Whether your skin is suffering from too much sun exposure, the effects of acne, or simply responding to the natural aging process, laser skin resurfacing can help. At Beverly Hills Sculptress in Beverly Hills, CA, we offer this treatment so you can feel confident that you’re always looking your best.
Laser skin resurfacing uses the focused energy of laser light in short, concentrated pulses to treat all kinds of skin issues. The treatment itself gets rid of the outer layers of dead skin cells to reveal the smooth, soft skin underneath.
The lasers accomplish this by creating a series of micro-channels in the skin. The skin perceives these as injuries, though they don’t hurt you, and this activates the body’s natural healing system. Not only is fresh collagen produced, but the skin itself will be refreshed with new cells.
If you are displeased with the look of your skin, this is probably the right treatment for you. The best way to know is to come to see us for a consultation. We can evaluate your skin, consider your goals and concerns, and let you know which treatments are best.
Laser skin resurfacing can be used to rejuvenate the skin anywhere on the face, neck, and chest, and it’s especially useful for addressing areas that are regularly exposed to the sun.
Some of the results of your treatment will be almost immediate, while others will develop over the next three to six months. This is expected since it takes some time for the skin to rejuvenate itself.
During these months, your body will be producing more collagen and elastin. These make the skin strong and supple, giving it the power to “snap back” from movement so the skin doesn’t so easily fall into lines and wrinkles. These effects will last for several years.
Each of us age at a different rate. That said, there are always some things you can do to extend your results. A lot will depend on how well you protect your skin from the most damaging aging factors, like the sun and pollution.
The best way to protect your skin is to avoid the sun during the time of day when UV rays are at their strongest, from around 10 am to 4 pm, and to wear at least 30 SPF sunscreen any time you’re outside or spending extended time near a window. You can also help your skin by staying well hydrated, avoiding smoking, minimizing alcohol intake, and eating a healthy, well-balanced diet.
