Introduction
Many cosmetic issues that bother people about their facial skin are surface deep. That means it’s possible to enjoy a refreshed and rejuvenated look by getting a new surface! Laser skin resurfacing at the Milwaukee area’s Parkins Plastic Surgery removes small sections of the dead, outermost layer of skin—known as the stratum corneum—which is home to fine lines, scars, and other blemishes. An accumulation of dead cells can also contribute to a dull, aged appearance.
Using a CO2 laser, the Parkins Plastic Surgery team can vaporize skin cells by rapidly heating water molecules found throughout the surface. This laser skin resurfacing treatment offers a dual benefit: it exposes smoother, younger-looking skin cells and stimulates collagen production for ongoing improvement.
CO2 laser skin resurfacing provides dramatic rejuvenation results by removing the outermost layer of damaged skin to reveal a brighter, more pristine complexion. At the same time, the technology triggers renewed collagen growth, enhancing skin suppleness and vitality from within. Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for addressing a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including poor skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and age spots.
Laser skin resurfacing provides our patients in the Milwaukee and Madison area with a range of impressive advantages, renewing confidence and peace of mind. Benefits include:
Individuals bothered by certain age-related cosmetic issues, including fine lines, uneven tone, and rough texture, may benefit from laser skin resurfacing. Since there are several resurfacing options available, a consultation is the best way to determine which treatment would best provide the desired results. Some treatments remove cells, some pass through the surface to trigger renewal in deeper cells, and some do both.
Before deciding on laser skin resurfacing as the ideal option for any patient, our Parkins Plastic Surgery team will conduct a consultation to gain a better understanding of the specific skin conditions that need improvement and the patient’s ultimate cosmetic goals.
Once laser skin resurfacing is decided upon as the best course of action, patients can expect their treatment session to be relatively brief, with the exact duration depending on the number of areas being treated and their size.
The laser energy entering the skin creates a snapping sensation, similar to that of a rubber band. While this is generally well tolerated by a wide variety of patients, a numbing cream is available for application prior to the treatment to improve patient comfort.
Treated skin will appear red and be sensitive in the days after laser skin resurfacing. Due to the increased sensitivity, it is especially important to keep it protected against ultraviolet radiation from the sun and other sources.
Dead skin may ultimately flake off, revealing a smoother, clearer, more even surface beneath. Patients will continue to see improvements in their skin tone and texture over the following weeks, as cells rejuvenated by the laser skin resurfacing will produce collagen that firms the skin and creates a framework to house beneficial hyaluronic acid.
The cost of laser skin resurfacing in the Milwaukee and Madison area will depend on the treatment area size, the depth of resurfacing required, and the number of sessions recommended for you, but patients can expect to to pay between $2,000 and $3,000 per treatment session.
