What is laser skin resurfacing?
The Lumenis® ResurFXTM treatment is a fractional skin rejuvenation solution, enabling your physician to offer you remarkable results for younger, healthier, glowing skin. With unique fractional rejuvenation technology, the ResurFXTM non-ablative skin resurfacing, allows for comfortable, fast, and effective treatment.
Here at Klink the laser resurfacing treatment involves an ablative laser - this removes the epidermis of the skin which allows increased heat to radiate to the underlying dermis. This stimulates collagen production which in turn improves skin firmness and texture. As the epidermis regrows, the skin presents a tighter and smoother appearance, reducing signs of ageing, laxity, tone and reduces scars and stretch marks.
This treatment can be used on a number of areas, granted the area hasn't been exposed to sun recently. It is also importsnt to add in suncream to the areas following this to ensure the greatest protection to your skin.
What happens on the day of treatment?
- Following your consultation and test patch 2 weeks prior to treatment, a medical questionnaire will be filled out which will deem whether you are suitable for treatment.
- A series of pictures will be taken to allow us to compare the outcome of your treatments to ensure we reach your desired result.
- Your skin will then be cleansed and marked out. A white pencil will be used to cover any moles on the skin as we do not want the laser to affect them.
- The procedure will begin and should take no longer than an hour.
- It is important to apply suncream to the area post treatment. As a new layer of skin is exposed, it is important to keep it as healthy as possible.
