Laser skin resurfacing is an anti-aging treatment that uses laser light to improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other marks on the face. When you undergo laser skin resurfacing in Dallas, the energy contained in the laser beam is used to remove damaged skin cells and promote the growth of new, healthy cells to achieve positive changes in your appearance. This treatment is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that can take as little as 30-45 minutes at EpiCentre Medical Spa at our Dallas and Plano locations.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Indications
The laser skin resurfacing technique is appropriate for addressing a variety of cosmetic concerns. This anti-aging treatment can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes and mouth, as well as address scars left by chicken pox or acne. Laser skin resurfacing is also appropriate for treating enlarged oil glands on the nose, some types of birthmarks and age spots, and non-responsive skin that may persist after a facelift.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure
You may receive laser skin resurfacing on only a few small parts of the face, or over the entire facial area. Prior to treatment, your physician at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute may use a local anesthetic in the areas to be treated for your comfort; alternatively, you may receive a sedative or even general anesthesia for a full face treatment. Partial facial treatments typically take half an hour to 45 minutes, while full face treatments may take up to two hours.

Laser Skin Resurfacing Recovery
After a laser skin resurfacing treatment, you may experience facial swelling. Your physician at Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute will bandage the treated areas and instruct you on cleaning and hydrating your face to prevent scabbing. Healing typically takes 10 to 21 days; you may receive steroids or other medications to manage swelling and prevent infection.

Losing weight and fat reduction are both ways to change the appearance of your body. However, fat reduction and weight loss use very different mechanisms to make these changes. Weight loss through diet and exercise causes the fat cells in your body to become smaller, also reducing the size of your body. However, these fat cells remain in place, and can become larger again without effective weight maintenance. Fat reduction procedures, such as CoolSculpting offered at EpiCentre Medical Spa at our Dallas and Plano locations, actually eliminate the fat cells entirely in the areas where you receive treatment. This may not cause you to physically lose much weight, but will cause visible changes in the appearance of your body, creating a slimmer, trimmer figure.
