Laser techniques for younger-looking skin


Wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scarring can be difficult to prevent as we age. Even with a strict skin care regimen, many men and women find that it’s impossible to stop worry lines, laugh lines and sun spots from forming.

At Nesmith Plastic Surgery Center in Gainesville, our experts in skin care can help refresh the look of your skin and reduce the appearance of these pesky signs of aging through laser techniques.
While many men and women achieve a rejuvenated look with fillers and surgical procedures, a lot of our patients prefer nonsurgical laser techniques. These outpatient procedures do not change the structure of the face through augmentations or the removal of fat deposits. Instead, the lasers serve as a way to smooth over wrinkles and fine lines while diminishing the appearance of age spots and scarring.

Laser techniques are most effective for patients who want their skin to look younger and refreshed. Uncover beautiful skin that is waiting just below the surface.

Erbium laser procedures

For patients who do not require advanced lasers that penetrate deep into the skin, a mild resurfacing laser procedure is available. Erbium lasers are gentle enough to use on younger patients who suffer from acne scarring or those who are just starting to notice the first signs of aging. Erbium is also ideal for the removal of mild and moderate rhytids. Advanced signs of aging, such as sun spots and deep-set wrinkles, may not be altered by even aggressive Erbium laser procedures.

Recovery time for Erbium is shorter than other laser procedures in Gainesville, although patients may experience redness for up to two weeks. Some initial scabbing may occur during the first few days of the recovery process and can last for up to seven days.

Ablative vs. nonablative lasers


Photorejuvenation is done with one of two types of lasers — ablative or nonablative. Which laser Dr. Nesmith uses for your procedure depends on your goals and skin type. This is determined during an initial consultation.

With an ablative laser, the outer layers of skin are removed. This encourages new skin to grow and heal in place of the outer layers. Ablative lasers are also called fractionated lasers because the skin is treated in partitioned areas during the procedure.

Nonablative lasers are commonly used for laser facial rejuvenation because they work gradually, so there is generally no recovery time required after the procedure. When a nonablative laser is used, the surface of the skin stays intact as underlying layers of skin are heated. The heat stimulates collagen growth and revives the natural tautness of the skin.
 

Benefits of laser facial rejuvenation

If your facial skin appears dull and tired due to factors such as aging, heredity, and sun exposure, a photofacial can give back a healthy, youthful glow. The benefits of laser resurfacing for wrinkles, blemishes, and other trouble spots with facial skin are immediately visible.

Every laser procedure is customizable to your specific concerns and needs. Plus, unlike surgical procedures, there is little to no recovery time after a laser procedure.

If you think our laser techniques might be the solution for dull, damaged skin, contact Dr. Nesmith at our Gainesville plastic surgery center to schedule a consultation.
