UV exposure, smoke, stress, and aging—these factors damage your skin over time, eventually leaving you with blemishes, pockmarks, and fine lines. Without immediate treatment, you might end up looking much older than you are.
Fortunately, HARLEM LASER CENTER’s laser skin resurfacing can reverse these accumulated damages. By directing concentrated pulses of light into your skin, we precisely remove damaged tissue layer by layer, essentially vaporizing it. At the same time, we stimulate the growth of new skin cells underneath, replacing the tissue and returning the even tone, smoothness, and suppleness of your skin.
Who Qualifies for Laser Skin Care?
You may be a candidate for skin resurfacing if you have:
- Shallow acne scars
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Spots and blemishes
- Non-responsive skin following a facelift
To prepare for laser skin care, you will be asked to avoid taking medication or supplements that affect clotting like aspirin or vitamin E 10 days before the procedure. If you smoke, you should stop two weeks before and after the procedure as it can slow down the healing process. Antibiotics or antiviral medicine may also be recommended if you are prone to fever blisters or cold sores. Redness, swelling, and peeling usually occur days after the procedure, but these are signs that the tissue is recovering and will fade days after.
