How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Laser skin resurfacing uses concentrated beams of light to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate the production of new collagen. This rejuvenating process helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and even out pigmentation, offering a more youthful and radiant appearance.

Common Skin Issues Treated with Laser Resurfacing

  • Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Reduce the appearance of aging signs for a smoother complexion.
  • Acne Scars: Improve the appearance of both raised and indented acne scars.
  • Sun Damage: Reverse the effects of sun exposure, including age spots and discoloration.
  • Uneven Skin Tone: Minimize pigmentation issues and reduce hyperpigmentation.
  • Enlarged Pores: Tighten and reduce the appearance of large pores.
  • Sagging Skin: Stimulate collagen to tighten sagging skin for a youthful lift.
  • Rosacea: Calm redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea.

If you’re searching for solutions for any of these skin concerns, laser skin resurfacing in Encinitas at SOM Aesthetics may be the perfect treatment for you.

Types of Laser Treatments We Offer at SOM Aesthetics

Dr. Saami offers several advanced laser treatments tailored to your specific skin needs, including:

  • Sciton ProFractional® Laser: This fractional laser removes damaged skin cells while leaving surrounding tissue intact, which helps treat deep acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture without excessive downtime.
  • HALO® Hybrid Laser: A revolutionary treatment that combines ablative and non-ablative technology, HALO® improves skin tone, texture, and pigment while minimizing downtime. This is an excellent option for treating sun damage and fine lines.
  • MicroLaserPeel®: A superficial resurfacing treatment that removes a thin layer of skin to stimulate collagen production. It helps improve the appearance of fine lines, skin texture, pigmentation, and overall skin appearance, with minimal downtime.
  • Contour TRL™: For deeper resurfacing, Contour TRL is ideal for treating scarring, deep lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. While it has a longer recovery period compared to other lasers, Contour TRL produces more profound and long-lasting results.

Benefits of Laser Skin Resurfacing

  • Minimal Downtime: Treatments like ProFractional® and MicroLaserPeel® offer minimal recovery time, allowing you to get back to your daily routine quickly.
  • Long-Lasting Results: With the right care, the results of laser treatments can last for months or even years.
  • Versatility: Laser resurfacing can address a wide range of concerns, from acne scars to wrinkles and sun damage.
  • Precision: Lasers allow for targeted treatment, ensuring the best results with minimal risk of side effects.

Common Misconceptions About Laser Treatments

  • "Lasers Can Completely Remove Scars": While lasers can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, they may not always completely eliminate them.
  • "Laser Treatments Are Painful": Modern laser technology from Sciton means reduced discomfort during and after treatments. Plus, at SOM Aesthetics in Encinitas, we offer topical numbing and ProNox to all laser patients so that treatments can be as pain free as possible.
