Refresh Yourself Are You Ready for Laser Skin Resurfacing?

If the cumulative effects of aging, acne, and sun damage are appearing on your face, it may be time to consider laser skin resurfacing. The procedure is appropriate for men and women of all ages. It works by damaging or removing your skin layer by layer to target surface imperfections and promote the growth of fresh skin cells.

Your Treatment Options

There are three general categories of lasers available for your treatment experience: ablative, non-ablative, and fractional.

Ablative

Ablative lasers uniformly injure your skin, similar to the way a deep chemical peel would. The laser removes layers of your skin to tighten the area, minimize scars, and improve the appearance of wrinkles. Procedures done with this laser are intensive and require substantial downtime.

Non-Ablative

Non-ablative lasers don’t directly damage or remove the outer layers of your skin. Instead, they heat the targeted tissues to promote your body’s natural production of collagen. In this way, these lasers improve fine lines and wrinkles over time. It’s a less aggressive procedure, and therefore typically requires multiple sessions.

Fractional

Fractional lasers are Dr. Berkowitz’s preferred tool for resurfacing procedures. They create tiny holes in your skin to encourage your body to produce fresh skin cells and collagen. The surface of your skin is injured less, but the depth is more extensive. This allows Dr. Berkowitz to thoroughly treat fine lines, deep wrinkles, advanced scars, and other issues with minimal downtime.

Who Is This Procedure Right For?

The MiXto SX CO2 laser is well-suited for men and women of all ages, and with all skin types and colors. More specifically, the following groups of patients in Detroit can benefit from treatment with this laser:

  • Younger patients with extensive acne scars
  • Middle-aged patients with wrinkles and age spots
  • Older patients with wrinkles, age spots, and pre-cancerous lesions

Your Procedure: What to Expect

When you arrive at Dr. Berkowitz’s Sterling Heights or West Bloomfield offices on the day of your treatment, you will be given local anesthesia to ensure your complete comfort. If you’re having your entire face done, the procedure can take up to two hours. If you are only treating certain areas of your face, expect to be at the office for 30 to 45 minutes.

During your procedure, the MiXto SX CO2 laser will deliver a therapeutic matrix of tiny beams of light energy (each about the size of a hair) to the top and middle layers of the skin. A single treatment can show significant improvement in your skin texture and color, while dramatically softening your wrinkles. The staff at Accents Cosmetic Surgery and MedSpa are some of the most experienced and professional providers of Co2 laser skin resurfacing Detroit, Michigan has to offer.

The Recovery Period

Laser skin resurfacing is an outpatient procedure, so you will be free to return home immediately after your appointment. You will be red and swollen the next day, and you can expect some peeling on the third and fourth day.

These effects are not extensive and are similar to a sunburn. In general, most of our Detroit patients are ready to return to work the following day after their procedure. However, some clients need four to five days of downtime.

Results The New You, Revealed…

Every patient will respond to the MiXto SX CO2 laser in a unique way. However, typically our Michigan patients experience a 40 to 60 percent improvement in the quality of their skin, along with the following specific changes:

  • Immediate improvement in complexion
  • Minimized acne scarring and pitting
  • Softened fine lines and wrinkles
  • Diminished age and sun spots
  • Lifted and tightened jawline

Your final results will be apparent in about six months, once your new collagen has emerged and plumped your skin.
