Whether it be a result of aging, or environmental damage, the skin is highly susceptible to certain surface damage like scars, wrinkles, lesions, discolorations and much more. To fight against these obstacles and help rejuvenate your skin back to its former glory, we specialize in offering our clients Laser Skin Resurfacing using some of the most effective devices around!
How does Laser Skin Resurfacing work?
Laser skin resurfacing works by penetrating beneath the skin’s surface, using highly precise, heat energy. This allows us to remove the skin’s outer layers one by one, to help remove blemishes, and other abrasions that may be present on the surface. In addition, because the skin’s outer surface is made up of mostly dull, dead, skin – by removing these layers, we are able to brighten and rejuvenate the surface, giving it a brand new vibrance that’s impossible to match!
As this heat energy emitted from the laser tip penetrates into the inner layer of the skin known as the dermis, it stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanism while simultaneously triggering the production of vital skincare proteins, known as collagen and elastin.
Collagen Production
One of the most important benefits provided by the use of laser skin therapy is that it stimulates the production of collagen beneath the skin’s surface. As the years go by, our skin grows depleted of vital skincare proteins like collagen and elastin. Leaving our skin without its natural defenses, and more susceptible to damage and other issues.
By boosting the production of these compounds, we are able to improve the overall appearance and texture of our skin. Ensuring that it will become smoother, softer and more supple – with an added elasticity and ability to stretch.
