How long do laser skin resurfacing results last?
The results of laser skin rejuvenation in Baltimore & Columbia, MD at Comprehensive Laser are “permanent,” however they don’t stop the normal process of aging.
When can I go out under the sun?
Gradually, carefully, 2 weeks after your treatment unless our specialists tell you otherwise. Use copious amounts of a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30.
Should I opt for an ablative or non-ablation procedure?
That depends entirely on your cosmetic goals and skin condition. Generally speaking, ablative skin resurfacing is used to remove acne marks and moderate wrinkles from the skin’s surface, while non-ablative procedures are used to treat mild issues of pigmentation and uneven skin texture. Our specialists will help you determine the procedure that suits you best.
What are the common risks and side effects with laser skin resurfacing?
Common risks and side effects of laser skin resurfacing include temporary redness, swelling, and potential for hyperpigmentation or scarring, especially with aggressive treatments or improper aftercare.
Can laser resurfacing be combined with other treatments?
Laser resurfacing can be combined with treatments such as dermaplaning, chemical peels, or microneedling to further improve skin texture and tone. Additionally, it can complement procedures like Botox or dermal fillers to address both surface imperfections and deeper wrinkles or volume loss.
