Wrinkle Reduction/ Laser Resurfacing
Your skin tells people your age more quickly than any other feature of your appearance. Beautiful skin is the foundation of a good look. Unfortunately, as you age, facial skin acquires a dry, dull appearance accompanied by wrinkles, blotchy pigment, and age spots. Correcting the appearance of aged skin basically breaks down into two main components, skin resurfacing and direct wrinkle treatment. At Plastic Surgical Associates in Fort Collins, we employ an array of treatment options for each of these components, giving us the ability to provide dramatic or subtle results depending on your willingness to accept some down time.
Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing is an essential component of any facial rejuvenation procedure. If the skin is tight but dull and wrinkled, no amount of contouring can restore the impression of youth. Skin resurfacing can correct or diminish:
- Dull, dry appearance of the skin
- Numerous fine wrinkles
- Uneven, blotchy coloration of the face
- Sun damage, acne scars, age spots
- Mild skin laxity
The options for skin resurfacing, from most invasive and effective (those procedures with the longest down time) to least invasive are:
- Erbium Laser
- Profractional Laser
- Chemical Peels
