Contact UsWhat is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Skin resurfacing with a laser at South Texas Family Medicine and Aesthetics is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes a mixture of heat and ablation to eliminate damaged surface skin cells one layer at a time with the revolutionary FemiLift Pixel CO2 platform. The treatment is used for reducing facial wrinkles and lines and for diminishing skin flaws such as acne scars, pigmentation, and other blemishes. Sometimes referred to as a laser peel, laser skin resurfacing is considered an ideal procedure for patients desiring softer, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin. Depending on the condition of the skin, the treatment can be customized for the best results. There is some downtime required with the majority of laser skin resurfacing procedures. Any concerns or questions can be discussed with our team during an assessment and consultation.
Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQ
How much does laser skin resurfacing cost?
The cost of laser resurfacing with the FemiLift Pixel CO2 will vary based on the treatment you choose and your specific needs. During your initial consultation, a member of our staff will listen to your skin issues and aesthetic goals before reviewing the different types of laser resurfacing available. Then, he can help you choose your treatment and talk to you about costs. South Texas Family Medicine and Aesthetics often runs treatment specials and discounted packages, so be sure to ask about any deals during your consultation.
What's the best type of resurfacing for me?
Our team will help you decide which skin resurfacing treatment will best meet your concerns and goals during your initial consultation. The best treatment for you will depend on the condition of your skin, your skin problems, and how deep you want your treatment to go. The length of recovery time may also be a deciding factor when you create a treatment plan. If you are unsure, it is best to try a milder treatment and then assess your results and decide if you want something stronger for your second appointment.
How can I help my skin recover after a resurfacing treatment?
Our experienced team will give you tips on how you can expedite your skin healing following your treatment. By using the FemiLift Pixel CO2, recovery time is cut down significantly. The biggest rule is to not pick or peel your skin. This could create long-term damage, including scars. You should skip all hair removal methods in the treatment area during this time, which means no shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams. We can recommend a cream to help soothe and heal treated areas.
Should I get laser skin resurfacing, a chemical peel, or dermabrasion?
After listening to your concerns, we will help you decide if laser skin resurfacing, dermabrasion, or a chemical peel is best for you. While they all improve your skin, each has benefits and drawbacks. In your initial consultation, he can review each option and make a suggestion for your treatment.
How often should I get laser resurfacing treatments?
Based on the laser resurfacing options you and our staff choose for your treatment, you might need to wait a few weeks or even a few months between treatments. Deep treatments will give you longer-lasting results; however, they do require a longer recovery period. You should talk to our team about how frequently you are willing to come back for treatments so we can take this into account when choosing a resurfacing plan during your consultation.
