Lasers work to remove the outer layer of skin that covers and thick layers of dead skin. After that, the laser light is caused by the restructuring of the dermal collagen layer or deeper skin. The overall effect is to tighten the skin, smoothing fine wrinkles and other skin …show more content…
After that, the skin looks a little pink and sensitive a few weeks, but most patients can resume applying make-up of 7-10 days, if desired.
Erbium: YAG laser
Erbium: YAG laser uses a light wavelength of 2940 nm, which is quickly absorbed by the water in our cells. It treats an average light skin dark or olive skin was a small risk of any hypopigmentation (skin permanent lighting) and very low risk of hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin), or scarring, experienced hands. This laser can achieve very good results, compared CO2 laser in many cases.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) lase CO2 laser resurfacing has long been regarded as "gold standard" of deep laser resurfacing, for impressive results achieved by nature. It uses 10,600 nm infrared light, which is also absorbs water in our cells. A more recent significant reductions in CO2 laser technology "scan" adverse effects such as hypopigmentation, or lightening the skin risks. CO2 lasers are usually suits in patients with fair complexions average, although the new "fractionated" technology laser to be used for most skin
