What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

As we age, our skin reflects our past. The days at the beach, stressful times, environmental factors, hormonal changes, and our diets can affect the appearance of skin. If you’re looking to tackle skin concerns such as dullness, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, skin elasticity, fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, laser skin resurfacing in Indianapolis may be just what you need to achieve healthy, glowing skin again. Our revolutionary laser skin rejuvenation treatment can help reduce the signs of aging and boost your skin’s vitality.

Depending on your unique skin conditions, we calibrate the laser device to deliver specific wavelengths of light energy into the skin. The pigment in the skin absorbs the light energy and gets destroyed, thus improving the skin’s overall texture. We can target unwanted pigmented lesions and numerous other conditions. This treatment can also facilitate collagen production, making your skin look tighter and firmer. The treatment involves little discomfort and minimal downtime.

Your Laser Skin Resurfacing Journey

Before Laser Skin Resurfacing…

Laser skin resurfacing is performed after a thorough consultation and evaluation. The service provider will examine your skin, discuss your goals, and review your medical history. After a thorough assessment, the service provider will curate a treatment plan just for you. The laser device will be calibrated according to your skin color to ensure optimal results, and we may offer some preparatory guidelines to ensure perfect results. Please follow your service provider’s preparatory guidelines accurately.

During Laser Skin Resurfacing…

Laser skin resurfacing in Indianapolis is a fully customizable treatment delivered at the perfect intensity for your skin type and concerns. We can provide everything from mild resurfacing to a more aggressive approach without harming the integrity of your skin’s structure. Clients can expect some heat and tingling as the laser passes over the skin. The number of passes and treatment time depends on the depth of the treatment, but most treatments last between 15 to 20 minutes.

After Laser Skin Resurfacing…

Immediately following the treatment, you will notice some redness and increased sun sensitivity, which will lessen over the next day or so. It is normal for the pigment and debris on the surface of your skin to flake off during this time. In the following 5 to 6 days, your skin will have a dry, sandpaper-like texture. This is normal and will resolve as your skin exfoliates, revealing fresher, clearer skin. You will be given aftercare directions after your treatment to protect your skin.

Laser Skin Resurfacing FAQs

What is non-ablative fractionated laser treatment?

Our gentle but effective non-ablative laser skin resurfacing in Indianapolis targets the water molecules in the skin. This treatment can be customized to fit your needs – whether you are looking for light resurfacing to give your skin a glowing appearance before a special occasion or a deeper treatment to address fine lines, pigmentation, and mild to moderate sun damage. Non-ablative fractionated laser treatment is the perfect addition to your skincare routine.

Is there any downtime?

Laser skin resurfacing doesn’t involve any downtime, especially not with non-ablative fractionated laser devices. You may experience some post-treatment redness, swelling, tenderness, and discomfort on the treatment areas, and your skin might look flushed, but there’s no downtime. You can resume your normal daily activities and work immediately, barring a few reasonable activity limitations for a few days.

Is there a good laser and a bad laser for skin resurfacing?

There isn’t a “good” or “bad” laser; rather, different lasers are suited for different skin concerns. The Clear + Brilliant laser is a gentle option for mild signs of aging, while Fraxel targets moderate wrinkles, scars, and sun damage. For deeper wrinkles, severe sun damage, or scarring, Fractional CO2 is more aggressive but yields the most dramatic improvement.

Is laser skin resurfacing painful?

The discomfort of laser skin resurfacing in Indianapolis varies depending on the type of laser used and the intensity of the treatment. Most patients experience mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn sensation, during and after the procedure. However, anesthetic creams are typically applied before treatment to numb the skin and make the experience more tolerable.

Who is a good candidate for laser skin resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for individuals seeking to improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage. Candidates should have healthy skin and realistic expectations about results. People with active acne, severe rosacea, or other skin conditions may not be ideal candidates and should consult a dermatologist. A professional consultation is essential to assess suitability based on skin type, concerns, and health history.
