an outpatient basis using topical numbing cream or injectable anesthetics. Depending on your laser procedure, we will discuss your anesthesia options before treatment.
2 Procedure
You will be given eye shields to protect your eyes during the procedure. Then, your dermatologist will slowly pass a handheld device over the treatment area to deliver energy directly to your skin. You may feel a gentle pressure or a warm or tingling sensation.
Some patients describe the experience as like the snapping of a rubber band against the skin. Many laser devices also include integrated cooling mechanisms to enhance patient comfort.
A session typically takes less than 30 minutes to perform. The total procedure time depends on the device used and the treatment area’s size.
3 Aftercare Instructions
Aftercare instructions include sun avoidance and emollients to keep the skin moist and protected. Written instructions will be provided following your treatment.
4 Follow Up
Patients may require multiple treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. Your dermatologist will assess your skin to customize the best treatment plan for your goals.
