Laser Skin Treatment

What is it?

Laser skin treatment is a cosmetic procedure conducted in a specially trained doctor's office that removes the damaged outer layers of the skin to reveal fresh, rejuvenated and glowing skin.

This specific type of treatment is able to treat a variety of skin problems such as,

• Acne scars

• Wrinkles

• Sun-damaged skin

• Birthmarks

• Scar

The Procedure

At Lakewood Dentistry Cosmetics, the professionals use the Laser Genesis, a non-invasive laser procedure, which offers the patient ease, accuracy, and a safe skin treatment. During the procedure the doctor will utilizes lasers, which contain carbon dioxide, to smoothly and effectively remove and vaporize the outer most layers of the skin allowing new and a more youthful looking layer of skin and collagen to form in its place.

The laser beam is so precise and safe that laser skin treatment can be used anywhere on the body. However, most people commonly use this special skin care treatment on their face to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.

For scars on the body that penetrate deep into skin, laser treatment can help with them too! The laser is able to reach deep into the dermis to remove several layers of skin, which ultimately is capable of removing an unwanted scar no matter the size or age.

Depending on each patient's specific request, treatments will vary. It generally takes 4-6 treatments to complete the entire process depending on patient's desired outcome.

The Healing Process

Because each skin care treatment is highly unique to each patient, and no two people heal alike, it can be difficult to pinpoint the healing time for each treatment. Also, depending on the area size, the specific skin treatment and the level of penetration into the skin, the healing time will vary. During your appointment, the specialist can offer a better healing time frame for you.
